The Legend HZ by Synapse Audio now available!

[Teksonik]

I agree on the immediacy of Legend HZ vs Dune 3...
But to me the problem of the reasoning of Dune 3 vs Legend HZ is that if I start to really think about Dune 3, then I will pick Avenger 2 and call it a day.

I also own Avenger 2 and love it and it is no doubt far more feature rich than DUNE 3. Most of the things I love about Avenger I've requested for D3 but alas they don't follow the developer's vision for the synth or are not possible due to the core architecture (Multi Sample import, per layer Arps and FX. Split/Layer, etc).

But I still find D3's core sound to be superior. Not by a whole lot but enough for me to prefer it over Avenger.

I don't know what the special sauce is in D3's core sound and I won't even try to define it but to me, to my ears, it is glorious to the point that it makes D3 my favorite sounding synth even if its not my deepest and most capable synth.

Avenger 2 (and Parawave Rapid as well) layer really well with DUNE 3 and make for some monstrous and miles deep sounds. I've been layering D3 with Zebra HZ lately and that yields sounds that make my peanut brittle....


So now enough talk....I'm going to go play......

Yeah, indeed I see what you mean. That's why I bought dune 3 after demoing it even if I don't need it by any means...

If we are talking about secret sauce then we can't forget Spire.

I think that if I have spire, avenger 2 and dune 3 in a desert island.....
... Then I damn hope there is an outlet to plug my computer !

I'd be happy on a desert island with just JP6K. It's all the synth I need to keep making songs for the rest of my life.

Whaou, second time of the week I see a desirable VST only available in Windows..

Looking at how I don't like my macos only Moog VSTs it may impact my future laptop choice....

Yes, a kludge is always the best solution.

But I am not sure it is.
Reviews seems good.

Thanks for the pointer but it seems to be auv3 only. Not yet compatible with Bitwig unfortunately.

You don't need much to give it all up!

I don't care at all indeed. I am fluent on all ecosystems, and find none of them great, none of them bad.

What exactly is Hans Zimmer's personal 914 Fixed Filter Bank? How does it differ from a normal 914 Fixed Filter Bank? Is it a customized filter bank or did they just use his filter bank to model it in the computer? I can't find any information about it.

[Funkybot's Evil Twin]

or did they just use his filter bank to model it in the computer?

That's how I read it.

[seafire]

Be useful if we could save/load presets for the filterbank EQ

You're probably right.
