Modular V is one of Arturia's oldest plug-ins, so my assumption would be that The Legend HZ surpasses it sonically most of the time, but I really don't know--it's been a while since I used Modular V, and perhaps it can be coaxed into some really cool modern sounds.

One of my favourite sound designers is doing a walk through, I imagine with some sound design tips of this synth today at 3pm EST..

Wooo... Indeed our winner... Nice find...

Also interrested if somebody could compare.
I don't think Modular V could compare as it is just old. It's one of the oldest plugins Arturia has and AFAIK hasn't been updated with rebuilds the way Mini V, CS-80, and some others have been.
Maybe Stefano D'Angelo of Orastron is the dev who upgraded the quality of Arturia synth since 2015 ?

I feel like the next closest synth to LegendHZ, the one really worth comparing to, is of course, One Ping Only. I can get them really close.

Maybe he is working on Modular V for a future release.

Shame about Behringer Vintage. I think we'll just forget that ever happened.

Hey everyone,
Just wanted to announce I put out my first soundest for The LegendHZ!
A lot of these sounds are derived from hardware patches I've used on major Film/TV/VG projects over the years + some fun stuff for the nerds. :party:

Enjoy!
Available at my website https://www.benjaminhowell.work/store/p/usurper

Heres a video walkthrough of the patches!

Good grief, listening to that video now... Good Lord.. these sound F'kingTastic.

Are these straight without any additional processing bar maybe a light limiter?

And bought, one little thing... you need to create an config.init file so it knows that BH is Benjamin Howell. and that file needs to be in the BH Usurper Folder.

It's easy enough to do or I can upload the one I just made.

You do not have the required permissions to view the files attached to this post.

For those who think 6 oscillators are over kill listen to some of the patches in Benjamin's bank..
Pure Analog goodness and fatness.

And you programmed Aftertouch in it... I think I am in love.

Thank You! Just updated the master file, totally forgot to include the config.
Enjoy :tu:

demo removes the OG legend?

I can't imagine why it would, the paid version doesn't, its for the most part a separate plugin.

Considering that Osc3&6 will often be used as LFOs, I like to think of The Legend HZ as a 4-Osc synth with 2 LFOs that can be used as oscillators if you so desire. :phones:

No, 2 diff .dll's. They will run side by side.
