The Legend HZ Preset Demo

[@DanaVastman]

Kevin Schroeder is the real genius here. He creates some of the most amazing sounds on a variety of platforms. Give him his due... He's earned it and deserves it

[@screendrem]

A few of these are the best presets I've herd from any software ever.

[@Taylor370z]

That Interstellar preset is almost unbelievable it's coming out of one synth let alone one patch.

[@AviroMusic]

Some of the best presets I've ever heard!

[@motherbinary7402]

But these incredible toys,your composition skills are enhanced to an unbelievable level combined with the talent and genius, i’ve always been gravitating towards soundtracks and the incredible composers that do them. This is one of the best.

[@jetlag_beats]

I've always been a fan of The Legend's sound, since I got me one a couple of years ago. It's amazing to hear how much now has been added into this new Hanz Zimmer version. AMAZING!

Got it today. Oh Lord what a deep and fantastic sounding synth. Thank you for this beauty❤

[@RomanZocKt92]

I don't even use other synthesizers anymore because you can create every sound yourself and the quality is still there. A must for anyone who makes music

[@mistral-unizion-music]

[@ProdByThatGuyFace]

Omg 😳 The Legend is already my fav Moog plugin and now we add HZ to the equation!!! And you take it a step further and model his personal Moog?! Smh this is insane!!! 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥

[@RJ1J]

That's a bit of an exaggeration. Have you ever heard the Model 72 by Softube, sounds more like a Minimoog than this. Or how about the Roland SE - 02 module, that sounds sick and this is half the price of that hardware. This sounds good for its non Mini sounds. The Zimmer sounds. They're ok, but you can hear the digital sheen. I liked the Interstellar and Dark Master patches. Classic Zimmer sounds that are already on the Zebra HZ though. If you're new to his digital sound creation world, welcome!

[@diegoalejo15]

@@RJ1J I´ve seen videos comparing to a real Minimoog (cause I don´t own one) and haven´t heard a better moog emulation than The Legend.

[@RJ1J]

@@diegoalejo15 The oscillators are good, but the filter isn't close to UAD's.

[@Magnus_Loov]

@@RJ1J I have seen Starsky Carr doing comparisons between the Legend and Softubes Model 72 and they are more or less the same. And he is the detailed oriented guy using the oscilloscopes and all and that really dives deep into all the components. What some comparisons can fail upon is if using the early or late revision that is modelled in the Legend. They will make the Legend differ from Model 72 if the "wrong one" is chosen Both are equally good with the added benefit of the modular system for the Model 72 BUT with the added bonus of more extra tweaking "Under the hood" and effects for the Legend. And, of course, polyphony and unison. So for me it is a no brainer to choose the Legend. That is, if you are not really into the modular "free" extras you get from Softube. (Which could be cool). What is interesting to note is that none of the Moog emulations, not even the hardware Behringer Model D, can do the saturation/overdrive nowhere near as good as in the original Moog Model D. They are not even close!

[@gabrielegelfofx]

Just purchased (upgraded). It's a masterpiece, probably the best analog emulation in my vst arsenal. I'd like to have individual fm modulation for all oscillators with linear/exponential option.

[@TheoShahh]

You should make a video about sound design on this. Bought this yesterday, but I have absolutely no idea what a “filter bank” is, and have no idea of the scope of this thing. Even without having a good idea of how to use this to it’s completely full capacity, my sounds with it are still the best I’ve ever made! Great synth!

[@marcom.]

"In signal processing, a filter bank (or filterbank) is an array of bandpass filters that separates the input signal into multiple components, each one carrying a sub-band of the original signal."

[@TheoShahh]

@@marcom. that tells me absolutely nothing.. it’s a paralleled version of the sound that has been bandpassed?

[@Magnus_Loov]

@@TheoShahh Think of it as a really powerful EQ where you can "Tune" and tweak each band very hard (and dynamically automated). That is, if you turn down all of the EQ bands you get no sound at all. Or, another extreme, if you turn down all the EQ:s except one band you will only hear that band. Then in turn all of this can be automated. That is, you can modulate all of these knobs in that filter bank just like you do with your normal lowpass filter with, for an example, an envelope generator or an LFO. You get the "normal synthesizer control" of specific combos of frequency ranges! Very cool!

[@TheoShahh]

@@Magnus_Loov thanks dude!

[@HOLLASOUNDS]

Impressive some of the sounds I haven't heard before and some I have, like the first preset in this video however maybe that was also Made by HZ in the past, for other brands. A bit like Roland presets that are the same exact sound on Novation, Reason Studios, Arturia, Native instruments I have found the same exact sounding Preset.

As far as I understood this Synth should be NKS-compatible. Looking at the keyboard screen it seems there is no parameter mapping as the keyboard uses a default Midi template only. Will this be added or did I get something wrong here? Beside of that this is one of the best sounding Synth-plugins ever. Fantastic sound!

[@synapseaudio2488]

It does have NKS mapping. It is just that this demo was done inside Cubase, i.e. not in Maschine or Komplete Kontrol.

Yes you keep the original Legend, it is a separate plug-in. The Legend HZ can open patches from the legacy Legend, however.

[@BRIGGS2710]

@@RJ1J the difference is not worth the hassle, in my case. I'm sure the purdy $3k moog, looks nice though.

[@NatLifeSounds]

In some case yeah, but in some not. Every instrument have own character of sound. I love hardware analog synths and I never selling analog(unlike digital iron synthesizers), even if such companies like Synapse Audio can clone it maximum close, I still feel this very small difference or it's just my own) but it will not make people sell their synth treasures in most cases. In any case, The Legend HZ seems to be an outstanding synthesizer and I would eagerly start doing sound design on it😊

[@RJ1J]

@@NatLifeSounds I know what you mean. But there are certain sounds that cannot be recreated in software. I'm talking about extreme sounds, and filters especially, but that could be something like a really low bass note.The deep buzz from say Moog hardware, say a Grandmother or Sub 25 sounds amazing, and different every time. This is where analogue almost always beats plug-ins, at the extremes, which is where we want to go often times Of course, you get people that say 90% of people can't tell the difference. But it's when you add it all up. If you're running a dozen soft synths, or you're running 12 tracks of analogue, it makes a major difference to the depth and character to the combined sound. Because the digital replicates the same sound every time, whilst the analogue does not. So those are the three reasons why it's worth the hassle to have at least three pieces of analogue gear, the nonlinearity, the analogue filters and the combination of many analogue tracks at once. I get desktop versions, no big deal on space. And in many cases I can run plugins to operate the hardware. I could put them under my desk if I want to. This is true for several Moog synths, which have excellent free editors.
