01Overview

FutureCZ is developed by Plugin Boutique to bring the phase distortion sound of the classic CZ synthesizer into current production. The pack focuses on modern flavours of that retro character. Its 64 presets span melodic and rhythmic sounds such as basses, leads, plucks and stabs, alongside harmonic material like keys and pads. Underlying layers are also included: drones, textures, motion sequences and FX. Everything runs inside VirtualCZ, so the pack is a set of presets rather than a separate instrument.

What Sounds Are in the FutureCZ Preset Pack

The pack contains 64 presets organized by category. Bass is the largest group with 10 presets, followed by leads with 10 and stabs with 9. Plucks, keys and percussion are also well represented, with 5, 6 and 6 presets respectively.

For harmonic work, there are 3 pads and 6 keys. Layer-oriented material includes 4 drones, 2 textures, 4 motion sequences and 3 FX presets, plus 2 bell sounds. This mix lets you build a full arrangement from one expansion pack, using the melodic presets as the foreground and the drones, textures and motions as the background.

Using FutureCZ Within VirtualCZ

FutureCZ depends on VirtualCZ. You need the full version of VirtualCZ installed to load and play these presets. Plugin Boutique notes that the VirtualCZ synthesizer is required to run this software.

Because the presets are built for the VirtualCZ phase distortion engine, they serve as a starting point for patch design. Load a preset, adjust the phase distortion envelope and filter settings, and save your variation alongside the originals.
