Z3TA 2 has a completely redesigned user interface that inspires performance and makes sound design clear and comfortable while preserving that signature sound that has made it a favorite of top producers and musicians around the world.

A purchase is unfortunately not possible. The Cakewalk Z3TA + 2 website is still available but you will be directed to Bandlab immediately. Maybe as a third version with new features, let see. I hope the Z3TA+2 returns one day to the market of Synthesizer plugins and iOS apps. Also, there was an iOS version that disappeared also from the store. Whether Z3TA+2 will ever come back on the market is not known.

In the meantime BandLab ist the new owner of Cakewalk including the DAW Sonar, Z3TA+2, Rapture Pro and so on. Through the bankruptcy of Gibson, the last owner of Cakewalk, the brand and the Synthesizer disappeared from the screen. With the changing of the waveforms, you could spend hours. I especially liked the synth because it did not have a classic analog inspired sound and it was very easy to use. Further, it offered 14 continuously variable dual-stage filter types, 6 advanced LFO’s, envelopes, arpeggiator, and more. The results obtained from the Z3TA+2 were very complex and had a very unique digital character. It was powered by a deep but easy-to-use waveshaper synth engine with 16 different waveform modifiers.

“A simple waveform is the beginning”, according to this motto worked the Cakewalk Z3TA+2. The first plugin I want to highlight in this series is the Cakewalk Z3TA+2 Synthesizer. And yes, maybe a company dares to bring back one of their vintage plugins.Ĭakewalk Z3TA+2 Synthesizer – A Specialist In Waveshaping In the “ Almost forgotten Synthesizer Plugins” article series, I would like to remind you of the many exciting Synthesizer plugins that we miss today. Again, there were “virtual” instruments stuck in the heads of the musicians because of their sound or abilities. Many will not believe, but many musicians are also mourning for certain Synthesizer plugins that no longer exist today. How much do we remember the glory days of the hardware Synthesizers (Yamaha CS-80, Jupiter 8, PPG Wave 2.3 or very modern synths like the Nord Modular, Roland V-Synth to name just a few) It is very disappointing to see that such classics have not made it to this day.

Both have their advantages and disadvantages. We love Synthesizers in hardware as well as software.
