is that sarcasm or are you calling me silly?
regardless, they go in /system/Library/Audio/Presets/u-he/Zebra2/ for global, or ~/Library/Audio/Presets/u-he/Zebra2/ for user.
as per the instructions oin the online manual.

(and yes the folder was u-he on my system, i just didn't type it out properly)

Yes, you have the user path right, but you should be aware that there are two different preset types. The default ones are specific to Zebra2 and won't show up in the AU preset browser list, only the zebra browser, as it states in the readme when you download. To get the preset library in the usual AU format, you can download it from the site.

It's also stated on the download page. The same thing holds true for .fxbs/.fxps for VST; you have to download them separately.

Zebra's one of my favorite synths :)

hey just tried to buy the full zebra (144 euros at the moment anyway...) and couldnt, cos apparently my email adress isnt good enough? They say you cant use a free email adress.... i thought most email adresses were free? why do they do this?
i want to pay by credit card and get a quick download.
Should i just go get a "proper" (i.e paying) web adress?
where can i get one?

thanks

Sure! - There's a lot of dudes that I admire for what they do, even though they work for competing companies.

Thing is that most of us get along with each pretty well. We use to meet up on trade shows and have lots of beers. That's the great thing among the independent audio developers, such as FXpansion, Camel Audio, PSP and Ohmforce. We all share the same love to do what we do, which gives us some kind of comunity feel rather than being competitors.

That's referring to such things as a Hotmail or Yahoo email account. Use the one that your ISP gave you and you're set.

Oh... don't put them in MacHD/System/Library/... just MacHD/Library/...

Please note also that the paths are case sensitive. Everything starts with a capital letter except for u-he

As ew already stated, the presets specific to plugin types (.aupreset, .fxp) come as separate downloads. 1365 .aupresets are 14 MB, while my own patch format (.h2p) is considerably smaller - and works crossplatform in all versions. It can just not be loaded through host interfaces, which are usually more tedious than the one in Zebra's gui.

I mainly use a doepfer modular, the nord micro modular and a dsi evolver which I'll probably sell. I guess in an instrument like Zebra with a highly modular level of complexity I actually find patchcords to be more intuitive than pulldown menus and routing matrices. It took me a while to figure out how to turn the reverb off.

Anyway, thanks for the responses. I think I need to delve into it more deeply because judging by all of these responses I'm missing something special and probably didn't give it a fair chance.

I now own Zebra 2.0, thanks to Urs for the assistance and discount. Very happy with my "purchase".

Zebra 2. Oh dear god.
