Buzz zone is a boutique ‘performance-oriented’ polyphonic synth with a rich set of features, cutting edge DSP and a streamlined modern interface, a hybrid of warm analog modelling and state of the art digital processing with a focused feature set for endless inspiration and experimentation.
The synthesiser features two powerful engines that can be layered together for a variety of complex sounds and textures. The ‘Synth’ engine features a great sounding ‘wavetable’ oscillator with a unison function for buzzy, harmonically rich timbres, hence the name! The ‘Sample’ engine can be used to layer additional textures or transients over the sound.
Features include:
- 9 Powerful multi segment envelopes, one for each of the 9 main controls, with an intuitive ‘auto curve’ function
- Streamlined yet versatile interface with all controls on a single screen
- Deep analog modelling based on the cream of Eurorack modules and legendary vintage synths
- State of the art DSP, with the latest ADAA anti aliasing techniques for rich analog sounds without digital artefacts, even when pushed into extreme territories.
- Creative routing, unusual filters plus FM, AM, ring modulation and wave folding to creating harmonically rich analog timbres ideal for modern sound design
- Extensive library of meticulously crafted wavetables
- Vocoder mode allows you to imprint tonal characteristics of the loaded samples on to the output of the Synth engine
