A synth plug-in just crammed 18 sampled hardware synths into one collection. Zensphere v2, Rapid Flow's hardware-emulation synth, adds an impulse-response reverb engine, fresh side-chaining, and a chorus lifted from a beloved Roland Juno. It hauls in a big pile of mix-ready presets chasing authentic analogue warmth.
The sampling process is no joke. Every note got recorded individually across each instrument's full range, with zero pitch-stretching and no software processing beyond some limiting. The analogue side did the heavy lifting instead, tracking through 16 high-end processors from brands like Rupert Neve Designs, Studer, SSL, and API.
The new stuff breaks down like this. The IR reverb engine packs 12 impulse responses, spanning tight rooms to cavernous 40-plus-second spaces. The chorus borrows the Juno circuit's movement and stereo width. A built-in side-chain engine handles mod-wheel-mapped ducking, locked to DAW tempo, with no external plug-ins needed.
It runs on Windows 10 or later and macOS, shipping in VST3, AU, and AAX. Grab it at an intro price of €125, down from €199.
