Roland Galaxias // Create your own Frankensynths

Enhance the classics by combining analog, digital, vintage and modern tones.

We've now got a standalone synths for Roland Cloud Ultimate,... and they've given us an upgrade - you can just load your favourite synths or you can create monster hybrids. With Galaxias you can build up to 4 layers per scene - so you've got Fantom style complex performance patches .. without needing a FANTOM. Plus this can use 4 ACB models in a single patch/scene.

FUN WITH SYNTHS!!

I'm repeating myself over and over again : I want the System 16 (Hardware) Synth from Roland... With 16 Voices and all ACB models 😊

[mybachhertzbaud]

When this first came out, I didn't think it was necessary as I was already doing this thru templates in my daw. But after finally getting it working, I would not want to be without it, as an ultimate user.😁🎶🎹🎶Play On

Since 1978, I went from non-midi hardware synths to midi synths, to 20+ years of "workstations". I dropped workstation's in favor of software synths and master controller. While I still own a boatload of software synths, I recently revamped my setup based on Montage M8x. I still use and love Omnisphere, Diva, Hive, Zebra and Arturia V, but the immediacy of the new UI and controls of the Montage M8x coupled with the poly aftertouch has me actually playing versus endless menus diving and too many software options.
I might have been more creative with a Dyno-My-Rhodes, MS-20 and Oberheim OBXa than to 5000x+ options I have today

I have Roland Cloud, and I own the Juno 60, SH-101, 808, TB-303, System 100, and 909 VST's (all of which I got as rewards for years of having paid for my pro membership on the cloud). I'm really, REALLY tempted to spring for a Juno X... but I'm trying to decide whether the immediacy created by having the actual hardware box is worth the $1700 a new Juno X will cost. I'm not a keyboard player, so I basically use the Ableton Push to "play" these synths (I DO have a fair knowledge of music theory, so I'm able to finish tracks without being a keyboard player). I'm just really, really hung on this decision. If Roland made desktop versions of the Juno and Jupiter, there's no question I'd be all over that (and I don't mean the boutiques - I'm talking a full desktop version with the multi-timbrality, full polyphony, etc.) Anyway, another banging video - thanks, Starsky!

I’ve been waiting for your review. I think it’s amazing, and am really working forward to DAW hosting!

[leetronix]

Excellent overview. I think this is great for those who love the roland sound 👍

[Vim-Wolf]

Not sure how I should feel about this as an owner of both a D50 and a maxed out XV5080. On the upside they don't have a subscription fee :)

[BinuralOdyssey]

So this is essentially the Jupiter x editor but with the addition of legendary synths?

[djkanyon]

Bro it's been a month i still don't get what this is for. Didn't Zenology already had a GIU and FX section? Yup it couldn't stack synths but any DAW could do it. Just use two or more tracks. RIght? Legitimately confused here.

[dankeplace]

BSG for the win. OG kicks it for sure and the 4K version of the movie is outstanding

[rhamlyn]

The Roland Cloud is a nightmare. Avoid.

[rashadhaynes]

So I have the free demo of it but it's not pulling up any sounds and it's not pulling up in mpc live2 so it's kinda a let down

[wavesequencer]

Plugin developers working hard to remove all aliasing.. users come along and use a bit-crusher effect 🤷‍♂ (Joke alert.. I also added a bit-crusher in my plugin)

[jensbarth]

What can Galaxias do what Unify, Mainstage, Gigperformer etc. can't?

[SuperChaoticus]

$200 per year? Gonna have to be a hard pass. It makes Arturia V seem like a bargain, even at full price.

[holgernetterby]

Love your reviews and videos - both informative and funny to watch.

One thing - I noticed that you said a real Jupiter-4 have no sub oscillator but I think you really meant that a real Jupiter-4 only have a on/off switch for the sub and not a level control for the sub as the ACB model have. Around 20:10 in the video.

Keep up the good work. Cheers from Sweden! 😃

[helisoma]

i'm curious that there seems to be no Roland JX-8P nor it's doppelgänger the Roland Super JX-10 (although the JX-8P would be sufficient given you could probably add more voices) ...

[MaxiSokrates]

Certainly not bad. Unfortunately, you will never own it because it only works via a subscription model. And even with the things that you can buy with a lifetime key, you still need a regular internet connection, otherwise the purchased software synths will no longer work after 30 days. The idea behind the Roland Cloud is fantastic and it's actually a Roland dream come true that you have everything Roland has ever had on your computer. But the Roland Cloud can be absolute hell and a nightmare.

[hectorluisgarciagarcia]

will you be able to buy this outright or is suscription only?

[ohheyitskevinc]

Looks alright.
Here’s the thing though - I have 9 lifetime keys from just buying one offs and a couple of years of play 4 life subscription.
Am I allowed to use this with just the stuff I own? Apparently not.
Ps Merry Christmas! Hope you had a good one!
