ZD6

If you're a fan of classic rock or 70's funk music, you've most likely heard of the iconic German-invented keyboard, the ZD6. Originally designed by Ernst Zacharias in the 1950s as a portable cembalo, the ZD6 quickly became one of the most beloved and widely-used keyboards in popular music.

Its unique sound can be heard in famous tracks like "Superstition" and "Brick House", making it a staple in the funk genre. Additionally, police and investigation-themed movies and TV shows of the 70s and early 80s often employed music with funky accompaniments using the D6, slap bass, and drums.

One of the ZD6's standout features is its ability to simulate the sound of an electric guitar and apply the same effects used by guitarists, like wahwah, phaser, chorus, and distortion. This versatility makes it a favorite among musicians looking for both melodic and rhythmic textures.

And now, thanks to the ZD6 software, you can recreate that vintage sound without needing the physical instrument itself. With a physical modeling simulation of the D6, the ZD6 software lets you access that iconic keyboard sound, right at your fingertips.
