The Cutting Edge, Season 3

The version 3 upgrade of Zynaptiq’s highly acclaimed ZAP Bundle combines all ten of their AI and source separation based plugins into a single, value-packed processing suite.

Restore your sound's natural frequency response, remove reverb and masking effects, reduce codec/denoiser artifacts, and modify pitches within mixed music on the fly.

Create unheard new hybrid sounds, drones and morphing transitions, and boost or attenuate drums in mixed music. Add punch to your drum stems, mutate, beautify, cross-filter or polish your sounds, and even add the only ultra-lush, musical reverb that tracks your audio’s harmonics.

All in real-time, with a lightning fast workflow, and with award-winning quality. Add the future of audio processing to your toolkit now with ZAP III – The Zynaptiq Audio Processors Bundle, Version three.

What's included in the ZAP III Bundle:

• Orange Vocoder IV: Vocoding, zynaptified.
  Combining the most comprehensive and best-sounding set of vocoding algorithms available today with laser-like pitch control effects, a powerful synthesizer, audio freezing, a super fun and efficient workflow, and tons more, ORANGE VOCODER IV is - quite simply - the ultimate vocoder plug-in.


• INTENSITY: Detail, Clarity, Density and Loudness.
  A new kind of audio processor for mixing, mastering and sound design. Built on techniques typically found in facial recognition algorithms, INTENSITY brings out a sound’s inherent detail, increases its perceived loudness and density, and adds insane amounts of clarity.


• UNVEIL: De-Reverberation & Signal Focusing Processor.
  Boost or suppress reverb in your recordings, and fine-tune overall clarity, with award-winning quality.


• UNFILTER: Adaptive Tonal Contour Linearization. Remove resonances, roll-offs, comb-filtering and solve any other type of EQ problem including mastering applications automatically, with award-winning precision and quality.


• UNCHIRP: Codec Artifact Removal & Transient Retrieval. Restore audio compromised by poor encoding, and add clarity, definition and punch to your recordings.


• PITCHMAP: Re-Write Mixed Music In Real-Time. Change the harmonies and melodies of polyphonic recordings, samples, loops, or even full mixes on the fly, while correcting tuning and suppressing individual sounds based on their pitch at the same time.


• MORPH 2: Real-Time Structural Audio Morphing. Apply high-end morphing algorithms to two input sounds to create a new one that has features of both – and create a whole universe of new sounds.


• UNMIX::DRUMS: Boost Or Attenuate Drums In Mixed Music. Boost or cut the drums in a mix or sample frequency dependently, or add potentially illegal amounts of punch to your drum stems.


• ADAPTIVERB: Harmonic Tracking Resynthesis Reverb. Unlike traditional reflection-based acoustic room modeling, ADAPTIVERB adds perceived depth, harmonic richness, and butter-smooth tails without obscuring the source.


• WORMHOLE: Otherworldly Audio Effects Processor. High-quality multi-effects processing ranging from the sublime to the extreme. Creature/robot voices, sci-fi SFX and drones, or wide, shimmering, glassy ambient guitars with pitch-shifted tails?
