Xhun Audio Zerobox - Legendary Bass Synthesizer | Precise Analog Modeling, Redefining Electronic Music Grooves

Xhun Audio Zerobox is a groundbreaking virtual instrument that precisely analog models a legendary bass synthesizer that defined an entire musical era. This sequencer-driven classic instrument left an indelible mark in the field of electronic music production with its unique timbre and powerful grooves. ZeroBox not only faithfully recreates the original device's signal path and the physical characteristics of every electronic component (including oscillators, filters, envelopes, etc.), but also builds upon this foundation with comprehensive functional expansions, improvements, and circuit bending, elevating the entire synthesis engine to a new level.

Delving into ZeroBox, you will experience the unique charm of what was known as the 'silver voodoo box.' From its uniquely shaped analog oscillator waveforms to the iconic 4-pole diode ladder analog filter, the bias envelope generator, and the so-called 'gimmick circuit,' ZeroBox faithfully preserves all the details of the original hardware, including the unusual interconnections and interactions between different components. This extreme pursuit of detail ensures that the sounds it produces possess the same legendary tone as the original.

With a redesigned sequencer front-end, along with a full suite of modulation, analog saturation, and multi-type distortion effects, ZeroBox becomes an expressive, powerful, and self-sufficient tool suitable for any electronic music scenario. Whether you're seeking vintage grooves or aspiring to create avant-garde soundscapes, ZeroBox can help you unleash limitless creative potential.

Key Advantages & Application Scenarios

Ultimate Analog Modeling Accuracy
ZeroBox not only simulates the behavior and physical characteristics of the original device but also precisely recreates the nuances of all electronic components and signal paths, including the countless quirks and features present in the original hardware, ensuring unparalleled sonic authenticity.

Enhanced Synthesis Engine
Beyond faithful replication, ZeroBox incorporates an expanded feature set, improvements, and 'circuit-bents,' elevating its synthesis capabilities to an unprecedented level and offering broader sonic exploration possibilities.

Redesigned Sequencer
The embedded digitally controlled sequencer retains the original device's vintage backend logic and sub-pulse clock division, while benefiting from a refreshed front-end that offers more user-friendly functional improvements, such as triplets and shuffle modes, making groove creation more flexible.

Rich Built-in Effects
ZeroBox features six insert effects and two master effects, all accessible from a single-view rack interface. These effects include chorus, flanger, analog vacuum tube distortion, analog transistor-based distortion, digital foldback distortion, creative bitcrusher, digital delay, and resonator-based reverb, providing a one-stop solution for sound shaping.

Versatile Application Modes
ZeroBox can be used with its embedded sequencer, synchronized with an external sequencer, or as a single-oscillator monophonic lead synthesizer, producing extremely bold and deep low-frequency sounds, perfectly adapting to various music production needs.

Faithful Recreation of Legendary Details
From uniquely shaped analog oscillator waveforms to the iconic 4-pole diode ladder analog filter, from the bias envelope generator to the so-called 'gimmick circuit,' and even the unusual interconnections and interactions between different components, ZeroBox faithfully preserves everything, ensuring the original authenticity of the sound.
