HoriZEN is a multi instrument in that you can combine, mix & match anything & everything together. Thanks to its multi core (4 voice) sample engine that runs parallel with its (3 voice) dual OSC synth engine you can create anything that you can dream of – add customisations, such as 8 part unison (per voice), multi-mode filters, classic trem/vibrato and not forgetting the FX section where you can have 2 FX in each sampled voice, and 4 master FX of your choice.

You can switch things on/off as you wish with our Matrix approach that’s laid out simply & effectively. Moreover, you can use our unique approach to sound layering using our KeyScale function, this is great for sound design & movie productions as is the XY pad where you can automate & record XY movements, that allow the cross blending of one sound with another.

Overall if your into EDM, Trap, Retro or Movies & everything in-between, we think we have you covered. If we don’t we are sure we will. This is not just a synth, it is a platform, and we are committed to a long term relationship with it & you!

The Gain gates can set number of steps, depth of the effect, tempo(synced to DAW tempo) and inter-step smoothing, and for each step the overall gain(Volume) to be used. The filter Gate utilises a dedicated multi-mode filter, and the user can set the filter type (9 types), the number of steps, the tempo(DAW synced), and inter-step smoothing as well as the initial filer frequency and resonance. For each step the gate sets a user defined frequency.

Sixteen midi keys are set up to playback one of a wide range of chords, user can select the root note, one of 12 different popular chords and the octave the the chord will play in. The user can further select to play the chord as a strum(delays between each note of the chord) and the tempo (user selected divisions of the DAW speed) of the strum playback. Finally they can select to augment the chord with additional notes.
