1. Description
-------------------
ZEPHYRUS is a Hybrid Synthesizer that combines analog synthesis engine and soundfont oscillator to produce complex pads and background sounds.

Features
------------
# Soundfont Oscillator: The SFO Uses the raw samples in a soundfont file (*.SF2) as waveforms. Samples can be arranged into Banks, Patches, Key and Velocity zones.

# 2 Digitally Controlled Oscillator - DCO - with 3 selectable waveforms (Saw, Triangle, Pulse) have knobs to control the octave (4' 8' 16') , and interval.

# 2 Digitally Controlled Filter filter - DCF - A) with control over cutoff, contour amount, FM mod and emphasis. B) with control over ADSR envelope generator (Attack, Decay, Sustain, Release).

# 1 Mixer, controlling oscillators A & B, master volume, Filter mod and Tracking rate.

# LFO (Low Frequency Oscillator) with 2 selectable waveforms (Triangle & Pulse)

# Loudness Contour with control over ADSR (Attack, Decay, Sustain, Release).

# Distortion Unit (Waveshaper): A wave distortion effect which maps input to output values using flexible spline-based graph.  Distorts the input depending on a transfer function you draw by dragging the control points with your mouse.

# Portamento/Glide control, which is separate from the two oscillator control groups, affects pitch transitions on all two oscillators. When turned to the far left, there are no pitch transitions - new notes immediately play at their "correct" pitch. If turned to the right, the glide time increases - new notes are triggered at the pitch of the previous note, and then gradually glide to the pitch of the played note, quickly or slowly, depending on the setting of this knob.

# Delay Effect Built-in: with Modulation and Feedback controls.

# On-screen MIDI keyboard that can be played with the mouse, or keyboard (Q is Middle-C, Z two Octaves lower) The 'T' on the left of the keyboard sets Toggle Mode where each key stays held until you click it a second time.

# Includes 32 internal presets and display "preset name".

# Possibility of turn the synth into Mono Mode and Retrigger switch.

# Hint Property: Tool tip when the mouse is over a control.

# One-panel Graphical User Interface

# MIDI Automation: The following 23 MIDI Continuous Controller (MIDI CC) messages are recognized and affect the described parameters:
