• Effects include tempo-synced delays and choruses plus drive, EQ, and more

Expressive analog-style sounds plus modern timbres
Cakewalk Z3TA+ (“zay-tah”) is one of the most expressive and inspiring virtual instruments you’ll ever hear, producing both authentic vintage analog sounds and incredible, cutting-edge modern timbres. Cakewalk Z3TA+ delivers uncompromised sound quality and features, whether you want lush pads, slowly evolving atmospheres, searing leads, sparkling FM sounds, or virtually any other texture. With hundreds of professionally programmed presets included, Cakewalk Z3TA+ will have an instant impact on the sounds you create!

Unique waveshaping engine with remarkable flexibility
At the heart of Cakewalk Z3TA+ is Cakewalk’s exclusive 32-bit Bandlimited Waveshaping technology. Each of Z3TA+’s six oscillators can be independently assigned a waveform, and each waveform can be manipulated using one of 14 transformations. With 60 built-in plus six user-loadable waveforms, you have access to an incredible range of timbres!

Tons of programming power with filters, LFOs, and envelope generators
Cakewalk Z3TA+ gives you a powerful programming interface, with two stereo multi-mode filters (four mono) and 10 filter modes. Individual Cutoff, Resonance, Resonance Boost, Pan, Level, and Limiter controls are available for each filter. In addition, Cakewalk Z3TA+ offers four global and two per-voice morphing-capable LFOs that all sync to host tempo, and eight 6-stage envelope generators with adjustable positive or negative amount settings for Delay, Attack Time, Slope Time, Slope Level, Decay Time, Sustain Level, and Release Time.

Tempo-synced delays and choruses plus drive, EQ, and more effects
Cakewalk Z3TA+ provides loads of effects power, too. In addition to local Drive, Modulation, Compression, reverse, EQ, and Delay, Z3TA+ offers a master limit and a global effects bypass.

Cakewalk Z3TA+ Effects:

• Drive – Six modes, including Soft/Hard drive, Valve Amp, Smart Shaper, and Heavy Metal (local plus global drive stage), individually selectable for both filters
• Modulation – Nine-mode Modulation section, full stereo operation (except when mono modes are selected). Modulation speed is syncable to the host tempo. A broad range of Chorus, Flanger, and Phaser effects is available, including mono/stereo chorus, flanger and phaser, 6-voice chorus, and Quad phaser. Delay, Speed, Modulation Depth, Feedback, 2-band Modulation EQ with selectable modes, and Level controls
• Compressor – 3-mode dedicated compressor, with Threshold, Ratio, Gain, and Output Level controls
• Delays – Three independent delay lines that sync to the host tempo. Stereo, Ping, Cross, and LRC delay modes. Three-band stereo equalizer with six EQ modes for each delay line. Individual time settings for L and R channels, feedback, and level controls
• Reverb – Full stereo reverb. Four Reverb modes, including Small Room, Mid Hall, Big Hall, and Plate. Size, Damp, Lo, Hi, and Wet/Dry controls
• EQ – 7-band equalizer with 11 EQ modes (Wide 1/2/3, Half 1/2/3, Low, Lo/Mid, Mid, Mid/Hi, Hi). Stereo Cabinet-Amp simulator, with 19 different preset simulations
• Main Effects – Effect bypass. Stereo Main Limiter

So start making new sounds today. With Cakewalk Z3TA+ in your arsenal, you’ll have decidedly more tonal power!
