Did you download and install the Factory Presest folder? It's a separate download that will increase the total number of presets by several hundred.

I really just have so many options at this point that I get lazy about checking out things, especially subtractive synthesizers.
Should be any day now We had a lot of emails to answer since launch, so excuse the small delay.

Hey there. I'll definitely check out the demo when it becomes available. Does the legend Hz support MTS ESP? Quick googling says that dune supports it but the legend doesn't. I figured with a big update/ modification this is the kind of thing that could be added. Figured I'd ask you since you're around here.

Does it include that skin, or is that something you put together yourself?

Just a negative of the background bmp.

Seems you can edit most of the stuff tho, might give it a go one day.

I wonder if BigTone Studios had anything to do with this version? I know they did for the original version.

Remember you have Genetics which is basically like having multiple sound designers in the plugin itself, as it will create presets for you, or at the very least give you starting points.
It’s great and a lot of fun to use. With 6 Oscillators now, and all of the new features included in this update, it’s very powerful now.

Did you download the original Legend presets from your Downloads area? Plus the free Modern Vintage presets (I think that’s what it’s called). Lots of good stuff there.

So you have nothing, no facts to support your absolutely ridiculous comment. What a surprise.

The manual seems to infer that it does, but I’ve watched a few snippets of YouTube vids and the “Arps” all seem to look and sound like one-note-wonders played by a step sequencer.

Basically, if you leave the sequencer blank, it works like an arpeggiator. It only turns into a sequencer when you start entering pitch offsets into it. Simple and effective.

I'm not aware that HZ has any interest in doing anything else and, AFAIK, this sort of started with him.

I am more an Oberheim guy than Moog. Sorry for the blasphemy.

That's not blasphemy, that's just common sense.

Oh, I didn't know that.
While having HZ featured for this synth is cool, I don't really care he he. Maybe we can hope that the update will be successful and it will encourage Richard on this path.

I gotta say, when I got my hands on the first beta, I thought the new additions were a bit crazy but you can't argue with the results. Maybe Rich took the opportunity to tweak the sound but, if so, he hasn't mentioned it. It seems the improvement in sound quality has mostly just come from the extra oscillators. That's possibly an intuitive leap someone with HZ's experience was able to make that the rest of us mere mortals couldn't possibly hope to.

Yes fully agree, the way the oscillators interact with each others coming to the filter is just working well. It is so easy and playful... I tried to reproduce this in Phase Plant but couldn't. It doesn't work as well. Even when adding a bit of slow subtle chaos on the fine pitch and phase of each of the oscillators... It doesn't sound bad. But it sound... As expected.
Like you, I am surprised by the "touch" the sound can get just mixing a bit more oscillators in Legend HZ. A true good surprise.

If you mean Modern Analog, it is a commercial soundset, it's not free.

Oops, yeah. I forgot about that.

Why not keep the original Legend for sale for people that just want the simple but good sounding Moog vibe at half the price??

The Legend HZ by Synapse Audio now available!
