I downloaded the demo and played around a bit: an interesting synth.
Does anyone have experience yet ? What about CPU ?
Aliasing ? Any test ? Did someone made a song with it ?

Experience ?

What are you doing with that synth ? (Pads, basses, Arp..)

I use z3ta+ for "big" sounds. I have one song on the net that uses three instances called "Ambient 1" at http://mp3.com/satinover. It's kind of experimental and mostly a drone, a lead and a pad.

It is capable of really wild FX, has a ton of LFO and filter options, six oscillators, waveshaping, good effects although z3ta+ sounds just fine without the effects.

It's particularly nice for realtime control with the X/Y pad and being able to significanly change waveforms by drawing or using sliders in the waveshaping window. Keep in mind up to six custom waveforms can be used per patch either combined, mapped across the keyboard, velocity switched or a combination of both.

I use it mostly for pads, BPM type FX, leads and basses - in that order. It does all of them exceptionally well but that's to my ears. You'll need to try it out to see if it's sound appeals to you. It is a complex synth but using the X/Y and waveshaping controls changes things significantly. Also, the matrix is highly programmable.
