About Buzz Zone
Buzz Zone is an easy to use polyphonic synthesiser plugin with sophisticated wavetable and sample engines and a bank of flexible multi-segment envelopes to shape the sound in any direction you desire. Perfect for huge pads and soaring leads The synth has two engines that can be layered together for a range of complex sounds and textures. The 'Synth' engine is a great sounding wavetable oscillator with a unison function for buzzy, harmonically rich timbres, hence the name! The 'Sample' engine mixes in additional textures or attack samples over the sound. Buzz Zone has 6 sequencers, built for messing around with phrases, riffs, and ideas before locking things down: grab a few bars on a controller and drop them into a slot, scrub the playhead to audition the result before committing it, or trigger and transpose sequences live from a keyboard or pad controller. 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 • Six note sequencers, each with its own piano-roll MIDI editor and per-note expression editing • The Utility Strip, a modular workspace for building your own MIDI setups, arpeggiators, note repeaters, chord generators, LFOs, CC mappers, snapshot switchers, sequencer launchers and lots more, from a large factory library of Triggers and Panels • Snapshots, storing complete variations of a sound (parameters, envelope shapes and sequencer loop regions), with smooth morphing between them and up to 64 slots per preset • 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 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.
