ZEPHYRUSis a
hybrid synthesizer
that combines an analog synthesis
engine and soundfont oscillator to
produce complex
pads and background sounds.
The
Fusion of Synthesis, Sampling and Effects...
Features
Soundfont
Oscillator:
The SFO Uses the raw samples in a soundfont file (*.SF2) as waveforms.
Samples can be arranged into Banks, Patches, Key and Velocity
zones.
2
Digitally Controlled Oscillator - DCO - with 3 selectable waveforms (Saw,
Triangle, Pulse) have knobs to control the octave (4' 8' 16') , and
interval.
2
Digitally Controlled Filter - DCF - A) with control over cutoff, contour
amount, FM mod and emphasis. B) with control over ADSR
envelope generator (Attack,
Decay, Sustain, Release).
1
Mixer, controlling oscillators
A & B,
master volume, Filter mod and Tracking rate.
LFO (Low Frequency Oscillator) with 2
selectable waveforms (Triangle & Pulse)
Loudness Contour with control over ADSR
(Attack, Decay, Sustain, Release).
Distortion
Unit (Waveshaper):
A wave distortion effect which maps input to output values using
flexible spline-based graph. Distorts the input depending on a
transfer function you draw by dragging the control points with your
mouse.
PORTAMENTO/GLIDE
control: affects pitch transitions. A gliding effect that allows a
sound to change pitch at a gradual rate, rather than abruptly, when a new
key is pressed or MIDI note sent. When turned to the far left, there
are no pitch transitions - new notes immediately play at their
"correct" pitch. If turned to the right, the glide time increases
- new notes are triggered at the pitch of the previous note, and then
gradually glide to the pitch of the played note, quickly or slowly,
depending on the setting of this knob.
Delay
Effect Built-in: with Modulation
(Varies the delay time dynamically- 0 to 10V ) and Amount of Feedback
controls.
On-screen MIDI
keyboard that can be played with the mouse, or keyboard (Q is
Middle-C, Z two Octaves lower) The 'T' on the left of the keyboard sets Toggle
Mode where each key stays held until you click it a second time.
Includes 32
internal presets and display "preset name" (Pre-programmed
sounds)
Possibility of turn the synth into Mono Mode
and Retrigger
switch.
Hint
Property: Tool tip when the mouse is over a control. You can mouse over any of the controls anywhere in
Zephyrus and this will display a short description of what that control does.
One-panel Graphical User Interface

MIDI Automation: Complete
MIDI Continuous Controller

parameters for use with external hardware control). The following 23 MIDI
CC messages are recognized and affect the described parameters:
