Description
SoundEngine’s Z-Engine Sample Pack is not what you expect.
In automotive circles, the Nissan Z-Engine was the powerplant for classic Nissan cars from 1978 through 1989. It was feature in the Datsun 200SX and later in the Nissan Pathfinder.
At SoundEngine, the Z-Engine is something entirely different – a tribute to the Casio CZ and VZ series Phase Distortion Synthesizers. Searing synths, E-Pianos, bottom-end Basses and wild effects – all represent here, all multi-sampled and many with multiple velocity levels that show off the dynamism of the Casio Z-Engine.
We’ve built a huge library of almost 300 presets and more than 3500 samples to capture these incredible sounding yet budget instruments – made the news by targeting lost cost, yet still were popular as an alternative to the Yamaha DX series.
