Hans Zimmer presents THE LEGEND HZ Synthesizer

Available at: www.synapse-audio.com/thelege...
Out now! Here is "THE LEGEND HZ" by Synapse Audio Software.com
A collaboration between Hans Zimmer, Kevin Schroeder and Synapse Audio.
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.

Das ist Hans Zimmer

[@casproductions1978]

Well this is Hans Zimmer .. this guy is in large part why every motion picture he scores are so epic. Best composer for hollywood ever

[@TurboLoveTrain]

@@casproductions1978 he may be an amazing composer but he over paid for his audio setup. I put A/V equipment on Oprah Winfrey, Michal Dell and George Lucas's private jets. Oprah has a Global 500, Michal Dell has several Global 500's and George Lucas uses a Boeing 727. I was also the guy that got Rockwell Collins to push through the FAA to let people use Cellphones on airplanes--the FAA allowed it because billionaires wanted to use their cell phones to control the TV in their 70 million dollar private jets. Not even kidding. The point is you don't need a 100k to make synth music this good--you need like 700 usd.

[@user-he1md5zo6i]

@@TurboLoveTrain wow, amen

[@pilluritari]

@@TurboLoveTrain "he over paid for his audio setup" is such a dumb statement. You really don't need any money at all to make good music by using free synths. But the point is that you don't (or do you?) really know the reasoning for all those equipment and how much he even spent his own money on them. Maybe its just his hobby and he wants physically tweak all the knobs and stuff. Or maybe some specific movie project(s) needed some sounds and the fastest way to accomplish it was to get those.

Would love to listen to that room, probably one of the best sound rooms in the country

[@user-ev9kh7mt7q]

[@RNLafferty]

I mean, acoustics-wise, it's probably standard-fair. But definitely not top in the country level, and almost certainly not the world. Think about it! Those computer monitors on their own could compromise the sound. The best sounding rooms are likely mastering stations.

[@enneff]

No doubt it has a great system but with all those flat surfaces there'd be tons of reflections that cause weird resonances. It's a writing room not a listening room.

Bought this yesterday after watching this and the preset runthrough. This is by far the most full, warm, and robust sounding software synth I have heard. I get really good sounds out of many of the VSTs and even digital hardware synths that I own, but this thing... it's otherworldly. I've been trying to get my hands on a Moog Voyager (Electric Blue!) for some time now but haven't had the budget (or the space) for one. This will absolutely satisfy that itch for now, and then some. BRAVO to all who hands on its creation.

[@patzumbrunn]

For someone who only uploads videos and doesn't show any creativity themselves, you should know that plugins or devices don't prove that you have ideas. the composition is important. Imagine, in the 80s many had the same synthesizers, DX7, Roland D50, the sampler EMU II that the big ones used. and: did they all sound the same? no. Creativity was required. but maybe I misunderstood you. you mean, I shouldn't buy the one that x can afford. I create my visions of my sound. tha'ts what I meant. nice day

Ich verwende auch U-he ZebraHZ und klinge immer noch wie ich. Das Gleiche gilt für Hive 2 und Korg Modwave & Wavestate usw. usw. Alles fantastische Audio-Tools. Wenn ich jedoch das nächste Mal einen Moog-Sound benötige, werde ich diesen VSTi von Synapse verwenden. Und irgendwann werde ich auch den Dune 3 VSTi zu meinem Werkzeugkasten hinzufügen. Ich freue mich auch darauf, den Film Dune-2 anzuschauen, wenn ich etwas Zeit habe. Dune-1 hatte einen großartigen Soundtrack. Ehrlich gesagt - so viele Dünen.

Secret technique of advanced sound-masters: the more weird blinking devices and wires in the studio - the better and more authentic the sound!

[@thesoundsmith]

Keep them running and they will remain in tune, ready for use. It may _look_ like a spaghetti farm, but it's a _system._ BTW, listening to his massive monitors on a 1" computer pair just makes the experience _so_ accurate, it's like I'm in the same room - that I'm in right now... If you can, pipe it though the best speakers you have (even then it's bandwidth-limited...)

[@JourneyMusicProject]

@@thesoundsmith I am a supporter of minimalism and functionality. If it's possible to replace the device with a VSTi - I will do so, and if it's not possible - I will find an alternative. In fact, it's just a matter of taste and necessity.

It's great to see someone known for arrangement of more classically influenced scores to have the breadth of sound to extend into synth in this way. Of course it is no surprise that he is such a versatile musician.

[@THAMNOS]

He literally doesn't have 'classically influenced scores'. He always experiments with unusual soundscapes and made-up instruments. I think you may confuse him with John Williams

[@WatchRayPlay]

@@THAMNOS I mean yes the sounds incorporate lots of modern elements, his work with Guthrie Govan is my favorite- but I guess I refer to his live performances like Live in Prague, as the Hans Zimmer Orchestra. And yes other modern composers in the genre are more straightforward classical, like Harry Gregson Williams. Yeah I guess I was inebriated and imprecise- lots of music is classically influenced? kzbin.info/www/bejne/rJKUoJyln9N6qKM kzbin.info/www/bejne/oV6nqJx8YqaSj68

Yea. I do not understand what they were thinking. I have a grand piano and am an experienced players but I could almost not press the white keys while playing darker sections. Yes the 61 has much nicer keys. Be real careful when upgrading the firmware. I also got a Kawai Novus NV 5S which just has an incredible S88 keyboard. I also recommend a Faderfox UC4 or MX12 for more knobs if you need those.
