I haven't read the review, and doubt I will, so some cool quotes from it are welcome.
Zebra2 is well deserving of praise. Such terms as best are often meaningless, but Zebra2 does stand out from the crowd for a number of reasons. The GUI is exceptional. It is easy to work with, especially considering its complexity. CM's quote regarding the sound quality says it all. It has a vast sound palette. It can do classic synth patches, or complex evolving soundscapes with equal ease. I've tried every vst synth available on the Mac and for me it is clearly the best all round workhorse synth.
Congratulations Urs!

Yes congratuations!
Only drawback is that more producers will now know about this excellent synth, and will start using it. Oh well

Concerning the - always so hot - old-timer topic, I am 36. I think that Urs is the same age. I am not as wise, though.

I think, for the true synthheads and mega tweakers out here, there's a few defenite "must-haves", I could think about 3-4 from the top of my head - Zebra 2 defenitely being one of them. And it manages to still look and feel sort of "tamed", being more or less manageable for a mere guitar player like myself. Obviously, the sound quality is beyond question as well. What else can one say?

What I like about Zebra is that I can get it to sound "musical," there is a quality to its output that allows it to blend well with real analog gear, which is something I have never really been able to do with other softsynths or VAs.
