Show and tell video of ‘VirtualCZ’ - a phase distortion synth instrument from Plugin Boutique, with producer Rob Talbott.

About The VirtualCZ Synth

VirtualCZ - is a new plug-in inspired by an iconic series of digital synthesisers made in the 1980s.  VirtualCZ uses Phase Distortion - which is similar to FM Synthesis but easier to program!It can make great pads, leads, bass, percussion and RAVE ORGAN sounds that will fit into a wide variety of genres.

The synthesis engine of the original hardware is modelled in the plug-in which can load and transmit CZ SYSEX patches, but the plug-in goes beyond the hardware to offer new sound possibilities and usability features. It’s much more fun to edit, since all the important synthesis parameters have their own control. It includes things not found on the originals such as switchable envelope generators (ADSR or 8-Stage MSEG) and Unison modes.

VirtualCZ comes in VST2, VST3, Audiounit and AAX plug-in formats plus as a Standalone app for Mac and PC. It is available to purchase exclusively from http://www.pluginboutique.com for an introductory price of £59-95.
