Sonicware ELZ_1 play Black

Sonicware ELZ_1 play Black is a synthesizer featuring 17 synthesis engines, 33 effects, a 4-track looper, a 37-key velocity-sensitive keyboard, and built-in stereo speakers.

The ELZ_1 play is a compact yet powerful instrument designed for creators seeking unique sound design capabilities with an intuitive workflow. Its 17 synthesis engines are built from scratch using 32-bit floating-point architecture, offering everything from gritty bit textures to organic FM tones and granular synthesis. With 33 high-quality effects, you can radically transform any sound using three insert FX and a master FX, including a lush shimmer reverb.

The redesigned 4-track looper allows quick layering and playback at the press of a button, supporting both internal sounds and external audio via line input or USB. The expressive 37-key keyboard is velocity-sensitive, and the high-quality stereo speakers, SD card slot, USB-C, and DIN-MIDI ports make the ELZ_1 play a fully self-contained and versatile performance and production tool.
