My assessment with the roland cloud system:
"They definitely need to work on a better work flow for the sound cloud.
So with a subscription of $10 a month (or other subscription options), you have access to 001 to like 0130 sound packs. Like 130 packs of sounds that each have like 15 to 30 some sounds in them each. That is a lot of extra sounds
Like over 3,000 extra sounds so far!
However gm-800 only has access to put another additional 256 sounds via usb memory stick.
However when you sign up and go to the gm-800 tab in the roland cloud app, there's only a few that will download directly to your computer.
The 100 or so others are stored in zenology pro when you open it. Therefore you have to open zenology pro plug-in, find a sound pack you don't have yet then click on a sound in that pack, click write, a pop up window shows up, you can make a new bank in there. I prefer to label it the same name as the sound packs like example SDZ005 LA Synths or whatever one I'm on so I know. Then you click write and point to a spot to put that one sound in there, then go back and do it all for every sound inside that sound pack.
Why can't they just make it easier and let us download the entire sound pack from zenology, instead of having to do one by one in each sound pack, it's tiring lol.
Then once you loaded up every sound from that sound pack, you click export, and it'll export it as a SVZ format, stick it on usb stick, put in usb memory on gm-800 and load them in the 256 extra slots.
So been taking some time and doing this, gonna take awhile to get all of them done. However good thing is once you are done and you save them on your computer, they are yours forever, then you can cancel your subscription if you want or keep it and wait until they add more from time to time!
Other cool thing is with zenology pro plug-in, you have access to much more powerful engine to edit any of these sounds and make into your own bank. Parameters and stuff that isn't inside the gm-800 hardware.
The loading inside gm-800 is a bit tiring too but not too bad. You have to go to menu, then find the tone import section, then in there your sound packs will show up from your usb stick. Then find a sound pack you want, enter it, then in there if you have enough slots left, all you have to do is press button beside each sound in the sound pack and it'll add a check mark by each one then it'll load them all up if there was enough room. However if your 256 extra slots are taken, you have to do double duty clicking on left and right side of the screen to add new sounds in existing slots etc.."
