Roland ZENOLOGY GX for iPad: ZEN-Core to Go!
Roland ZENOLOGY GX for iPad brings the powerful ZEN Core synthesis engine to the mobile platform. The standalone instrument for iPadOS will be released soon – and it’ll be free for a limited time!
Roland ZENOLOGY GX for iPad
Roland is offering a sneak preview of ZENOLOGY GX for iPad at NAMM 2026. The macOS and Windows versions of the software instrument packed with thousands of Roland sounds came out a couple of months ago. Soon, you’ll also be able to use it on the go, as well.
Like the desktop version, ZENOLOGY GX for iPad is based on the ZEN-Core synthesis engine, which also powers flagship hardware instruments like the FANTOM series and the Jupiter-X.
According to Roland, the app offers a high-resolution user interface and includes the ‘core feature set’ of the desktop version. It comes with a handy patch browser and thousands of ZEN-Core sounds. In addition, Roland says that the app offers ‘integrated creative tools’, although they don’t say much about the details yet.
Judging by the screenshot, ZENOLOGY GX for iPad will give you access to the individual ZEN-Core partials (up to four per sound), including their oscillators, filters, envelopes, and LFOs. So you’ll have a wide array of sound design tools at your disposal. Effects are also included, as is a sequencer.
Price and Availability
According to Roland, ZENOLOGY GX for iPad is scheduled for release in ‘early 2026’, so it shouldn’t be much longer. During the introductory period, the software synth will be available as a free download. After that, you’ll be able to access it through a Roland Cloud subscription or by purchasing a Lifetime Key.
