The Roland Zenology was initially released in May 2020 as a rackmount-style softsynth built on the ZEN-Core engine which powers the Jupiter-X and Fantom.[1] It has been expanded to provide full control panels for specific 'Model Expansions'.[2] It initially came with 3,597 presets, expandable through many themed preset packs.[3] These are now fully editable in Zenology Pro. Roland has, for example, released an expansion that models the Roland JX-8P,[4] providing a full control panel with similar access to parameters as provided by the JX-8P's PG-800 programmer. Two or more instances of Zenology can be layered, effectively providing the functionality of a Roland JX-10.
