Hmmm, well it is "synth week" so I am posting stuff to try to help new folks out, and posted a Z3TA tutorial that does a nice walkthrough of the modules and got this reply:
"Looks good & thanks for that but Cakewalk don't do Apple. I guess it's good anyway just to show the principles though. Anyone with any ideas on a Mac (or iOS) equivalent???"
So I was obliged to respond with:
"Z3TA+2 is built for both PC and Mac (
http://www.cakewalk.com/products/z3ta/feature.aspx/z3ta-2-system-requirements), the iOS version was just released last month (
http://www.cakewalk.com/products/Z3TA/ios.aspx) - I think is $20 in the AppStore.
I honestly was not intending to make a pitch for this particular synth, but (to me) it is the "King Kong" of synths and the capabilities of it are astounding (and humbling to someone new to synths)."
