MC-707 / MC-101 Sounds Design and Zenology Pro

[slim_pkns]

Hello.

I apologize if I've posted this in the wrong place. I posted an exact copy on the MC-707/101 forum:

I realize now, after really making the MC-707 the central brain of my 'band', that good sound design with a Zencore product requires Zenology Pro and a DAW that can run VST/AU plugins. I use the MC-707 because it offers DAW-like features but doesn't require me to run a DAW and sit at the computer... and it serves me well. However I chose it over the AKAI and Korg products because of the Zencore engine and what I could do with it outside of a computer. Now I realize I'm forced to use at least ZenBeats to run Zenology Pro and the windowing/user interface is terrible. I can't keep it sized right and the text is too small and looks less respectable than I'm used to seeing from Roland. I expect more for the price of the MC-707, Roland Cloud, and Zenology Pro to really take advantage of the product and it's capability.

Why can't Zenology Pro be a stand alone software product with a good clean user interface? I don't want to limit my sound design and have to save sounds to Projects! I want them fully designed with the fabulous, powerful, full-featured Zencore engine as I paid for.
