9 Glorious Voice & Master Effects

HoriZEN has a comprehensive and extensive effects system. Every voice has 4 dedicated Sends that match up to the 4 Send Effect Slots. These Sends are modulator targets so you can modulate the amount of each voice going into each send effect slot. Across the whole instrument are 4 Master Effect Slots. In every slot you get to decide the effect you want to run from a selection of 9 effects. So you can easily and quickly set up your own sequence of effects. Where appropriate effects also have dedicated LFOs for further control. 

Player Pages

Horizen has three different player systems.

Arp 1 & 2

A classic arp system with user set-able number of steps, tempo(DAW synced), swing, octave movement, and for each step the velocity, note length and pitch shift.  The arp can be configured in 6 different playback directions (including chord playback). Each of the voices in HoriZEN can be routed to one or the other of the arps (or to none at all), so you can have freely playing voices and arpeggiated voices at the same time.

It also boasts a chordal (scale) pitch-offset table where the user can pre-select a scale and have arp notes shifted to fit in the scale.

Chords

HoriZEN includes a dedicated chord player. Sixteen midi keys are set up to playback one of a wide range of chords, you can select the root note, one of 12 different popular chord types and the octave the chord will play in. The selected chord will then be shown on the 16-key display in the user interface. You can further select to play the chord as a strum(delays between each note of the chord) and set the strum tempo (user-selected divisions of the DAW speed). Finally you can select to augment the chord with additional notes, for more complicated chord structures.
