This one in via Soviet Space Child, spotted on Future Music. Something I didn't realize, or never really thought about until now, is that engine features a 6-OP FM synthesizer. There is a software editor for it as well (image below). "The software editor (Mac & PC compatible, available summer 2014) affords direct access to all generators’ fundamental sound-shaping parameters, as well as to the Zarenbourg’s menus of internal sounds and layers." Unfortunately, no iPad editor for a more immediate interface into the synth engine.
From Future Music:
"The Zarenbourg Module offers the sound engine of the Zarenbourg Piano in a stylishly compact full-metal enclosure. And like its larger cousin, three different sound generators deliver Waldorf quality: Physical modeling recreates the glory of classic E-Piano sounds with authenticity. The direct streaming sample playback engine with 4 GB of sample memory provides a selection of fantastic grand, upright and electric pianos. The third sound generation system is a 6-operator FM synthesizer, perfect for classic DX pianos and a variety of other trademark FM sounds. The effects section provides a huge selection of high-quality effects, such as Reverb, Chorus, Flanger, Phaser, Echo, Auto Wah, Equalizer and Overdrive, as well as many effect combinations. Each sound can be freely combined with an effect(s) combination and stored in the internal memory. New sounds and effects can be added via the integrated SD Card slot. Connect the module to your Mac or PC to work on sounds, setups and effects via the included software editor. And like its cousin, Zarenbourg module awakes right in the moment you turn it on."
