Carin Zodiac

 

 

The Cairn Zodiac-6 is a virtual analog synthesizer that can be used in any Windows host program supporting the Steinberg VSTi protocol for software instruments.

The basic design idea was to provide a classic analog subtractive synthesizer interface combined with a host of modulation options that are immediately accessible as well as easy to understand. (It really thrives when used with keyboard controllers sporting velocity sensitivity and channel aftertouch.)

Features:

6 voice poly / mono synth.
2 oscillators / voice (4 in FAT mode).
2 VCOs: 5 waveforms + 2 types of noise, FM, Ring modulation.
1 VCA: ADSR envelope with keyboard rate scaling.
1 VCF: 5 filter types with ADSR envelope and keyboard rate scaling, acting on both cutoff and resonance.
2 LFOs with DADSR envelope, S&H mode and host tempo sync. Each LFO can also act as a noise generator or spare envelope.
Modulation sources include Keyboard velocity / Channel aftertouch / Keyboard pitch / Modwheel / LFOs.
Mix all available mod sources for all available destinations any way you like using mixer-style faders. No cumbersome modulation matrices or mod destination switches.
Extra "aftertouch modwheel" in the GUI for the aftertouch-deprived.
Built-in delay with host tempo sync.
65 presets and 24 page printable manual included.
