Arranger module Zenith One is here!

2024 is an important year for our brand, which is celebrating its 120th anniversary. We had to mark this major event with a development worthy of it. Discover now Zenith One, our new latest generation arranger. It will never stop surprising you with its sound quality, and also with its brand new technology HLSG that we have developed to immerse you in a sound environment even closer to reality.

This is no longer a secret because since 2016, we have been using touchscreen tablets to control our MIDI instruments. The Bluetooth connection offers us unparalleled comfort, and user feedback has pushed us to work in this direction. For these reasons, we have retained the philosophy of our previous AiR Symphony model: Small, very light module, and touchscreen tablet. No wired connection between these 2 parts. Total comfort of use with a range of 20 meters!

Thanks to this arranger, you’ll have access to a true orchestra in real time, playing in the spirit of our traditions and culture. Have a listen to what it sounds like with our audio samples and videos. Do you have a MIDI accordion or keyboard? No problem, our AiR Symphony arranger module is compatible with all makes and models.

Characteristics

What are the differences with other arrangers?

Simple and intuitive use.

Minimal bulk. It is small, very light (525 grams) and nevertheless has the largest touch screen and Bluetooth on the market.

Flexibility of use thanks to its wirelessly connected tablet (Bluetooth connection – range 20 meters).

A clean navigation screen, not overloaded with buttons which offers perfect human-machine interaction.

A new interface, quick to access, visually clear and adapted to the ergonomic constraints of the accordion.

An arranger ready to play immediately: We plug in, we play. The factory configuration has been designed to be efficient and balanced.

It offers you the possibility of being used as an expander. For example, distribute sounds to the chords and basses of your accordion, without leaving arranger mode.

A fully customizable arranger for the most demanding.

It is Made in France!

We have created a simple and efficient arranger. It has been factory setting with special care.
It is therefore ready to play very easily. You will spend more time playing and having fun than programming.

On-board Technology Level: High quality

We have equipped Zénith One with a latest generation electronic platform, same power as that used in our Digit AiR ! As you will have understood, Zénith One therefore achieves a very high level of sound quality.

A huge amount of Sound Design work has been carried out to offer you a different arranger, and always Made in France, of course. More power, more memory, precise and transparent sound reproduction… His sound bank was specially created for him and for our requirements.

We have developed a completely new technology HSLG (Human Strumming Live Guitars). This allows us to reproduce in real time the playing of a real guitarist. To do this, we did numerous studio sessions, and we had the invaluable help of an excellent guitarist: Tony Margalejo, who is among other things the guitarist of Alain Musichini.

The result is impressively natural. So we recorded steel strings, nylon, electric guitars, Django, Gipsy, 12 strings… Without forgetting the electric guitars with distortions, whaha…
Immerse yourself in a striking soundscape, especially since all the samples produced have been captured for the precise use of the styles designed for our arranger, both for the musette part and the variety.

Concernant les sons, qu'apporte t'il de plus que les autres ?

Accordion sounds

We have integrated into Zénith One of accordion sounds from our Digit AiR ! You will have access to the famous Céleste Azzola, 3 Voices Musette, Plein Jeu, Plein Jeu Musette, Basson, Double Basson, Steirisch… Not to mention diatonic accordion sounds, an Alfred Arnold bando, 3 accordinas and international accordion sounds (piano keyboards).

GM sounds

Zénith One offers you 600 sound presets, classified by families (Pianos, Violins, Organs, Saxophones, Trumpets, Guitars, Voices, Synths…). It is possible to layer up to 4 sounds if you wish. A high quality, ultra efficient sound bank with natural realism.

New styles and less repetitive styles

Different styles

Zénith One styles are exclusive and new. Even for the musette part, we didn’t do a simple port of what previously existed on AiR Symphony. For what ? Because users are always disappointed to replace their arranger with the new model only to end up finding the same thing as what they had previously, and often realize that the new styles included are unusable for them. We want Zénith One to bring real new features, so that users discover something better and new.

International styles, but also French

Zénith One offers us a wide sound palette, which allows us to broaden the range of styles that we can offer. So we have created new styles for ballroom dancing, but also more modern styles, with international references, but also French ones. So you will find the styles perfectly suited to playing the hits of J.J Goldman, J. Halliday, G. Montagné, the hits of the 80s, Kenji, Creole repertoire… It’s impossible to list them all. We are targeting Zénith One for the French market and it was important for us to create something complementary to the arrangers who are often very focused on international repertoire.

Less repetitive styles, even in the bag!

We have done a lot of work on the arranger’s repetition cycles, also for the musette part, which often remains neglected at this level. We have dedicated styles with 16 bar repeat cycles (compared to 4 or 8 traditionally), even for our waltzes, marches… We have thus eliminated the “static” side of traditional arrangers to reproduce a more “dynamic and lively” summer, a bit like a stage musician would do. This offers a pleasure to play without comparison.

Some important details nonetheless!

Future styles

We remain convinced that the interest of an arranger remains the quality and originality of his styles. This is why new styles will be offered in packs. We still have many other ideas to bring originality to Zénith One. For this point, future styles offered for Zénith One will be free for all users.

Expander mode

Zénith One can transform into an expander and distribute sounds on the keyboards of your accordion distinctly (right hand, bass and chords). This mode is available without leaving arranger mode. Dedicated, ready-to-play presets are included in Zénith One.

Who says Made in France also says after-sales service in France

It is always important to specify that Zénith One after-sales service is in France in Béligneux (01), in our factory. Do not confuse after-sales service with point of sale.. In the event of a problem, your device will not be shipped overseas with expensive fees or unavailable for a long period of time.

User manual

Its user manual is in paper, in color, with an image for each step described. It is therefore ultra detailed, written natively in English, and well illustrated. Tutorial videos are also available on YouTube, in several languages.

Sound Mixer: Very practical!

With this always-accessible function, you take control over the volumes of the different sections used by the arranger. It’s therefore quick to act on the volume of the drums, bass, orchestration or solo sound.

Customizable styles

Zénith One comes with all its styles tuned and balanced by us.

That said, you can make your changes and even save them if you wish.

You can change the tempo of each style and also its content. For example, if you want a variation of another bass sound, you can replace the initial sound with another. You want to modify the volume of the bass on a variation, it is obviously possible.

Each variation and for each style is therefore customizable. You can change the tempo, volumes, reverb, pans, chorus, and sounds.

Each style also has a memorable overall volume. For example, if you find that a style stands out from the others by sounding louder, the overall volume of the style will allow you to turn that style down overall without losing the balance between all the parts used by the arranger. This volume is also memorizable.

You also have 360 registrations to quickly find your favorite styles, and also to save your styles and preferences completely independently.

MIDI compatibility and benefits!

You can use it with all MIDI accordions and MIDI master keyboards that have a standard system.

It is possible to call up each style and each sound in the arranger directly from your accordion and your MIDI keyboard (if your system has this capability).

For accordionists, Zénith One is designed to take into account all the bass you send it. So it can perform very precise bass lines, bass passages and other harmonies accurately and faithfully to your desires.

Your MP3s; your midifiles and your lyrics

Use Zénith One to play your MP3s.

You can organize your MP3s and midi files by folder, create shortcuts to quickly access your favorite titles.

It is possible to automatically play a series of several files.

Zénith One will also allow you to play MP3s with integrated texts, or if this is not the case, you can add lyrics to your MP3s, and the text is automatically displayed when playing the files.
