The world's only dedicated MIDI controller for bowed strings violin, viola, cello, and upright bass - the Synthony II is capable of translating the unique dynamics produced by bowed strings into MIDI signals. Bowed stringed instruments are capable of producing an entire range of dynamics which other MIDI processors, designed for guitar or bass, simply do not understand.
Dynamics define tone - especially for bowed stringed instrument players.
Only the ZETA Synthony II MIDI processor can translate the analog signal from a ZETA MIDI capable violin, viola, cello or bass into a MIDI signal - complete with the rich dynamics which clearly distinguish the bowed strings' sound from other stringed instruments. The Synthony II offers a broad palette of 480 built-in GM and XG MIDI sounds, each of which can be fully customized by the user, and saved into one of 256 user presets. Each digital effect is user programmable, and up to 3 digital effects can be assigned to each MIDI sound. Complex arrangements and accompaniments can be achieved with the Synthony II's on-board Arpeggiator. Up to 32 notes can be sequenced in real-time, set to tempo, quantized, and looped in a wide variety of patterns and musical styles.
