Frequently Asked Questions
How was Hans Zimmer involved in this synth’s development?
Legend HZ was built through a direct partnership with Hans Zimmer. Synapse Audio analyzed his personal vintage synthesizers and studio techniques, then modeled the specific tonal qualities and control behavior of those instruments. The 200 factory presets were designed by Zimmer himself alongside sound designer Kevin Schroeder.
What is the Vintage 914 Fixed Filter Bank?
The 914 Fixed Filter Bank is a rare Moog modular unit from the 1970s — Hans Zimmer owns one and uses it regularly in his film work. It’s a passive filter bank with fixed frequency bands that imparts a distinctive tonal coloring unlike any standard EQ or resonant filter. Legend HZ’s emulation of this unit is one of its signature features.
Does Legend HZ run natively on Apple Silicon?
Yes. Legend HZ has full native support for M1, M2, M3, and M4 Macs from macOS 10.14 onwards. No Rosetta required. Available in AU, VST, VST3, and AAX formats.
Does it support MPE controllers?
Yes. Legend HZ has full MPE support, so it responds to per-note pitch bend, pressure, and slide on ROLI Seaboard, LinnStrument, and any other MPE-capable hardware. It’s also NKS-ready for Native Instruments Komplete Kontrol integration.
How does Legend HZ differ from the original Legend synth?
Legend HZ adds three additional oscillators for thicker layering, the Vintage 914 Fixed Filter Bank emulation, a 32-step sequencer, multi-stage envelope generators (MSEG), 12-voice polyphony, and 200 HZ-exclusive presets. The original Legend had none of these.
