Plugin Boutique Release VirtualCZ

Plugin Boutique  have released VirtualCZ - a new plug-in inspired by an iconic series of digital synthesizers made in the 1980s.  

ABOUT THE SYNTH:

Many people fondly remember the CZ synths and they have become retro-classics that are highly sought after, having been used on countless techno, house, rave and synth-pop records in the late 80s and early 90s.

Many artists still use the CZ today for its unique sounds,includinggreat pads and synth strings, screaming leads, big basses, weird FX, metallic percussion and above all RAVE ORGANS.

Like many timeless synths, it has a unique sonic quality.

FOR THE FIRST TIME USER : FAITHFUL EMULATION, GREAT NEW SOUNDS

If you are new to the CZ you'll find that VirtualCZ delivers the same sound quality as its hardware predecessor, along with new features that bring its sound up to date.

- As with its hardware inspiration, VirtualCZ uses Phase Distortion, which is similar to FM  Synthesis but easier to program.
- Big stereo UNISON sounds (new feature!) - great for modernsynth stabs.
- Familiar ADSR envelopes (or switch to 8 Stage MSEG for the purists!)
- 200 quality presets featuring both retro and modern sounds. 

FOR THE EXPERIENCED CZ USER : GREAT NEW FEATURES AND A MODERN WORKFLOW

If you are familiar with the CZ synths, we think you will find VirtualCZ faithfully emulates the sound of the hardware in both sound and feel, also offering some great new features.

- VirtualCZ mirrors the synthesis architecture of the original.
- All key synthesis functions are on  the front panel, with graphic envelope displays - no more menus!
- It can load and transmit CZ patches (it functions as a sysex editor for the hardware).

VirtualCZ comes in VST2, VST3, Audio Unit and AAX plug-in formats plus Standalone app for Mac and PC.

It is available to purchase exclusively from Plugin Boutique for  $99 / £59.
