An accurate analogue modelling simulation of a legendary, sequencer-driven bassline synthesizer that defined an era, extended with circuit bends, a redesigned sequencer and effects.

ZeroBox recreates not only the signal path and components of the original but also its many quirks: from the peculiarly shaped oscillator waveforms and the 4-pole diode ladder filter to the envelopes and the so-called gimmick circuit, including their unusual interactions. The built-in sequencer keeps the original back-end logic and clock divisions but adds a refreshed front-end with triplets and shuffle. ZeroBox can be played with its own sequencer, with external sequencers or as a monophonic solo synth with a very bold sound and a deep low end. A total of six insert and two master effects (chorus, flanger, tube, transistor and foldback distortion, bitcrusher, delay and resonator reverb) are available directly in the rack.

Features
