Origin's V1.4 firmware update introduces a range of new modules and features that further expand the sonic scope of this already versatile synthesizer while enriching the user experience.

Origin uniquely houses several synth classics and associated components in one powerful, no-holds, barred DSP-based modular system. Now its V1.4 firmware allows users to 'mix and match' even more modules by introducing a True Analogue Emulation (TAE®) of the Oberheim SEM filter found on the legendary Oberheim Synthesizer Expander Module® (or SEM for short). The new SEMFilter module considerably widens Origin's sound palette thanks to its ability to continuously sweep from LP to Notch and HP modes.

Aphex, the leader in sound enhancement technology, has launched the EX•BB 500 module, which introduces the company's legendary Aural Exciter and Big Bottom patented audio enhancement technologies to the portable and convenient 500 Series format.

The mono EX•BB 500 module is the first release in a new line of 500 Series products being launched in 2012 by Aphex.

This psytrance soundest comes into it's own when you hear just how complex and transitional the sounds are, simply mind-blowing! Designed from the ground up by our in house psytrance master these psy sounds range from stuttering bass sounds to morphing leads, tight plucks through to mesmerising sweeps and much more. We're sure you'd be stoked on just the psy bass presets alone!

Each preset is available in .nmsv format which means you need V1.3 or higher of NI Massive so if you have an older version do not fret, all you need to do is purchase your Zenhiser presets, get the latest free upgrade of Massive and you're away.
