The best way I can put it is this: Omnisphere sounds like a growling monster in the low-ends, and like some sort of magic crystals in the high-end. It's good, but not a perfect emulation of the hardware.

I raised the volume to see if it's just not loud enough (and maybe I'm blaming it for that.) But no, something's missing. It's not sparking in the high-end, like I remember. But, I gotta say: There's something missing in the sound. And yes, it reminded me of the hardware (my friend had one in high-school I used to play all the time).

Of course, I loaded up PizzaGogo and played me some Enya. But man, did it flicker! (again, in 2018 I expert a professional UX that doesn't do this). When I click the 'partials' button, the bottom half (keyboard) switches to show a panel of partials. Then, I played with the D50 (the main reason I got this whole thing). But when I tried to install the 2GB 1986 anthology, it said 'Installing.' for about 40 minutes - and all during that time I couldn't tell whether it was still progressing or hung! Um, this UI is not giving me confidence. When I clicked install for D50, it went fine. That in itself is not a big problem, but as my FIRST experience of the product, I was a bit scared to see a UX with small glitches. every time I launch it, the icons take 5 seconds to refresh, and it flickers. Here's my experience:ġ) The UX of the Roland Cloud manager is NOT good.

The other 10% of the gripes was about the clunky UI.Īnyway, so I downloaded the 1-month free trial today. I've been eying Roland Cloud for about 6 months now - I couldn't get past the subscription model, so I never bought it.īut this weekend, I finally convinced myself that I could try it for a few months, and see how it goes - maybe get past the subscription model thing.įor the past 6 months, I've been watching reviews, and youtube videos, and it seemed like 90% of the gripes were about subscription model.
