Getting Started

I am often talking about the power of Z3TA+ and now I will illustrate that power. In this short tutorial, you will create a powerful Trance lead using only 1 oscillator and still get the device to sound unbelievably fat and loud.

1. Start the Z3TA+ program.

2. Left Click the Program Button in the Master Section and select Initialize from the menu.

Now you have an ‘initial patch’ for Z3TA+. This is a starting point for programming the synth.

I assume you have a MIDI keyboard hooked up to Z3TA+. Playing notes on the keyboard will have no effect yet, because all oscillators are currently off.

3. Left Click Twice in the Render Field and set Render to High.

With this setting Z3TA+’s audio output will render at a much higher rate, resulting in better quality.

4. Left Click Nine Times in the Poly Field, setting the synths Polyphony to 24.

This increases the number of notes Z3TA+ can play at any one time to twenty-four.

5. Left Click the Limiter Button to turn on Z3TA+’s Master Limiter.

The Master Limiter will not allow output levels to breach a 0dB threshold.

6. Left Click the Options Button and from the menu select 2x Oversampling.

Z3TA+ will now internally sample at twice the normal rate. This results in even higher quality and allows you to bring the sound very close to ‘hardware’ indeed.
