Having scored over 150 films, won four Grammy awards, three Golden Globes, two Academy Awards, four Classical Brit Awards, and one BAFTA, film composer Hans Zimmer's career has been nothing shy of legendary. His iconic and genre-defining work is a fixed feature of many franchises and standalone films, from Dune, Pirates of the Caribbean, and Kung Fu Panda to the Lion King, Inception, and Gladiator.
By partnering with Synapse Audio, Hans Zimmer has drawn on this experience to create a versatile soft synth that was built with the needs of modern media scoring, music production, and sound design in mind.
The Legend HZ features 200 factory presets developed jointly by expert sound designer Kevin Schroeder and Hans Zimmer. The factory soundbank gives anyone access to a wide range of cinematic-style sounds, while The Legend HZ itself provides access to some of the very tools used by them.

- Polyphony up to 12 voices, and a new Unison II mode with increased stereo spread.
- A Fixed Filter Bank modeled after Hans Zimmer's personal Vintage 914 Fixed Filter Bank.
- A designated Arpeggiator/Sequencer capable of creating up to 32 step/bar sequences.
- Modulation matrix with Drag+Drop support.
- Additional effects on the back panel.
