The legendary waveshaping sound of Z3TA+ (zay'-ta) is back – and better than ever. New filters, modulatable waveshapers, flexible effects, expressive control and a gorgeous new interface make Z3TA+ 2 one seriously powerful synth. It’s not often that a soft synth can be called a classic, but in the case of Z3TA+ it’s definitely appropriate. Used on countless tracks over the past decade, Z3TA+’s distinctive sound has been a staple of electronic artists the world over.

0_o

 

Drag-n-drop Routing
Z3TA+ 2’s effects section features easy routing of all effects and a new, flexible distortion module.
The distortion module includes the new Hypertube algorithm and can effect the filter busses, the effects section, or both.

New Filter Types
The Filter section has 4 new filter types bringing the total to 14.
Both filters are now readily accessible and visible simultaneously with Separation control for tweaking resonance peaks on stacked filters.

New Waveshaping Modes
Fold: Folds the entire waveform over itself by progressively swapping the left and right halves.
Spectrum: Harmonic levels wander in alternating directions creating a complex phaser-like quality.
Random All: Creates continuously random variations of all harmonic levels.
Random Odd: Only odd harmonic levels are randomized, while even harmonics are progressively suppressed.

Enhanced Modulation Matrix
All 16 Waveshapers are now accessible via the Modulation Matrix opening up a huge variety of new sound shaping possibilities.

Graphical LFOs
New Graphical LFOs clearly show the resulting LFO shapes when morphing between 2 waves
and the new AMOUNT fader quickly scales an LFO’s intensity.

Graphical Arp
New Graphical Arp provides visual display of Arp patterns, including 100 new patterns and 50 new ‘Gate’ patterns from Dance MIDI Samples.
Instantly apply trance gates to synth pads and leads and increase total Arp flexibility and expression with Humanize and Swing controls.

Graphical Envelopes
New Graphically Controlled Envelopes feature an improved design and provide
visual representation and realtime feedback of all Envelope Generators.

High Resolution
Z3TA+’s legendary sound engine has been improved with a new ‘HIGHEST’ SRC algorithm providing smoother,
more accurate interpolation of wavetables. Of course, the sound of original Z3TA+ patches have been faithfully preserved.

Total Performance
The Performance Module gives quick, hands-on control of the analog-simulating Burst and Drift parameters
as well as Portamento and in-depth X/Y pad control. New speed control for X/Y Pad adjusts the morphing speed of X/Y coordinates.

Adaptive Pitch Bend
Adaptive Pitch Bend allows for the bending of notes within the key and mode performed
and automatically learns the key based on performance.


¿Are all these things new or not?

¿It's only marketing strategy?

¿Is there anybody out there who works with this synth?

 

I think mild pump milk is right!

It has been a while since I last visited the site. I thought they have updated the software.

I`m afraid I`ve made a mistake and for that I`m terribly sorry!

Reviraw - give it a try. The interface is a bit ugly in my opinion, but is very easy to program and has some very good sounds.

 

lol

 

May be not new, but definitely one of the best.

For a moment I thought there was a new version

 

Dude, I didn`t know if you were right or wrong. I pasted the info thinking other guys might help us to decide if it`s new or not. And yes, the GUI confuses me and because of that, I didn`t give it a try. Maybe I will.

 

what is sorta new is that the ipad version can now exchange sounds with the plugin version, which is quite awesome, currently writing a song with it. the lfo section is very awesome

 

I go with this one
It`s Waveshaping is awesome and the sound ...
I won`t "ever" use Massive, again.

 

Very under rated synth.
Some ppl say : come on ! It is OLD !!!

But not. Base engine is better sounding than V1. And a lot of additions in V2.
Z3ta 2 get very snappy attacks for killer bass and plucks, rich modulations for pads and FX, sharp sound for leads...
To me, with good settings, it sounds near Spire, witch is my reference now.
Bass weight and impact, especially. I can't stand "treble" synths : Diversion, ANA to name a few. I want definition AND bass freqs

Listen to that
