Audiaire Zenith £69
One of the best features of Audiaire’s Zone synth (9/10, 265) is its brilliant sequencer, which not only generates note patterns, but also automates almost every one of its parameters. The company’s new plugin, Zenith, is that entire system extracted and repurposed as a VST/AU instrument able to output static, sequenced and modulated MIDI note, Continuous Controller (CC) and SysEx data to any plugin or hardware device capable of receiving it.
Zen’ garden
As with any plugin that outputs MIDI, setting Zenith up involves a bit of inter-track routing, the specifics of which will depend on your DAW, and six Macro knobs on the left; a contextual Settings panel, four LFOs and an Envelope generator on the right; and the sequencer in the bottom half of the centre section.
