u-he has released three new thematic soundbanks for Zebra2: New York City by Alexander Hacke, Stratospheres by BIGTONE and DancePack by Nick Moritz and Xenos Soundworks.

New York City ($39) is the new patch bank for Zebra2 by Alexander Hacke of the famous German post-industrial band Einstürzende Neubauten. Hacke's work has influenced many musicians around the world, and the musical genre Industrial would certainly not be the same without him. In this patch collection, Hacke combines his love for New York City with his love for Zebra2. A musical homage, a cinematic soundtrack that captures the flavor of various New York locations. Some sounds are playable chromatically, others tell an entire story within a single note. Always read the patch info, and always try the XY controls for extra expression.

Stratospheres ($30) is the sequel to the Chronospheres set. BIGTONE presets a brand new bank, with the main focus on meticulous emulations of classic analogue sounds. Great care has been taken to ensure that all patches remain rich and expressive across several octaves: all sounds are truly playable.

DancePack: ($39) Nick Moritz and Xenos Soundworks have pooled their resources to create a collection of drums & percussion, megasaws / hoovers, edgy digital noises and psychedelic leads. Comprising both Inspiration and Zebra Energy, DancePack was engineered to satisfy the demands of all cutting-edge Dance, House or Drum 'n' Bass producers today.
