A zebra has many stripes and it eats grass.

It's a workhorse with black and white colors like a piano

Acronym. Zorch-Enhanced Block/Routing Architecture. It was just going to be called 'BRA' with the byline 'Because its the tits' but then Howard got involved.
my other modular synth is a bugbrand

"exotic" looking power horse! :D

Zebras also run in large packs so Urs expected to sell quite a few... :hihi:

You earn your synth stripes with Zebra. It teaches you about sound. THEN YOU ARE ZEBRA. See you at the stripey singularity!

I always assumed it was something to do with the fact that the UI was arranged in vertical stripes: generators, grid, modulators, and then the grid in 4 "stripes". I think I may be overthinking this though. Zorch-Enhanced Block/Routing Architecture sounds far more likely :D
