Because I don't want to write a frickin' book just to write a review, dumbest rule ever.

No wonder so many reviews are so old @ kvr (from before the rules were implemented)..

So URS - When do we get 3X Cheeze goodnes in Zebra?

Thinking about getting Zebra but I just got Absynth. I did dl the demo version of Zebra and love the interface. But unfortunate I'm going to have to buy this at the higher price in the future. Here's for a good cause!

Of course it will, why wouldn't it? Do you think everyone would be so excited if this wasn't universal binary and cross-platform? Did you even bother to look at the product page before jumping to conclusions?

I was referring to this:

"There is a minimum character count of 1000 and a maximum of 5000 for new reviews."

Wait and see, wait and see... I mean, most of 3Cheese is already doable in Z2, just the blown model has yet to find its way... oh, and some of the othrs...

Well, let's see...

My litmus for any plug-in synth is to always turn off ALL effects/Modulation and just take two saw waves using LP 12 or 24 filter and slightly detune them : see how close to the Oddity for sure raw 'warmth' I can get.

Z2 does a really nice job.

One thing it kills at is plucky/percussive/wood blocky sounds. Pulling Barbieri sounds all day long,,,,,,

After playing with it for a few days now I completely agree that it does some great percussive/plucked sounds! I think thats my favorite part about it so far.
Once again it's a synth with its own character that is complementing everything else very well...

Have you ever heard the patches the guy could pull out of an Ensoniq VFXSD

.......
Well my broke little pensioner's ass is still saving for Live 6 + Sampler + Operator so Zebra 2 is going to have to wait till some time next year

.
I am however totally loving TripleCheese at the moment.
Thanks for the freebie Urs.

Just placed my order.

Not only the sounds grabbed me, but the whole user interface makes it a pleasure to use.

Thanks guys for pointing me in the right direction.

My pleasure, just wanted to spread the love.

Judging by the number of similar comments, I think this thread may have funded a nice little vacation for urs! I'm sure he deserves it.

Also quite short on cash, I went straight for a Live 6 + Sampler + Zebra 2 combo

... And it's lovely. I figured I'll wait and see if I yearned for Operator enough somewhere in the future..

I have an origina(mint) REV2 Prophet 5 that's been midi'd: just like Richard's.

'Gentlemen Take Polarids' is a classic: especially my fav: 'Taking Islands in Africa'

I love setting up Live's Arp synced to my P5 and going off the deep end....

hi,

because of this thread, i went ahead and downloaded the demo of zebra, and am having a great time playing around with the presets, which sound fantastic.

but i am having trouble with the following preset, which is found in the Bass Preset section:

"HH click at the end"

I love the sound of the bass, but i cannot for the life of me remove the click at the end. I know my way around synthesizers, and feel like i should be able to remove the click, but can't. Is there an aftertouch modulation that i can edit? I really dont want to have to filter it out, because that would change the nice sound of the bass.

Any help?
Ben

Zebra 2. Oh dear god.
