Bit Zone is inspired by the Italian-born Crumar Bit 99, an obscure digitally-controlled 6-voice polyphonic analog synth released in competition to the popular 6-voice analog synths coming out of Japan at the time. No slouch, this formidable synth was designed with 2 DCOs and 2 LFOs per-voice, per-voice CEM 3328 analog filters, and per-voice VCAs, making it exceptionally versatile.
Instrument
Everything you hear in Bit Zone started on the real hardware, as UVI sound designers pushed the instrument to its limits to create an impressive range of sounds, with both era-specific and contemporary styles in mind. On top of that, every sample was recorded both with and without a hardware Yamaha SPX90 "Symphonic" chorus inline, allowing you to activate this defacto '80s effect at will in your own sound design.
In the end UVI recorded over 29,000 samples from the Bit 99, packing Bit Zone with 370+ presets made from 160+ layers. Explore patch categories including Animated Arp, Animated Chord Step, Animated One Key, Bass, Bells, Brass, FX, Keys, Leads, Organ, Pads, Pluck, Polysynth, Strings, and Winds. Each sound in Bit Zone is fully-customizable and can be used straight-away or as the starting point for a new sound. Raw waveforms from the Bit 99 are also available for those wanting to create from scratch.
Bit Zone's aesthetic was adapted to closely follow the design cues of the hardware, giving you the feel of this uniquely styled instrument as you edit the dual-layer sounds including oscillators, envelopes, multimode filters, LFO and step modulator, dual arpeggiators and a featured effect section including EQ, drive, Thorus, ensemble, Phasor, delay, and Sparkverb.
