Indeed that's exactly what ZeroBox is : the original (1982 bassline) analogue electronics components are preserved, but there're several extensions, mods and circuit bents which make ZeroBox different and unique.VELLTONE MUSIC wrote: ↑Fri Jan 21, 2022 11:32 am Sounds interesting,please don't do another emulation.
Make it original and fresh,so to explore it.

Here's the full parameters list for the Clock, Sequencer and Scenes section :
Note about the CLOCK TEMPO EXT parameter (below) :
By default, the parameter CLOCK TEMPO EXT is set to [OFF] (= internal clock source is active).
If you want to sync ZeroBox with your DAW/Host master tempo, be sure to set CLOCK TEMPO EXT to [ON].
CLOCK TEMPO EXT is not preset-dependent, so it has just to be set to [ON] or [OFF] once (per instance).
CLOCK MODE [NORMAL...TRIPLET] : Set the clock generator operative mode.
CLOCK BEAT [16th...8th] : Set the clock generator beat division mode.
CLOCK SWING [OFF...MAX] : Set the clock generator swing amount.
CLOCK TEMPO [40Bpm...200Bpm] : Set the clock generator internal tempo.
CLOCK TEMPO EXT [OFF...ON] : Override the clock generator internal tempo and sync to the external DAW / Host tempo.
SEQUENCER MODE [OFF...PTC...KTG] : Select the sequencer operative mode. When set to OFF (sequencer disabled), Zerobox is controlled by incoming MIDI messages as a standard MIDI-controlled synthesizer (when this mode is selected : MIDI velocity values from 100 to 109 will activate the slide function, MIDI velocity values from 110 to 119 will activate the accent function, MIDI velocity values from 120 to 127 will activate both the slide and accent functions). When set to PTC, the sequencer "pitched" mode is enabled (different keys alter the pitch of a sequence/pattern). When set to KTG, the sequencer "keytrig" mode is enabled (different keys control up to 8 different scenes/patterns).
SEQUENCER KTG SET [C4-G4...C5-G5...C6-G6] : Select the operative octave for the keytrig mode. For example, when the C4-G4 set is selected, scenes/patterns from A to H are assigned to keys from C4 to G4.
SEQUENCER STEPS [1...16] : Set the sequencer/pattern steps number.
MIDI CHAN [1...16] : Set the MIDI input channel.
SCENE [A...H] : Select one of the eight scenes available (A...H) per preset. It is possible to real time switch and reorder multiple scenes and play complex, multi-pattern sequences. When SEQUENCER MODE is set to OFF or PTC, the scene selection is performed by the MIDI CC#01 (mod wheel) control. When SEQUENCER MODE is set to KTG, the scene selection is performed by the KTG keys (see SEQUENCER KTG SET). A single scene loads and stores the value of each of the following parameters :
WAVE
WAVE MOD
SHAPE
SHAPE MOD
TUNE
CUTOFF
CUTOFF MOD
RESO
ENV MOD
DECAY
ACCENT
LFO RATE
CLOCK MODE
CLOCK BEAT
CLOCK SWING
SEQUENCER STEPS
SEQUENCER NOTE GATE 1...16
SEQUENCER NOTE PITCH 1...16
SEQUENCER NOTE OCTAVE 1...16
SEQUENCER NOTE SLIDE 1...16
SEQUENCER NOTE ACCENT 1...16
SCENE LOAD : Load a scene (from file) to the currently selected scene slot (A...H).
SCENE SAVE : Save the currently selected scene (A...H) on file.
Note about the CLOCK TEMPO EXT parameter (below) :
By default, the parameter CLOCK TEMPO EXT is set to [OFF] (= internal clock source is active).

When set to PTC, the sequencer "pitched" mode is enabled (different keys alter the pitch of a sequence/pattern). When set to KTG, the sequencer "keytrig" mode is enabled (different keys control up to 8 different scenes/patterns).
SEQUENCER KTG SET [C4-G4...C5-G5...C6-G6] : Select the operative octave for the keytrig mode. For example, when the C4-G4 set is selected, scenes/patterns from A to H are assigned to keys from C4 to G4.

The AudioDemo on Soundcloud is great. I'd love to hear the part between 00:49 and 00:55 without distortion and delay for investigating the accent which is the "weak spot" of any emulation. Mingled within distortion and with delay the accent of ZeroBox sounds really promising.

So when can we expect this to be released?
System compatibility?
Plug-in formats?
Which OS?
Apple silicone M1 native?
Cost?

Demo sounds good!
Will you provide a randomize function?

@RPH :
Hi,
a "randomize" function will not be present on the software itself - at least at now - because this feature does not make too much sense to me.(*)
Maybe it will be added later or added "externally" with an online app, as it happens for LittleOne and ResonHeart :
https://www.xhun-audio.com/site/xhun.ph ... _generator
(access is free and granted to anyone without any kind of registration)
(*) Note :
A full "randomize" function does not make too much sense to me because :
1- the bassline synthesis engine doesn't have too many parameters (as you can see from the images) and many of them are "born to be tweaked" in realtime during performances, as it happens with the original hardware.
2- on the "computer controlled" sequencer side, randomizing the sequencer steps "pitch" wouldn't lead to interesting results (the resulting pattern would have an "out of tune", unuseful pitch on a vast number of cases).
3- if the "randomize" feature would affect just a pattern "slide", "accent", and "octave" parameters, that would be realistically useful indeed. But, since the parameters involved are just three (3) per step, they could be easily "randomized" by hand.

- The Product Walkthrough Part 3 -
This part is quite self-explanatory...
ZeroBox includes a 16-steps Sequencer with Gate, Note, Octave, Slide and Accent controls (per step).
Compared to the original hardware device, ZeroBox features a fully refreshed pattern editor front-end while preserving the same back-end (clock generator pulse sub-division, etc.) logic and timing.
SEQUENCER NOTE GATE 1...16 [OFF...ON] : Enable or disable the gate control for each step of the pattern.
SEQUENCER NOTE PITCH 1...16 [-12semi...+12semi] : Set the note pitch for each step of the pattern.
SEQUENCER NOTE OCTAVE 1...16 [-1oct...+1oct] : Set the note pitch octave for each step of the pattern. When the led light is off, the pitch is not affected. An orange led light sets the pitch 1 octave lower, a green led light sets the pitch 1 octave higher.
SEQUENCER NOTE SLIDE 1...16 [OFF...ON] : Enable or disable the note slide / portamento for each step of the pattern.
SEQUENCER NOTE ACCENT 1...16 [OFF...ON] : Enable or disable the note accent for each step of the pattern.

I’ll pass if it does.
Btw; I see what you’re trying to achieve here - building up the expectations and create the interest in your app that will need to compete with well established rather brilliant plugs that are already available.
If you are really serious about your project and get some cash flowing, you’ll need to give potential buyers a little more - proper/actual image of the plug, M1 NATIVE compatibility (not Rosetta), Vst 3 and much more…
As it is, current market is saturated with rather excellent emulation apps already.
Good luck and I wish you well with your project
