Pulsar Modular ·Pulsar Modular

Zorba is a polyphonic software synthesizer from Pulsar Modular that recreates the warm sound of classic analog synths inside your DAW. It’s aimed at producers and sound designers who want a Juno or Jupiter-style character without hundreds of confusing parameters.

Pulsar Modular ZORBA 1.2.0 Overview

Zorba is the first instrument from Pulsar Modular, a company better known for its mixing and mastering effect plugins. It launched in May 2026. Its designer is Ziad Sidawi. Zorba is built on the sound of the company’s P900 analog heritage. It isn’t a copy of one vintage synth. Instead, it can lean toward a Juno on one patch and a Jupiter on the next. The layout is fixed and easy to read: three oscillators, two filters, three envelopes, two LFOs, an arpeggiator and a plate reverb. Under it sits a large modulation matrix for deeper sound design. It runs as a plugin inside a DAW such as Logic Pro or Ableton Live, with zero added latency.

Key Features

Three oscillators with morphing waves. Two main oscillators morph smoothly from saw to sine and support FM and hard sync. A third oscillator adds a dedicated sub an octave below. Two state-variable filters. Low-pass, band-pass, high-pass and notch modes, with resonance that goes from clean to self-oscillation and heavy saturation. The filters can run separately, linked or in series. Big modulation matrix. 12 sources and 38 targets give 208 possible routes, with no slot limits and a separate depth for each route. Accent arpeggiator. The arpeggiator has a five-step accent pattern that loops on its own, separate from the chord you’re holding. Performance controls. MIDI-Learn with saved mapping sets, polyphonic aftertouch, a breath controller source, and glide. Light on CPU. It adds zero samples of latency and uses no convolution, so you can stack several instances in a project.
