z3ta+2 HOW CAN I GET Z3TA+2 IN 2025

[Name]

I already own Serum, Vital, Massive, Sylenth1 etc. Is Surge different from those?

 

And is Surge a 6-oscillators waveshaping synth like Z3TA+2?

Thank you for reaching out to us and sharing your journey in music. It’s great to hear about your passion for sound design and your admiration for Avicii’s work.
 
Unfortunately, we no longer sell or distribute Z3TA+2, as it is a legacy product from the old Cakewalk company. Additionally, without ownership of the product and a legacy account associated with its purchase, we cannot assist with activation or provide support for it.
 
While we understand how important Z3TA+2 is for your creative process, we recommend exploring alternative synthesizers available today that offer similar or even more advanced sound design capabilities. Many modern options could help you achieve the iconic sounds you're looking for.
 
We truly appreciate your enthusiasm for music and wish you the best in your creative endeavors. Please feel free to reach out if you have any questions about our current products or need further assistance.
 
Best regards,

Cakewalk no longer seems to be willing to provide a means of obtaining it at this time. Except for one thing.

That is, the only way to get it *from the official servers* at this time is if someone has an old Cakewalk Account that contains Z3TA+2 purchase information and is willing to lend me access to it (ID and password, etc.), I may be able to get the Z3TA+2 macOS installer from via the Cakewalk Command Center.

I realize there is some risk in this, but I figure it is better than getting c*ack from the internet. They are completely unofficial, but using the old Cakewalk Account is a *relatively official way* since you are using an official server. There is also less risk of computer virus infection.

So I say to the license holders among you, if you can help us out, could you please tell us in another message apps? (I prefer something like Instagram or Discord, where both parties can delete messages they have sent each other. Because the other side can always delete the ID and password they sent me.)

I understand that this is not the preferred method for the Cakewalk Team, BandLab Staffs, and old Cakewalk Account holders. I just couldn't reproduce the unique texture of Z3TA+2 with other synths.

If this is possible, I would appreciate your help. When I am done, I will delete the ID and password you sent me from my computer and I will not be able to access it myself until you send it to me again.

I regret that I am forced to take such a hard-line measure.

As you all know, Avicii, unlike most artists, lost his life at a young age.

So his work is valuable, and recreating it or creating new work with the Z3TA+2 he used is what all music makers who loved Avicii sincerely want.

This is because I sticking like a crazy to these legacy synths because I feel such great value in his sound design.

The new stuff is ultimately just based on the old resources. That is why the old is sometimes necessary, because there are things out there that modern synth cannot reproduce. There is nothing new without the old.

I hope you will agree with me.

There is no information there on how to make the Z3TA+2 available for macOS. As you can see from my very first post here, I already tried the Windows Steam version method.

And again, I do not want an alternatives.

I want the sound of the Z3TA+2 because even Serum could not fully reproduce the sound of the Z3TA+2.

If it doesn't work on Apple Silicon Macs, I have an old Intel Mac and will use that.

if I can get the macOS installer and make Avicii-like music with it, that's fine.

From my point of view, there is nothing more nonsensical and unreasonable than this.

Even though I was just a kid, Gibson broke up Cakewalk and made the Z3TA+2 unavailable.

Now that I finally have my own job and am trying to obtain it legally, I am not being provided with the means to do so.

Why on earth can't I get the Z3TA+2 even in its original form when LennarDigital's Sylenth1 and reFX's Nexus & Vanguard are updated and available to us in better form in this day and age?

Is it myself I should be protesting against? or my birth parents or Avicii or Gibson or BandLab?

Unlike Video Game, it is not sold on used DVD. (Well, if you buy a Sonar DVD, it may have Z3TA+1 bundled with it, but it is extremely hard to find in my country).

I have already tried several alternatives: Serum, Massive, Sylenth1, Nexus, Synthmaster, etc. But it didn't work.

I can no longer be angry. I just want to get the Z3TA+2 legally.

I don't have time to lament my fate.

maybe try kvr for a re-sell from someone?
