ABOUT based on the first Oasys-concept the Z1 is made for Performance, the XY-Pad is a very cool live performance control. the multi synthesis nature (MOSS) of the "polyphonic Prophecy" (not patch compatible) provides combinations of: PM, ringmod, Xmod, Reso-filter-OSC,VPM (FM), subtractive, waveshape and Comb filter-noise. PM: Brass, Reed, Pluck, E-Piano, Bowed String
ABOUT Ein aus dem damaligen Oasys-Konzept entstandener Synthesizer mit MOSS , noch erweitert gegenüber dem Prophecy und polyphon (aber nicht Patch-kompatibel) bietet vierschiedene Syntheseformen: PM, Reso-OSC,VPM (FM),ringmod, waveshape, subtraktiv, und Kammfilter-Noise sowie Kombinationen. Dazu ist das XY-Pad auf einem Modrad ein exzellentes Steuerelement für Live-Aktionen. PM: Brass, Reed, Pluck, E-Piano, Orgel, Bowed
ABOUT
DETAILS very flexible Synth with lots of fast LFOs (60Hz max.) and ENVs and synthesis engines like 2 OP FM, comb filter morph from noise to a basic waveform, filter feedback, wave shaping on the oscs (by edge parameter) and pre-filter (clip and reso), physical models need both OSCs., the ribbon on the wheel is also touch sensitive. lots of modulation sources and destinations --- Reso OSC provides 5 resonating BPFs driven by Noise as Oszillator for Steel Drums and things like that. up to 4 BPFs are possible , since there is a special Dual-BPF mode per Filter.. more Phy. Models also, any Parameter can be modulated!
DETAILS sehr flexibler Synthesizer mit schnellen (60Hz max.) und vielen LFOs und ENVs und sehr vielen unterschiedlichen Modellen, 2 OP FM, Kammfilter noise-morph zwischen Rauschen und einer Wellfenform, Shaping und Formen der Wellenformen zwischen faktisch allen Wellenformen (edge und clip/reso shaper). Filterfeedback zum andicken. nur die phys. modelle brauchen beide OSCs. alles kann vielfältig moduliert werden! Der Reso-OSC bietet 5 Filter, die Steel-Drum-ähnliche Klänge möglich machen (5 resonierende BPFs), Die Filteranzahl ist normalerweise 2, man kann aber auf Dual BPF umschalten,um so bis zu 4 Filter zu bekommen.
DETAILS
SOUND very experimental comlex evolving Leads and Basses, strange and new sounds, some plastic shimmering also in it..
SOUND sehr experimentelles und modulationsreiches, Leads, Bässe und jeder noch so abgefahrene Klang, etwas plastikschimmer ist aber auch drin.
SOUND
VERSION 18 voice - expansion , digital out ADAT interface (only 2 out with/without FX no more)
VERSION 18 Stimmen Erweiterung, digital out (2 outs mit + ohne FX, leider nicht mehr)
