Synapse The Legend HZ
Synthesizer Virtual Instrument
The Legend meets The Legend
Developed in collaboration with iconic and multiple-award-winning film composer Hans Zimmer, The Legend HZ builds on the legacy of its predecessor, The Legend.
The result of this collaborative effort is an analog modeled software synth which is uniquely positioned for use in modern film scoring and music production applications.
Most importantly, it retains this position while faithfully recreating the sonic characteristics of the original hardware.
Unprecedented Precision
The Legend HZ has been designed with great care and attention to detail, so that no opportunities were missed to create a software synth which is both highly usable and insanely versatile.
It is at heart the product of the combined knowledge of a genre-defining composer and Synapse Audio's experience emulating an industry-defining synthesizer.
Building on the success of The Legend, we've teamed up with Hans Zimmer to mark new ground in analog modeling synthesis.
Multiple features have been added to The Legend HZ that were previously unavailable with The Legend.
These include an additional three oscillators (and with them an added polyphony setting), a modulation matrix, a 32-step sequencer, an MSEG for added modulation controls, and an expanded effects section.
The Legend HZ even contains a fixed filter bank that was modeled after Hans Zimmer's personal Vintage 914 Fixed Filter Bank, an exceptional and rare piece of hardware.
Moreover, 200 factory presets developed jointly by expert sound designer Kevin Schroeder and Hans Zimmer have been added.
The factory soundbank gives anyone access to a wide range of cinematic-style sounds, while The Legend HZ itself provides access to some of the very tools used by them.
The Legend HZ is available in VST, AAX and Audio Unit formats, and supports MIDI Polyphonic Expression (MPE), as well as the Native Kontrol Standard (NKS).
