Phone=Plug-in stupid typo. You think mods could edit their own titles but no

If your inbox can take a pounding, and you can attend the Livestream it's free. (And you install their installer).

Marketing aside, seems like a useful plug-in for vaporwave. I've purchased a bunch of their sample packs on sale in the past, ymmv.

[New Release] The most anticipated app of the year is out: Roland ZENOLOGY GX for iPad (currently free/unlocked)

Big news for the iPad synth heads—Roland just officially dropped ZENOLOGY GX on the App Store.

This isn't just a preset browser; it’s the full ZEN-Core engine that they use in their flagship hardware, rebuilt with a touch-friendly interface. It’s got 4 voices per tone, deep mod matrices, and all the classic Roland FX (Dimension D, Juno Chorus, etc.).

The pricing situation (The Good & The Bad):

  • The Good: Right now, they are doing a "Free Experience" promo. If you download it and sign in with a free Roland account, the entire app and all 4,200+ presets are fully unlocked for free until later in 2026.
  • The Bad (Eventually): Once the promo ends, the free app will revert to a limited "lite" version. To keep the full features, you'll either need a Roland Cloud subscription OR you'll have to buy a one-time "Lifetime Key" (price TBD, but probably not cheap).
  • AUv3: It's standalone right now, but Roland confirmed an AUv3 update is dropping during this free period.

Making vaporwave again after a some years. (help)

Hey everyone, I recently got back into listening to the genre and I'd like some advice. In 2019 I made some music and posted it on my channel, and this week I listened to some projects and decided to rework them again.

I'd like to know how I can achieve a sound similar to what Luxury Elite and Saint Pepsi did on their album "Late Night Delight," one of my favorite albums.

Any advice would be greatly appreciated.

How to make vaporwave not sound robotic

I've started making sample-free vaporwave (more specifically slushwave). I've been using Diva for most of the instruments and I design in vital sounds when I need something, but I always have a huge problem with making it sound human, this is, is almost always ends up sounding robotic and way too simple, and it's not about the chord progressions because I try to use 80s pop chord progressions to make my melodies. I've tried strumming the chords for example but it doesn't change much, maybe it's about the synths, but I don't have storage space to download for example Asturia V, and it's not about the effects because there I know how to make it sound good, I know how to slush a track well.
