ZenDAW is the sound design endeavor helmed by the talented French composer of Ukrainian origin, Stéphane Horeczko (pronounced Arechka). The focus of ZenDAW revolves around crafting unconventional sounds, skillfully blending a myriad of synthesis techniques, including analog, FM, granular, additive, resynthesis, spectral modeling, and wavetable synthesis. With a keen eye for innovation and a passion for pushing sonic boundaries, ZenDAW continues to deliver a diverse and captivating range of audio experiences, enriching the creative endeavors of musicians and producers worldwide. We favor an artistic approach to our virtual instruments and sound banks: All sample loops are handmade one by one with craftsmanship and passion, this is what differentiates the ZenDAW sound signature. The sound processing is done in an analog way and goes through legendary samplers such as the E-mu Systems Emulator Three, the Ensoniq Mirage, or tape simulation plugins for more character and authenticity. ZenDAW provides sample based sound libraries into most used formats: Decent Sampler, Reason Refills, WAV, NI Kontakt, Arturia (Analog Lab V & Emulator II V), Korg Wavestate, E-mu Systems EIII iconic hardware sampler and compatible. ZenDAW's work focuses also on designing easy to use DAW remote software controllers for FHD touchscreens under Windows OS. © Benoit Billard
