Zircon Studios has released Dance & Electronic Sounds Volume 2, a collection of 64 presets created by Zircon Studios (Andrew Aversa) for u-he's Zebra 2 synthesizer.

A follow-up to the first volume, which focused mainly on genres like trance, house, breakbeat, and DNB, this volume expands on the first by taking advantage of Zebra 2's more powerful features like MESGs and the new XMF filter. Genres covered range from hard trance, to progressive/minimal, new age, big beat, and ambient, as well as various 'classic' patches and physical models. As with the first bank, instant playability and ease of use in a mix were top priorities. All the patches were optimized for volume and X/Y control by tas (of www.tasmodia.com sound design).

Dance & Electronic Sounds Volume 2 costs $15 but Zircon Studios is also offering a bundle deal, where new buyers can purchase both Dance & Electronic volumes for a discounted price of $25, with all 128 patches organized into appropriate folders for easy browsing.
