How do you improve on a synth classic? ‘Get Hans Zimmer involved’ would seem to be Synapse Audio's answer to that, as it recently confirmed that the supreme cinematic composer has helped it to create The Legend HZ, a supercharged version of the company's already excellent software Minimoog emulation.
This fresh take on Bob Moog’s iconic synth is said to be “uniquely positioned for use in modern film scoring and music production applications”. It’s a bigger beast than the standard version of The Legend in several respects: there are an additional three oscillators, bringing the total to six; a new polyphony setting; a modulation matrix; a 32-step sequencer; an MSEG for additional modulation controls; and an expanded effects section.
