Bad Gear x Roland Cloud

Welcome to Bad Gear, show about world’s most-hated audio tools. We all know that Roland doesn’t chase ghosts but like every big company they chase something completely different. Today we are going to talk about Roland Cloud - You will own nothing! This “Matrix” among software instrument ecosystems was rolled out in 2018, based on the already controversial Content Store and turned the usual UX nightmare of modern internet into something even true Roland fans might consider to be more more despicable than “he who must not be named”. You will own nothing. Timecodes: 00:00 - Intro 00:55 - Overview Roland Cloud 01:56 - Zenology Plugin 02:46 - That Supersaw Scam Again???
