For some of my projects I used (somewhat maligned, occasionally) Z3Ta+ 2 synth by Cakewalk. The migration is always painful, but with this thing it is a whole new dimension of torture and misery. :-)

Thing is, activating it is a very non-straightforward process, and having proper CD keys for Steam-based version in my case proved insufficient.

It even have changed a bit since 2022. Thankfully, there is now good instructions on this matter. After just a second attempt it worked :-) Turned out, it was mostly about using the newer (customized?) version of SteamReg executable – then you’ll have to run a command from the CMD utility, using your serial number.

Over the years I have accrued a bunch of Z3Ta+ 2 patches in FXP format. Sharing them now as a ZIP archive at Google Drive folder. These are the patches I’ve actually used and will probably use again. Some part of them had been dialled up from scratch, others are heavily edited factory ones.

Now, somewhere out there was a ‘Virus’ mod for Z3Ta. Gonna take a look if I find it.
