After 3 years of development, my ZEN-Core editor-librarians for Roland Fantom 6-7-8/06-07-08, AX-Edge and Jupiter-X/Xm are available, accompanied by a bank of 222 ZEN-Core sounds programmed with the editor and compatible with all Synths, Hardware and Virtual, pianos, GrooveBox, Wind Instruments and Guitar Synths compatible with this standard.
I had fun creating a video that imagines an unlikely flight from my home to the Enterprise where some of the occupants…, including Spock, started singing to the tune of my synths and sounds (isolated voices thanks to lalal.ai ).
A way, I hope fun, to “tell” the characteristics of the software and sounds in music.
You can find specifications, quick guides, manuals (Italian and English), sound demos, a Quick tour in English (thanks to Antonio Antetomaso) on my website page

Among the new features for ZEN-Core is the possibility of using this synthesis to create 4-voice melodic and rhythmic sequences, synchronized with the scene BPM thanks to the simultaneous use of 8 STEP-LFOs (2 per partial) and 128 overall steps.
With a lot of effort I managed to make the editor also available for MAC (it just requires a little more attention in the first run of the software) which works thanks to Rosetta also on M1 and M2.
Here is the video with a demonstration of a (small) part of the sounds.
I have given ample space to the ZEN-core tones which allow 4-voice melodic and rhythmic sequences (there is a template in the software to facilitate programming, also described in the manual) and to the 4-operator + shape FM sounds (Zen-Core incorporates an excellent linear FM motor).
The bank obviously also contains more “classic” sounds including around , pads, choirs, 30 Synth Basses etc.
In the video you will find sounds and sequences inspired by Jarre and Vangelis…Oxygene and SoilFestival…included!!
