Budding Bloom Series - Diverging from the sci-fi universe of the Bloom Infinity Series, the Budding Bloom Series centers on Asian mythological creatures and sacred artifacts, featuring whimsical, psychedelic landscapes hand-drawn by independent artists.

Triple Animal Voice Engine - Whether you desire cat-like, amphibian-inspired, or equine-style synth textures, the integrated 3-voice polyphonic synthesis responds with surgical precision. By tweaking character parameters, these playful animal sounds transcend mere novelty sound effects. They evolve into wondrous, playable instruments that blend seamlessly into your chord progressions and stay perfectly in sync with your solo performance.

Organic, Breathing Sound Fusion - Ignite a bizarre chemical reaction between your dry signal and these primal animal voices. Far from simple layering, South Zoo reacts instinctively to your picking dynamics. Strum gently, and the synth voice remains tucked beneath, breathing softly; dig in, and the the synth voice becomes more aggressive and expressive. This visceral, high-stakes response ensures the animal emulations truly come alive during your improvisations.

Taming the Line Between Expression and Chaos - You have total command over the "obedience" of these creatures. Engage precise tracking, and the voices will tightly latch onto your pitch, acting as a melodic choir for your guitar lines. Sever the tracking, and they instantly devolve into a flat, lifeless drone. This seamless transition from melodic harmonizing to glitchy, Lo-Fi mechanical noise provides immense room for avant-garde sound design.

Hold to Unleash! Invert Pitch Follow & Infinite Freeze Textures – Press and hold the footswitch to unlock a hidden dimension beneath your feet. Trigger the curious Invert Pitch Follow: strike the low frets to evoke high-pitched feline mews, or wander into the upper registers to plunge the synth into a deep, guttural roar. This frequency complementarity between your dry signal and the synth voice instantly creates a massive, immersive soundstage. You can also instantly freeze the current animal vocalization, stretching it into a persistent, bizarre wall of sound—perfect for injecting absolute dramatic tension into song transitions or live climaxes.
