Presentation of the Zénith One by Cavagnolo :

The story of Zénith One

We wanted to mark 120 years of the Cavagnolo brand. Zénith One is the ideal opportunity for us to take on this new challenge. Musicians are becoming ever more demanding: they want impeccable sound quality, foolproof reliability and above all, they do not want to waste hours programming machines. They simply want their time to be dedicated to enjoying their art. Our objectives having been determined, we have developed this new Zénith One arranger module. We have integrated into Zénith One a modern sound platform, identical to that of our famous Digit AiR digital accordions: more power, more memory, precise and transparent sound reproduction, exclusive sound bank... The new experience of a very high level of sound quality.

A new Musette musical color on the program

We have created high quality styles, respecting the "French style". Thus, waltzes, pasos, javas, bostons, madisons, tangos... have been arranged in our cultural traditions and they are therefore not rhythms diverted from their primary use to fill a gap. Zénith One also has many styles of French and International variety. The flagship titles popular with the public are present. We called on professional musicians to benefit from excellent quality rhythms. We have equipped Zénith One with a brand new exclusive sound bank, new ultra dynamic drum kits and we have recorded real rhythm guitars to accompany you. in 3 words: an exceptional result!

Exclusive “Live” styles

All the styles of Zénith One have been arranged to perfectly suit people who play for pleasure or who host parties, balls, etc. Everything has been designed to be danceable and effective. We wanted to give a "Live" and very dynamic aspect, rather than overmixing too much to avoid the cliché of synthetic and not very credible arrangements. The styles of Zénith One are exclusive and have been produced in the majority with repetition cycles of 16 measures, compared to 4 or even exceptionally 8 traditionally, even for the musette repertoire. no more weariness of short cycles.

Small, light and ergonomic

525 grams is its weight! You can take it anywhere and easily. In the philosophy of our AiR series, we used a touchscreen tablet connected via Bluetooth to the arranger as a control panel. The interest? The arranger control screen is before your eyes. It's incredibly comfortable, whether you're an accordionist or keyboardist. Place the tablet on your piano music stand or hang it on your microphone stand: the Zénith One control panel will always be easily within reach. You have access to your entire arranger without ever having to turn around.

Technically at the cutting edge!

In addition to Bluetooth, Zénith One uses very advanced technology. The HLSG (Human Live Strumming Guitar) process allows Zénith One to offer you excellent rhythmic support thanks to guitars that are more real than life. Many guitars have been recorded (steel string, nylon strings, 12 strings, electric guitars, gypsy guitars, Django...) Without forgetting the multitudes of effects: Whawha, distortion... The 475 sounds contained in the sound bank of Zénith One have been created to offer you sounds with varied and natural temperaments. We have integrated around fifteen accordion sounds from the Digit AiR Pro. 600 sound presets are available to you, with the possibility of personalizing your sound associations.

Sound Mixer

Thanks to this always accessible function, you easily take control of the volumes of the different sections of Zénith One. It is thus quick to act on the volume of the drums, the bass, the orchestration or the solo sound.
