Groove3 The Legend HZ Explained TUTORiAL

In this detailed The Legend HZ video course, synth guru Larry Holcombe takes you on a deep dive into The Legend HZ, the amazing VI from Synapse Audio that builds upon the Moog-emulating predecessor, The Legend. The Legend HZ was designed in collaboration with film-scoring phenom Hans Zimmer and packs an incredible amount of functionality that caters especially well to the needs of a film composer, including an additional three oscillators, polyphony, a modulation matrix, and more! These The Legend HZ videos are designed for new users.

Larry welcomes you and provides a bit of background info on what The Legend HZ is, why it was developed, and what sets it apart from its predecessor (The Legend) and the Moog hardware instrument on which it's based. Then he gives you a quick overview of the interface and main features, followed by a demonstration of how to save and manage presets, so you'll be ready to start testing out sounds right away.

Next up, Larry covers the Oscillator section, which contains six oscillators instead of the three normally found, resulting in much more tonal diversity. You'll learn how to adjust the tuning of each to create layered sounds, chords, and more. The Mixer section follows, where you have controls for oscillator volume in addition to noise (pink and white) sources. You'll then discover the Filter/Amplifier section, where you'll have access to tonal sculpting and envelope settings to control how the notes sound over time.

There's much more to come as well, such as the top section (pitch bend, mod wheel, glide, polyphony), MSEG (multi-segment envelope generator for modulation possibilities), Modulation Matrix (for routing mod sources to various destinations), using OSC 3 and 6 as LFOs (for additional modulation opportunities), Sequencer/Arpeggiator (for creating sequenced melodies/bass lines, etc.), effects (filter bank, phaser, chorus, reverb, delay, compressor, etc.), and more! Larry wraps up the course by designing a dark cinematic pad from scratch, so you can see how to apply all the knowledge you've learned throughout the course.

If you're a film composer or aspire to be, The Legend HZ packs a serious punch when it comes to sound design and versatility. This The Legend HZ course is the easiest and fastest way to master this formidable instrument, and you'll be ready to start using it with confidence and skill on your very next production.
