Don't.

There are probably less than a dozen people in the world that fully understand every module in Zebra. And even then I'd wager those select few are still surprised at times. There's a great moment when Urs is demoing the new XMF 2.5 filter modes on Youtube where he says "wow" to an unexpected resonance peak:

Just want to chime in to say that the new OscFX functions are great.
Seems, that Zebra gets some more and more "dirt" with the latest additions.
(which I like, that's why I finally bought it - ok, besides getting x64 versions and last but not least because of Urs dedication).

Btw, are there some typical "CZ" sounds - some classic ones, which I could have a listen to ? I'm still learning in regards to synth sounds, so I'd be greatfull for any hints.

Thanks and Cheers

First attempt at a bowed string type sound using the PhaseDist (CZ) OscFX. This is 1 osc module only in Zebra... plus some external reverb. The CZ FX is very cool cause it adds a new character to Zebra and will be good for lots of types of sounds including winds and strings...

Thanks Urs! Wonderful!

Nothing like a bit of Inverse-Cosine-Upramping-Sawtooth-Ripple-Wrapping on a Saturday afternoon.

Will Ripples II be playing in cinemas soon?

I know this is not directly related to the new features but I don't visit Kvr too often anymore : I was thinking to myself the other day in the train "I need to ask this guy I remember who did PM bell sounds in Zebra one of his patches".

Do you still have any of these patches I heard here probably 2 years ago

?

egads! that is a long time ago... I have plenty of bell patches but would have no idea which you are referring to and when my old machine died I lost some presets. Zebra is the best synth for bells bar none. What type of sound was it?
