Well you are awesome for the free upgrade, but everyone has a point where they have to start charging upgrade fees.
I'm just saying that it would be cool if the upgrade prices in the future could stay reasonable, Maybe $50 instead of $100..
From what I can tell the sampler in Live is just a 1 sample 1 layer across the kb time stretching sampler which will be very cool, but won't play soundfonts or traditional sampler files.
Like I said, I hope the audio in function works in Live 4 so we can run this sampler through Zebra & ringmod, etc...
But as far as a replacement for the NN-XT, I think there's only Halion, Kontact, Sampletank(no SF2), Unity(weird & out of business?),& MachFive.
Those are too huge/expensive/cpu piggy though.
I might try out VSamp.

Urs, you wouldn't by chance have any background in the trackers of the C64 or Amiga? Some of your demo tunes just seemed to harken back to those days in such a strong way. ZebriForge and especially ZebraAccoustic brought such a big smile to my face. Thanks.

PS: As a recent switcher to the Mac, I look forward to purchasing Zebra in the near future.

I put other. I thought about putting funny user comments, as there is one in particular that i find myself strangely fascinated by. 
Other - well I had used Urs' other beautiful plugs, so when the beta demo came out, I downloaded it and then bought the thing about 5 mins later (according to Urs I have virtual serial number 3
). Let's face it, Zebra has a sound that's just stunning for a softsynth, and 1.5 is amazing - from any large developer it probably would have been a v.3. The best thing about Zebra for me is that it actually curbed any gearlust I had for about 7 or 8 months (which is a major record for me). I can honestly say that if I had to have only one softsynth, the choice would be easy, Zebra's just the

well the program as demo of course, and to be honest the price (introduction at the time) as well.

Well, lalo, let's make a bet. If I don't make it this year, you get a free copy. If I do make it in 2005, you grab a license. Sounds fair?
Cheers,

Heh, sorry, but GroupBuys are pretty much not so in my plans... I mean, there already was one... at least, I won't make it more expensive than Z1, even though you get a lot more bang for the bucks.
We'll see
Cheers,

I voted "other"... but hey.
Anyways, I think one of THE top buying arguments might be superb sound at an incredibly low CPU overhead. Guess for what they do, the U-He synths are amongst the most efficient you can find out there. So you're not limited in taking advance of all the kickass features.

Cheers,
some developers have a nice way of telling some release date information.
Seriously, I voted other. The demo songs are not my cup of whatever. But some sounds in there are really good. The filters do sound very good to me.
I'm not a fan of stupid things like " Zebra is a next-generation virtual synthesizer plug-in." This is simply a joke. Either it "is" or "next generation". Future today? OK, having said that I'm really interested what Z2 will be like. And I'm on windows too but I won't make that deal.
A demo first is a good thing.
The website is simple looking but informative and looks kinda cool. The very detailed info of the internals of your plugins is cool to read. Information without (as much as I remember) any marketing bla. Nice take.
All the best, FRitz
In the end will be the word.

One more thing Urs,
why not reading over all the texts again to find stuff like: " Some additional waveforms, derived from interesting spectra have already been hardcoded into Zebra, with more to come until final release."
Isn't it released yet?
Best wishes, FRitz
