The LEGEND HZ // His Cinematic Massive Modular Sounds.. Made Easy

/ starskycarr
A walkthrough of the LEGEND HZ from Synapse Audio. It sounds great and has some lovely presets that demo some lovely Hans Zimmer cinematic effects.. check them out at @10:43 which led me to realise the unique aspect of this is the amount of access the modulation matrix give you to all the parameters.
If this was sold as a virtual modular system there would be patch points and cables all over the place.. and an awful lot of confusion! But it somehow gets the flexibility without the complexity. Having even the effects and filter bank parameters as modulation destinations really opens things up.
You can go from super simple to suyper complex in minutes. The MSEG envelopes/LFOs are so easy to use but really drive you into sound design and experimentation.

One of the best sounding VSTs around. The update adds a great deal of modulation options and the filter bank is a nice addition. Not to keen on the FX, but they're not terrible...but the raw sound of this is...hard to believe these tones come from a plug in, but they do.

[@RJ1J]

I gave this a really good demo. Amazing presets. This isn't really a Minimoog clone anymore. It's a sound design machine.The feedback barely does anything, and there is some overall distortion around 1.5khz when using 4 or more oscillators. So when 6 oscillators are going through the filter with a tone of effects, I heard digital distortion and aliasing. Overpowered machine going through the old filter? Basically stick to the presets and don't touch the filter unless going down. Hope that gets improved, or there is oversampling (RIP CPU).

[@chocomalk]

The feedback is kind of reliant on the rest of the patch, especially resonance. It can get pretty over the top actually.

[@chocomalk]

This thing is a beast. Surface level is quite simple but it can go really deep. And the bass is unreal.

[@k8923]

Excellent tour, thanks! I had access to a Moog System 55 back in the day (early 70's) and could get lost for hours just creating sound. This looks to be pretty similar in function. Except for the cables, of course.

[@RemixSample]

Such a cool update to the original Legend. This sounds amazing!

[@jacey714]

Got this as soon as it came out. It sounds smooth and the low end is amazing.

[@itinerantghost]

Yep, instabuy here as well, I've been messing around with it ever since. Really appreciate your video breaking stuff down while playing with it, as it gave me a lot of ideas!

[@elretsof1606]

Yes I too bought this as soon as it landed and it's a proper beast for a VST . Very impressive

[@blaueswunder]

Thank you for your video. Enjoyed it. I demoed it today and i totally love its sound. When the effects are turned of its wonderful raw

[@defrigge]

Thanks very much, always enjoy your synth skills and comments! Got the LegendHZ as Upgrade a few days ago and have a lot of fun with it...

[@StarskyCarr]

Thanks.. it's nice isnt it?

[@NatLifeSounds]

This is so awaited update, finally we have a proper modulation matrix, and wow +3 OSC's?) but I’m not surprised, because this is a Synapse Audio with its 1000 oscillators in Dune😎

[@Phileosophos]

Thank you for making this video. I was leaning toward buying this, and your video definitely put it over the top for me.

[@marsmediapro]

Sounds Fantastic! Thanks for sharing!

[@RedCloudServices]

I love your channel mate 🙌🏼

[@BihlerOfficial]

wow dude those cinematic sounds are epic

[@Swiftopher755]

Sounds beautiful! So much fot techno type of stuff! Hope its got a demo !

[@Swiftopher755]

Oh just noticed they have dune 3 too, do you have a preference over dune and this?

[@andreasoberg2021]

This was really fantastic. I just got a Faderfox PC12 that has about 80 knobs. Seems like a good companion

[@neuronist]

i also ordered minutes after i found out as I had the previous version anyway and it is an amazing update, loving it!

[@loweroctaves]

Thanks for the 411, definitely picking this up now. Sounds lovely.🔊✨✨✨✨

[@David3Wise]

Some excellent presets.

[@scratchanitch]

Starsky: whack the resonance up... Ears: wow... Wallet: oh no...

[@AndyGrayedout]

How's the CPU load ? sounds amazing thx for the Demo man!

[@amazeus1980]

Moog Minimoog and Modular and Arp 2600 are first synths that I was exploring and learning (well Arturia emulations). Because of those synths I know how to programm synths. Anyway...legend sounds quite nice! ...overdrive is still not convincing me entirely but doesn't sound bad at all.

[@DeadManWalking4574]

9:10 On the big modular moog you cant modulate the bands on the fixed filter bank.

[@qrdnk]

I´m glad his mother language is the same as mine so I can understand exactly what he´s saying when he talks German.

[@watchaddicts1213]

Don’t forget the BEST MINI: MINIMONSTA 2 GForce RULES

[@StarskyCarr]

I’ve not tried minimonsta 2 - although I’ve got the force stuff and it’s stunning.

[@watchaddicts1213]

I’ll grab it on sasle…soon, I own all their Orher products. Their first stab at the mini (no pun) was…well, I had a hard time making it sound beautiful. This new one is Cat’s Meow, despite he fact I’m very Married to Minimonsta 2 (and faithful, mostly. I’m a fallen human, so, yeah, I’ll cheat with this tart.

[@Waldemar_la_Tendresse]

This is software that will go the way of all software: in a few years it will probably no longer work. THANK YOU!

[@vimfuego8827]

Firstly, the Legend was a minimoog emulation and still hold the top spot, save Softube 72. Secondly, the Legend HZ is not a minimoog emulation, it's a different animal completely. It's like comparing a Roland D50 with a D70 , it's D70 not a D50. Having said that, the 'Legend HZ' is just an incredible synth and it doesn't really have to be an emulation of anything, it's just incredible for a measly £180. Just a fantastic musical instrument.

[@djrohannnunez]

This Sounds Fat 🚀

[@StarskyCarr]

It's wonderful.

[@fattyboombatty7736]

If only I could bare to look at a computer screen, after a day of working with them....

[@user-fe8zd5of8y]

I own all SYNAPSE products EXCEPT Legend. LHZ sounds great....and I'll probably buy the dmaned thing. But...to me, I quickly default to Minimonsta2 and WAKEMAN. My p[roblem: I always go for the sounds Rick Wakeman produced, so...when I think of VINTAGE MINI, I alrways hear his sounds in my head. I own OBSESSION , buy I see why Tom O. signed off on what Dave Spiers. Same with GForce--I own 'em ALL...except for the BOSA NOVA MELLATRON ...the Moody double keyboard one. So, I own 'em all on both sides! Sounds like everybody wins, huh?

[@RealityShiftUK]

It’s. Not too expensive and doesn’t take up space so I’ll think I’ll get it

[@Noiretranquility]

Sounds really nice but not $180 dlls nice, is a VST FFS!

[@x-dsemusica.a8750]

Diva killer

[@jaskbeak4830]

never

[@x-dsemusica.a8750]

@@jaskbeak4830 for me sounds much better most deep and best modulation and best effects

[@petermgruhn]

Came for the clickbait thumbnail. Left very soon thereafter.

[@StarskyCarr]

Hmmm the synth is called The Legend HZ … he himself had input into it to reflect his massive modular… and make using it easy. I demo the cinematic tones he’s made for it.. based on some of the sounds in his movies. Not sure where the clickbait is exactly 🤷‍♂️.. or did you think it was going to show you how to become Hans Zimmer. Odd.

[@falangistavaleroso9689]

More vst crap, sorry mate.
