BeepStreet Released Zeeon Synthesizer – High-End Analog Modelling Synth For iPad (AUv3)

BeepStreet, maker of the great Sunrizer Synthesizer released today Zeeon, a new full featured 2 layer analog modelling Synthesizer for iPad. Zeeon is high-end virtual analog synth with two oscillators (hard sync, 2 sub oscillators…) that includes a fantastic sounding engine, lovely filters and more. Compared to other synths, is the modulation matrix massive because it allows sound designers to modulate not only individual parameters but also a complete layers. With the noise generator as modulation option, you can design even more dirty and noisy stuff. On a second page you have also a nice amount of high-quality effects like reverb, delay and more. On each layer, you receive the same sound engine which gives you the possibility to create very fat sounds.

Very cool, BeepStreet includes in the initial v.1 a AUv3 version. Compared to the standalone version, the audio unit doesn’t feature the easy-to-use sequencer. I was the beta tester of this new Synthesizer and I can say that I love it. The sound quality is massive and you can find not so often such high-quality synths on iPad except Model 15 per example. If you want to invest only in high-end synths, than don’t miss Zeeon from BeepStreet

At the cutting edge of sound synthesis

Zeeon is a virtual analog synthesizer, powered by an advanced analog circuit modelling engine. We spent a lot of time analysing iconic analog synths, both vintage and modern, to find out which parts of the circuit contribute most to their specific character. We used this knowledge to create a unique synth, with focus on what’s most important – the pure, organic and detailed sound. Many analog synth emulations sound dull. Not Zeeon. We take care of the entire spectrum range from deep lows to sweet highs. All audio and modulation signals are processed at 176 KHz (4x oversampling).

Features

  • Audio Unit v3 and standalone application with a simple polyphonic step sequencer.
  • 2 oscillators with continuously variable waveforms, hard-sync and sub-oscillator. Carefully simulated analog drift and PSU influence.
  • Filter: 3 models available: Transistor ladder low pass, OTA cascade low pass and State Variable Filter with continuously variable LP-HP + BP mode.
  • 2 low frequency oscillators and envelope generators per voice.
  • Overdrive: diode clipper and transistor saturation, pre and post filter.
  • Up to 2 layers per voice. Layers can modulate each other.
  • Powerful modulation matrix offering self-modulation and cross-layer modulation, 8 modulation slots, 17 signal sources and 41 targets available, both from modulation modules and audio signal path. This takes Zeeon into semi-modular territory. Imagine oscillator waveform, panning, filter cutoff, resonance or LP-HP mode modulated by oscillators or another layer!
  • Effects unit: Circuit modelled BBD chorus, bass booster, zero-delay Phaser, Stereo delay and Reverb.
  • 144 presets and Tutorials bank, more coming soon.

Requirements

64-bit iPad is required. Zeeon solves millions of nonlinear equations in every second. Despite of heavy optimisations (DSP engine is written in assembly language for powerful ARM Neon) this comes at the cost of quite a high CPU-hit (40-50% on older devices), but we think the sound is worth it.
