Just played with the patches (that I won - how generous!) for a while. I can only say: Fantastic. Almost a must have for Zebra 2 owners.
Almost all of them seem to be extremely useable as well, so there's not too much "one key wonders" (there are some amazing ones of those, too), but they ask for being played. Which, IMO, is absolutely positive! So, in case you're not doing hard rock (or any other guitar-ish stuff), there's always a place to use these patches in whatever musical context. Excellent!
And while the few moments I had with them might be not enough to actually rate them, as it seems, the experience will only be getting better once I use them in some songs.
Cheers and thanks!

If it was my choosing i wouldnt have the directory structure start with ambient stuff cause it can be tricky to figure out what to do with it. But A is first in the alphabet sooo heh heh
If we all used same host, same computer, same everything it would be very easy to explain the whats and why's but i hope you do take the time to setup the MIDI files and save them with the correct patches because its a great guide to see how patches were ment to be played, thats is IF you cant see the purpose of a patch
As an example try play around the the patch named Dark Skies from the PADS dir. After playing for awhile you think you figured it all out but nopes, try play and hold this chord = C5 D5 E5 G5 A5 at velocity 60 and whoops where did that flute like thing and Elf people like sound come from ? Thats the sound which is all over the S L O W Pads demo MP3 track.
So always stay open, dont assume a patch only can sound like one thing. Be sure to try out soft playing - hard playing, Modhweel, Aftertouch etc...
Ok thats my FIRST advice
I'd be happy to give more if you like

Funny you mention that cause 1 year ago i posted THIS on these forums:fab m. wrote:Nice demos for your sounds Michael, well done. I hear also sylvian/sakamoto's "moods" in some of those sounds...
http://www.michaelkastrup.com/synthdemo ... kamoto.mp3
If Urs think real real hard he will remember that he said it sounded a bit like Sakamoto
The patch itself is a bit rogue like which means you dont have full control of all whats happening so i had to limit it somehow and it turned in to be the MK Big in Japan XY in the Stacks dir. Its the only patch which i have included from that periode cause i mostly used Zebra for creating additive waveforms at that time.

I sure remember it! And it's definately inspired by Sakamoto, innit!
