I need to program a couple of massive electro house leads tomorrow using Zebra 2. The closest I could think of an example is the new The Producers track Bender.

What would you recommend? I assume one approach is to line up all four Oscillators in a row with a VCF and detune each oscillator somewhat. But are there other techniques to get that glitchy/fat electro sound? Thx, Kent

You mean like the Old Dustsucker in Howard's bank?

Ok, I will take a look at that one for more patch work. I think a lot of the electro house synth sounds are massive variations of old Jupiter and other Roland synths, but that's my guess (been a while since I last played on my Jupiter-6...). --Kent

I programmed a fantastic hoover sound on Z2 (demo) last night, 4 OSCS, each containing a custom Saw ( like |\|\ rather than |\ ) , each one a different octave, each one detuned heavily, and each one set to QUAD. All routed through: EQ > LPMidDrive Filter > Compressor. Was almost too fat!!! Can't wait to buy the full version of this fantastic synth!

Dustsucker was a good starting point, made a new preset from that one. I will try out the detuned four oscillator saw tooth receipe, suspect a lot of the interesting fatness comes from detuning many oscillators, if I could modulate the detuning as well, and even the used oscillator form, that would make it more organic. --Kent

You can modulate the detuning and the osc waveform too
