This is the best Zenology tutorial I’ve seen on YouTube. It’s endless. I’ve had it for awhile, and half of these things I didn’t know. Thank you.

That's really great Ben ! Do you plan to make the rest of the tutorials anytime soon ? :)

If I were to take a guess, I'm assuming the PCMs are multisamples with baked in loop points. Basically a collection of samples for different sections of the keyboard so that while you might get a little jankiness if you go away from the sweet spot of a given sample, you'll never be far enough off to sound terrible. Gives a balance between CPU, storage and memory usage while also maintaining decent sound quality.

Such a great video for helping me wrap my head around the partial tone editor on my mc101. Really helps me visualize what’s going on in those menus. Very excited for the next part.

Incredible!! Youre a legend. Love to see a breakdown of the voice stealing heavy elements for patches to be aware of!

It's a pity you didn't make any follow-up videos to this one. Come to think of it, I haven't seen a new video in months. Did you get bored of your MC-101 because I binged all of those.

I really wish Roland would integrate this plugin as PART of a 101/707 plugin to control our hardware. It's unfortunate how disconnected their hardware is from the software. The TR is a LOT less complicated than the 101/707 at least we get a stand alone for that, which SHOULD be a VST/Auv3...
