An extremely versatile synth, and a subset of the fully featured Zebra 2: "Zebralette has two LFOs (one per voice, one global), a multi-stage envelope and three on-board effects (chorus, EQ, delay). Not forgetting Zebra2's famous dual spectral effects, which include several squelchy filter algorithms."

KVR Mix Challenge (see stickies) - Who can mix a song the best (Without adding extra recordings /musical additions)? Each person starts out with the same stems.

Thanks BJ,

Zebralatte sounds yummy. Maybe coded with Java?

Cool choice!

Ooohhh...dang! This is gonna be fascinating. Zebralette is nothing short of amazing. If you want to know just how talented a sound designer you are, here's your chance to find out. Seems like this thing has the potential to take you almost anywhere imaginable. Gorgeous, solid and inspiring, I find. The sound of it has this touch of perfection, though, one could almost argue that it sounds "too perfect", hehehe, it's so round and clean, somehow. But, I think, I can lost in days upon days of sound editing. I would say: There goes October for any other activities, hahaha!

Brilliant. Can't wait to hear what all of you will do with it!
Great choice, Brian!

...gives from all those wildly experimental months a bit of a break!

One of the first free that makes me say wow - The battle strong will be young jedi

Wow, this should be a real challenge, and not the frustrating kind

Already found some nice melodies to work with when playing with preset, will dive deep into sound design next.

Scrubbing Monkeys · Post by **Scrubbing Monkeys** » Mon Oct 02, 2017 5:21 pm

Anyone know if the waveforms start at key press or are free running?

Daru925 · Post by **Daru925** » Mon Oct 02, 2017 5:41 pm

OP zebramoccha's demo track on soundcloud is noisetar's.

@Scrubbing Monkeys : Free running by default, and you can enable reset in the phase panel.

Reset
Reset causes the wave to start at the same position (set by Phase) every time a note is
played.
