Z3ta+2 is amazing and you should buy it. I first used a version a million years ago and while it was very powerful, the ui was terrible. Now, the UI is gorgeous and so easy to use. The fx sounds amazing and are incredibly easy to use as well. If you need any kind of synth or sound design or electronic music instruments this is a great choice. It's easy to use and learn and there's so much depth to it. It's the best synth in my collection.

A very interesting program for sound design. Lots of options and a really kick ass randomization feature that will 9 timees out of 10 produce something really cool. This is the type of program you can get lost in for hours due to the depth of the options and feature set.

This is a fantastically addictive application. I have song ideas in my head but find myself still messing with the sounds hours later. There are tons of preset sounds and even a free pack of 8 bit game sounds as well that can be added. Prepare to lose your self in that alone checking out all the sounds. The interface with Music Creator works great but I just recently upgraded that to Sonar and have yet to test this with that but will update when I do. I highly recommend this.

This Synth is awesome! To be honest i don't think the preview video does it much justice. The sounds you can craft on it are amazing, grinding leads, heavy fat basslines, atmospheric pads. The presets included are perfect to get ideas, you can totally get immersed in the tweaking. This VST is pretty much my go to synth these days. I had previously used the first version of Z3TA until it was wiped off my hard drive, i decided to invest in this version. I was happy to see that all the patches from the first Z3TA are included in Z3TA 2, so any synth presets i had used in tracks could easily be replaced by Z3TA 2. Currently running smoothly on PC as a VST plug in with Renoise DAW. Really hope Steam does more VST's in the future.

With a decent DAW like Sonar or Cubase or Ableton Live, Z3TA+2 is an excellent software synth. Great for EDM and just about any synth use. It isn't as advanced as the high software synth like Massive or Absynth or Reacktor from Native Instruments or as powerful as Zebra. But it is much better than most ofp the sub £100 software synths. My only real moan is there are not many presets with the base package but enough to show you how to make certain sounds so you can then go mad and make your own. A great deal when on offer. 8/10

I've always been a fan of Cakewalk and Z3TA is an amazing addition to my DAW. Only problem I have is constant change of Freq while trying to port sounds into other software. Overall It's totally worth it and an amazing addition to synth arsenal
