Thanks chaps!

Howard - yep, I agree, definitely. The more people who get stuck into Zebra and find its hidden depths, the better for the whole community.

I'm sure this won't be the last patch collection for Zebra - who knows what's gonna be coming out of u-he's secret labs in the future...

Absolutely love the sound demo, very impressive stuff! Also kudos for using a VBR mp3 unlike most other manufacturers using a crappy 128 kb / sec mp3 for their sound demos.

Just paid via paypal and looking forward to the new patches! All weekend and nothing to do but spend some quality time with my pet Zebra

Hey beej, just wanted to congratulate you on this release. I bought it as soon as I heard the demo. Which patches were used, btw?

beej · Post by **beej** » Sat Apr 14, 2007 12:59 am

Ah, I knew someone was going to ask that! Bear with me, I'll go and do you a list...

(And thanks!)

Ok, patches used in the Transmission sampler demo:

(Plucked & Struck) "A Quiet Moment" - mellow electric piano
(Pads) "Mahogany" - pad which comes in
(Pads) "Modular Life" - the LFO-modulated filter pad over the top
(Pads) "Morphasine" - the Wavestation-esque, er, morphing sine pad
(Pads) "Sub Ether" - big ambient pad
(Rhythmic & Arpeggiated) "Flitting Betsy" - the repeating and echoed synth patch
(Rhythmic & Arpeggiated) "Filtrater" - the tight synth MSEG phrased synth with the 32nds in it
(Rhythmic & Arpeggiated) "Razorshine" - digital synth with reverberated and rhythmic tails
(Rhythmic & Arpeggiated) "Dancing Prophets" - 16th note synth sequence
(Rhythmic & Arpeggiated) "Kosmeyer" - the vowely synth sequence
(Modern Synth) "Quad Nation" - the trancey lead
(Modern Synth) "Serendipity" - the filter resonance-y ambient synth bit
(Modern Synth) "Vintage Dreams" - the big washy digital synth bit
(Ambiences, FX & Soundscapes) "Phrozen Domes" - icy, ethereal scrapes
(Basses) "Xtra Funk Machine" - Bass
(Classic Synth) "Gartside" - analog pulse poly synth
(Organic) "Morning Fire" - glitchy, ambient beautifulness (I love this patch! Try doing that on Synth1

)
(Pads) "Treacle" - the pad that comes in with a deep thick bass note
(Modern Synth) "Hard Res Syncer 2 (Bad Cables!)" - the sync bend patch
(Leads) "Mini Sync Lead" - the morphing lead patch (with apologies for the playing!)
(Pads) "Arcadia" - nice pad
(Pads) "To The Infinite Pad" - another smooth pad
...and a couple notes from the first "A Quiet Moment" patch to finish off, because I just like it a lot!

All of these were used plain at the default XY positions, with no controller stuff going on, except "Quad Nation" where I was raising the mod wheel to open the filter, because, well, it's a trance lead patch, it seemed rude not to!

It's going to take quite a while to really get into the depths of this... I'm just enjoying the sound and playability so much

Okay, so now I'd like a portable, hardware (I know, I know!) version of Z2.
Nothing too extravagant: 25 keys with aftertouch, 16 knobs/sliders and 4 touchpads, and at least 4 parts multi-timbral... then we're away!

(Actually, better make that 37 keys, just to be safe)

Great job on this soundset!!

I only had a chance to play with it for about 20 minutes but loved what I heard.

Thanks for the list of presets used on the demo, beej.

Once again, a superb job on your part.

The only question here really is:

Do you want fries with that?

Sounds fantastic !!! Great work

Very nice patches, and I really like the patch template idea. Also, kudos for the excellent documentation (and for the skin, which for me is kinder on the eye than the default one).

Great Stuff. Some really useful patches.
I have only one request. A way to audition and change patches without using the mouse would be useful. Or have I missed the obvious?
