Synapse Audio has announced an update to its software synthesizer instrument developed in collaboration with iconic and multiple-award-winning film composer Hans Zimmer.
Version 2.1 of The Legend HZ comes with a paragraphic equalizer on the back panel, providing more tonal shaping options directly within the instrument.
The compressor section also receives an upgrade with a new saturation feature, adding warmth and character to the final output. For users working with alternative tuning systems, the updated version introduces microtuning support via MTS-ESP, opening up The Legend HZ to a wider range of musical styles and experimental workflows.
Rounding out the update are 50 new factory presets crafted by professional sound designer Kevin Schroeder, ready to use straight out of the box.
A free update for existing owners, The Legend HZ for Windows and Mac (VST/VST3, AU and AAX) is available to purchase for 179 EUR/USD at the Synapse Audio store and from distributor AudioDeluxe. Note that you can currently get a 10% discount on a purchase at AudioDeluxe with coupon code SUMMER2026 at the checkout.
