Hey, thought this bit of news might be of interest to people here. I recently released an album, entitled Antigravity, that heavily used Zebra 2 for a lot of the tracks. For the first 4 or 5 that I wrote, Z2 wasn't around yet, but after I picked it up and continued writing, it played a bigger and bigger part. Besides sounds from my own preset bank(s), I also used/edited things from the factory bank. And this is before Transmission even came out!

Listen to previews and order here!

It's also available for $10 on iTunes (DRM protected) or $11.99 at my store (WAV, no DRM). The style is similar to artists like BT, Prodigy, Chemical Brothers, Fatboy Slim, Crystal Method, and Hybrid. If you're fans of any of those you'll definitely like this one.

Anyway, just thought I'd share that. This synth has been incredibly useful in my EDM tunes (and otherwise) since I got it and I really can't recommend it enough. Even besides this album I've used it for class assignments, remixes, sketches, etc - my other synths are really collecting (virtual) dust.

Thanks for the comments everyone! For the record Mindbender relied on Zebra 2 pretty heavily for a bunch of the parts. For example I used it to do the arpeggiated pattern during the breakdown that gets reversed and panned around.

Normally I don't like double posting but it's been a month, and I wanted to announce that the album is now out and shipping. It's also available in discounted, digital form. See first post for details.
