ZORBA Mono & Polyphonic Soft Synth
Coming Out Winter 2025
Overview
ZORBA is a pre-patched soft-synth from Pulsar Modular. ZORBA is Tyrant in English and it means: a ruler who has unlimited power over other people [or synths], and uses it unfairly and cruelly.
Being a tyrant, ZORBA does not like sharing and as such, it is a crushing monophonic, as well as, polyphonic synthesizer. In its arsenal is a thunderous army of 2 VCO, 1 Sub Osc. 1 Noise Osc. with its own LPF & HPF, dual LFO and Envelopes for VCA & VCF. Ring modulation through a dedicated VCO or side-chain external input. Lunar Lander signature BBD Delay and Plate Reverb are included to make sure nothing can stand in its way.
It will only take a press of a single key to realize that the time has finally come to confidently sell your hardware synthesizer.
ZORBA with its super low frequency oscillator can be used to lower blood pressure and put you or your audience into a hypnotic meditative state. Take ZORBA with you and become a spiritual guru! (no scientific data to support this, but you can take our word for it).
Development has started and expected to finish before April 2023.

Artist Reviews
Scott Weiser (AKA Jackal & Hyde)
Lunar Lander is INCREDIBLE! Realistic BBD Delay behavior.
Scott is responsible for some of the most head strong electrocore bass-bangers such as Dark Star, Go Bang, Beyond, This is the Sound of Underground and Bad Robot.
Marc Codsi
Extremely lush melodic plate reverb emulation. I use it when I want to add character to a sound.
