An Accurate Analogue Simulation Of An Iconic Bassline Synthesizer
“ZeroBox” mimics not just the behaviour and physics of all the electronic components and the signal path, but also the myriad of quirks and idiosyncrasies found on the original hardware.
“ZeroBox” can be used in conjunction with its embedded sequencer as well as with external sequencers, or as a single-oscillator monophonic solo synthesizer with a very bold sound and an incredibly deep low-end.

Inside That Silver Voodoo Box
The “ZeroBox” GUI is divided into 7 main sections:
Section 1: The Analogue Synthesizer
ZeroBox is a single-oscillator, multi-waveform analogue synthesizer with a 4-pole low pass diode ladder filter, two envelope generators, one multi-destination LFO and loads of circuit-bents, quirks and idiosyncrasies.
Section 2: The Clock Generator, Computer Controlled Sequencer & Global Parameters
ZeroBox features an embedded clock generator unit and a “computer controlled” sequencer modeled preserving the same vintage back-end logic and sub-pulse clock divisions of the original gear, while having the full benefit of a refreshed front-end.
Section 3: The Sequencer Pattern Editor
Compared to the original hardware synthesizer, ZeroBox features a fully refreshed pattern editor front-end.
- SEQUENCER NOTE GATE 1…16 [OFF…ON]: Enable or disable the gate control for each step of the pattern.
- SEQUENCER NOTE PITCH 1…16 [-12semi…+12semi]: Set the note pitch for each step of the pattern.
- SEQUENCER NOTE OCTAVE 1…16 [-1oct…+1oct]: Set the note pitch octave for each step of the pattern.
- SEQUENCER NOTE SLIDE 1…16 [OFF…ON]: Enable or disable the note slide/portamento for each step of the pattern.
- SEQUENCER NOTE ACCENT 1…16 [OFF…ON]: Enable or disable the note accent for each step of the pattern.
Section 4: Insert Effect Slot (FX Slot 1)
ZeroBox rack features one insert (multi) effect slot.
- BYPASS/ON (available for all effects units): Turn the effect processor off or on.
- CHOR-S [BWIDTH,CENTER,FBACK,RATE]: A 1U half-rack, 2-channel chorus unit, achieving a very warm, natural sound as well as extreme, esoteric modulations.
- FLANG-R [BWIDTH,CENTER,FBACK,RATE]: A 1U half-rack, 2-channel flanger unit, with extended controls to achieve an evolving, deep and rich sound.
- X-TREME [PRE,LOAD,POST]: A 1U half-rack, tube distortion unit, with an organic asymmetrical, biased response.
- SOLID-A [PRE,LOAD,POST]: A 1U half-rack, transistor based distortion unit, with a rock-solid transients sound.
- PHEEBEE [PRE,THRSH,POST]: A 1U half-rack, expressive digital foldback distortion unit, with threshold control.
- CRUSH-R [PRE,DEPTH,POST]: A 1U half-rack, creative bit crusher distortion unit, with bit-depth control.
Section 5: Master Effect Slot (FX Slot 2)
ZeroBox rack features one master (multi) effect slot.
- BYPASS/ON (available for all effects units): Turn the effect processor off or on.
- D-LAY [LEFT N/T,RIGHT N/T,FBACK,TONE,MIX]: A 1U half-rack, 2-channel tempo-synced digital delay unit, with the possibility to set the timing mode for each channel (normal or triplet), adjust the feedback, cutoff and mix parameters.
- REEVERB [SIZE,WIDTH,DAMP,MIX]: A 1U half-rack, 2-channel resonator-based reverb algorithm, allowing the design of beautiful small resonator bodies or endless open spaces.
Section 6: Device Panel Styles
ZeroBox comes in two different styles and colors – useful to quickly identify the different instances of the software.
Section 7: Presets
ZeroBox features a proprietary, cross-platform presets management system. Presets files are plain-text, human readable, open source: each preset is stored into a separate file, with no complicate sound banks or archives to manage and/or to keep updated.

Joseph – :
What an excellent 303 box by zhun audio. it sounds great just like the classic. get it for your old school trax.
Jeremiah – :
Thick and chunky. I have another (well-deservedly) popular 303 emulation, and Zerobox certainly holds its own there, and is even better in some ways.
Aron – :
The responsive design didn’t work for me on Studio One 6 and I needed to change my resolution to see the plugin, but other than that, it’s solid. Very good presets. I feel the filters are very close to the original – or what I’d imagine the original to sound-feel like.
