It's far too complicated without an app - pity they don't release an app based on Zenology FX. The mad thing about the RD88 is how many effects engines it has - at any one time you could apply MFX (90 types), IFX (90), Chorus/Delay (9), Reverb (7) plus EQs and Compression. F-Zero GX was a high speed, futuristic racing game created by Nintendo in the year 2003, for the popular Nintendo Gamecube system, it was given very high ratings for its impressive graphics, amazing soundtrack, and unprecedented high speed racing. Obviously, editing them on the RD88 is like trying to paint the hall through the letterbox, but all those effects are in Zenology. Although the some of the Organs in the EXZ008 Vintage Keys expansion have the Leslie baked in and routed to the mod wheel - like the old Emu B3 module. You will also find the VK Rotary with around 18 parameters for Drum, Horn and Drive.

Even the fabled Juno 106 Chorus is in there. There are 90 to choose from including some aimed specifically at EPs like RD Amp Sim with adjustable Tremelo, Amp type, Speaker type and Drive. However, I have found that the stock presets can be greatly improved by turning off "Follow MFX" and rolling your own. The thing about the RD88 is that all the programs use the factory MFX setting - this ensures patches exported from Zenology have the correct effect when loaded back into the RD.

Both are available in Roland Cloud.Īs AnotherScott says the deep editing is done in Zenology but you can edit all the effect parameters from the RD88. I'm not an expert on Clav samples but some say the Classic Keys expansion EXZ011 which is the same as the SRX Electric Piano has good or better(?) Pianos and Clavs (different pickup settings).
