Zen
is a Universal Presets Manager: It loads in any host as a VST
instrument, and acts as a loader for other VSTis. So with Zen,
you can search for "Rhodes piano" and get a list of
all matching presets – regardless of the final VSTi (Rhino,
Zebra, Absynth... whatever). When you select one of the
presets in Zen, the corresponding VSTi is automatically loaded
to play the requested preset.
Many
popular VSTis are supported, and new ones are added daily.
Eventually Zen aims to categorize all available presets, for
all VSTis.
Zen
is online
It constantly synchronizes its own local database of presets
with a master online database hosted at www.bigtickaudio.com
– users get new presets daily, delivered right into their
sequencer, already categorized.
Zen
for commercial presets designers
Commercial presets designers can use Zen to send demo versions
of their presets to all potential customers. Users can preview
the presets in Zen, directly in the context of their track,
and buy the presets they like with just one click. Presets can
be bought individually, as opposed to purchasing a full bank
of presets.
