This is a very nice and useful soundset. Great work. Thumbs Up!
Almost all pads and polysounds immediately went to my favourites list in Zebra. What i like most:
- creative but not overdone use of Zebra's synthesis functions
- many presets with fm and ringmod "algorithms" (e.g. DX_Shrine, DX_EP) that i can use for my own tweaks/creations
- rather dry sound, no overuse of the built in fx
- this soundset seems to be made for musicians/composers, i.e. it's not a collection of wierd fx and atmos only. sure, i like complex sounds as well, but i personally think there are enough around already.
- XY-pads and many controllers are programmed in all sounds. i have the xy-pads mapped to an old Novation RemoteZeroSL. right hand playing keys, left hand tweaking knobs, erm, i need a third hand for the mouse. Laughing

The reverb like fx from ValhallaÜberMod (attention: Valhalla fan speaking Embarassed) fit perfectly on the pads.

So again, great sounds, 3ee! and the price is a steal. Hope to see more soundsets from you in the future.

Cheers,
Gerald

Yes, great work. Inspiring patches. Enjoyed the dynamic FM offerings and general "playability" of most of the set. I noticed nearly all sounds can be quickly transformed into one of the various other types with envelope shaping. Nice aftertouch and velocity mods as well. I do hope you are designing some sounds for Diva. Your resources would be well applied on that inst as well Smile Great

You need to click on the link that says to take you back to your site, and there's the download. Smile


OK, what was the exact text? .. so I can mention something about that on the release page. I tried to test-run a transaction using my PayPal account, but PP knew it was me HiHi ... so yeah, it didn't get through.

I'm sorry. I don't remember the exact wording. Sad It just said something to the effect of "Return to X" where X is your site, but the link is to your download.

I just did what felt natural. btw take a look at the mod matrix section HiHi some patches are "unfinished" as I didn't had more space. :true story:

Some people will maybe associate "dry" with a lack of something... but I feel that you are not hinting in that direction at all Smile

My aim was to get the instruments as good as possible and use effects only for a final touch in most cases (as they are already in place, you can always step on the "wet" pedal if you need to! ) Smile

Yep musicians/composers + not only imho. Very Happy

The XY controls where probably the most time consuming, in most cases they took more... or way more time that the instrument itself.

Just listened to the demo. Very nice indeed! Contratulations. This is an auspicious debut sound set. Hope there will be more forthcoming.

Will certainly be placing my order this weekend.

Cool, glad you like it!
Well, don't know if I'm working to slow, or patch banks like these are very time consuming to create Laughing ... but yeah, of course there will be more!

Special intro price will probably will available till around 8 March... so you have plenty of time! Smile

Thanks a lot for the Winter.
Love the sounds, especially the plucked stuff.
Zebra does plucked/mallet sounds best imo.
Great work.
Bye.

That's blocked too. HiHi
BTW...never suggest a proxy for anyone who uses it to buy things or enter p words. None of those are secure. Sad
A "good" vpn works, and is secure but not cheap.

The Winter is a good set, and I also really like the graphic design work.
Did you do those graphics 3ee?

Hey thanks, glad you like it! Smile
I bet Zebra is really good at just about anything but we didn't discover it's full potential yet. Where's the 2.6 release already??! Crying or Very sad HiHi

Yes, GIMP is awesome AFAIK-to use it! Smile ..a bit annoying to get used to though, especially if you had a little taste of Photoshop. Very Happy
