About the SYNTHONY II
Congratulations on your purchase of the ZETA SYNTHONY II, the fastest
and highest performance bowed instrument-to-Midi Converter on the
market. The result of years of research and refinement, the SYNTHONY II
represents a new generation of MIDI controller from Zeta Music Systems
that raises the industry standard to the highest levels ever. The ZETA
SYNTHONY II is capable of recognizing the exact pitch that you play
immediately as you play it, providing excellent tracking capability and
instant response to the unique dynamics of bowed string instruments. The
ZETA SYNTHONY II immediately and simultaneously recognizes and
translates pitch, volume, and crescendo- features that are unique to the
ZETA SYNTHONY II. The ZETA SYNTHONY II is the only true bowed
instrument-to-MIDI converter available today.
Other effects such as COMMON (Bypass), SEPARATE (Hold), LAYER
ensemble/doubling), etc. can be controlled by the fully programmable hold
pedal.
The implementation of a sophisticated Arpeggiator gives you variation,
expression, and accompaniment. Unique to the ZETA SYNTHONY II is
the use of Zeta’s special pick-up system for violin, viola, cello and bass
instruments, allowing you complete control of your ZETA SYNTHONY II
from all bowed string instruments and opening a door to the MIDI world
for string players giving access to new and modern forms of musical
expression.
The internal sound board built into the ZETA SYNTHONY II makes
your SYNTHONY II a professional synthesizer with 480 sounds, as well as
11 drum kits. The soundboard adheres to XG-MIDI-MODE, the newest
standard in General-MIDI, and there are numerous digital effects. All of the
reverb, chorus and variation effects (11 reverb, 11 chorus, 42 variation) can
be freely combined and simultaneously implemented. In addition, the
ZETA SYNTHONY II is a freely editable drum sequencer.
