The Anthology libraries are actually full sample-based models of entire keyboards or sound modules. The D-50, the D-70, the JD-990, SR-JV80-02 Orchestral Board, etc. But Roland just made them all free to download lol, and for that, I'm thinking about financially supporting their decision to not make them unusable or legally unobtainable after discontinuing them.

I would never buy a Roland hardware synth that relies on Roland Cloud for its sounds. I have a few Roland boutiques, but I can't imagine being happy with having a hardware box that has to reconnect to the internet every so often just for me to be able to keep playing its sounds to their full extent.

Roland lost me when I missed to ‚migrate‘ my legacy account couple of years ago and now I do not dare to change any of my currently loaded plugouts in my System-8, fearing I‘d lose them and need to buy them again.
It‘s still kind of unclear to me how this works without subscription/rebuy (e.g. being able to use the PC/Mac-plugin at least for patch management for System-8 like formerly possible). Documentation in typical Roland-style outdated, unclear or misleading.
Anyhow: Thank you for shedding some light into the current offering!

This is exactly the video breakdown I was looking for.

This is very helpful. Roland should have this on their landing page.

Thanks so much for this. I don't think it is this material is well explained at all on their website. You answer all the questions I've had and not found or not found easily about the Roland Cloud.

For anyone in the Native Instruments Komplete Kontrol/Maschine world - it appears they’re releasing KK and Maschine with VST3 support, which means we’ll finally be able to run Roland Cloud plug-ins dawless in KK/Maschine since Roland Cloud is one of the few that doesn’t support VST2.

I understand the reasons and theory behind ownership or rent. I want the WC1 to work with the Roland Fantom 6 so that I can easily expand the sounds I buy. Roland is loosing money not providing the WC1 to work with their Fantom 6’7’8. 11:21

Thank you for taking the time to share your thoughts. I procrastinated joining the Roland Cloud until I needed the TR-8S Editor. Now, I'm thinking this is more interesting than I thought.

Roland's Play4Life promotion is a great option when they are running it - you pay for the Ultimate Plan (I think it's still USD $199/year), you then get access to everything for the year but you also get to pick 2 instruments each year to keep as permanent licenses!

[PeterReesvan]

Thanks for clearing this up. I just didn‘t get the concept of Roland cloud, now I do!

[HOLLASOUNDS]

I have no doubt that Rolands software is the highest quality they are legends and it couldn't be any less however I'm already invested in other brands.

[JamesBermingham]

Great explanation of the Roland Cloud ecosystem. Thank you.

[BassamAbusamra]

I have the pro plan and I can use two plugins from the ultimate plan but the good thing is i can change what these two are anytime i want to use a plugin, so the limitations are only 2 plugins at the same time from the legendary synths.

[kevinsturges]

I love the Roland cloud. I have bought several of their lifetime key purchases. The only thing that constantly makes me uncomfortable is that Roland is always checking into my computer to see if I am allowed to use my purchases or not. I absolutely hate that. What’s going to happen when something goes wrong and I can no longer use the software that I bought to own? There have been several times I opened my DAW and none of the Roland Cloud instruments would authorize. Strangely, the next day they would work again.

If I bought it, I shouldn’t have to check into the internet before using it. Period. Very bad business approach.

[nobobyelse]

I hate subscription based stuff but as long as its about 10$ a month I have no issues with it. $20 monthly subscriptions are overpriced in my opinion
Anyways I do like that Roland gives you the chance to buy the plugins as you go. Seems fair.
The subscription midel is why I quit adobe products and moved on to Affinity.

[JamesBermingham]

13:00 This is NOT TRUE for the Fantom-O Series. You have to purchase the Model Expansions ON TOP of the Ultimate membership. I have recently learned this, being a Fantom-O user. The packs DO come with the regular Fantom flagship synths.

I look forward to watching this upload...
