Dance & Electronic Sounds Vol. 3 - your feedback wanted

[zircon]

Thanks. I've already used it along with a bunch of other patches (some from vol 1+2) in a remix I'm doing.

A few new clips:

www.soundtempest.net/z2fun.mp3

* Patch 1 = highly touch-responsive, analog-style (slightly dirty) lead
* Patch 2 = 'prog' lead, great for wankery
* Patch 3 = deep sweeping atmo pad, classic sound

With this collection, what I will probably do is offer the standalone as a $10 upgrade for people that bought the bundle of 1+2, and maybe a $5 upgrade to people that bought 1 and 2 separately (eg. as they came out.) Then I will replace the current sets on my site with one big, organized set of vol 1-3 available at $35. Since other commercial sets are about this price I don't want to go over them!! At that point I may simply add more presets for free, not sure if I have the energy to do ANOTHER 64 on top of what I'm doing now...

lol@patch2.

I'm over half done now and I gotta say I think this is easily the best volume yet. Some really great & useful stuff in all genres. Here are a few more patches;

Patch 1: Variant on a very common lead sound.. 'Revengeance Lead'
Patch 2: FM7-style seq motion.
Patch 3: Monstrous, dirty bass. Run it through some external distortion..
Patch 4: A proper disto teebee, which I haven't accurately captured before.

cool.. sounds great! I love patch 4!

[zircon]

Thanks.

By the way, here is an example of Zebra 2 in action (including two or three new patches from this bank) serving up the synths in a Pendulum-style Megaman remix I'm working on.

I'm thinking of getting packs 1&2...is there a discount for previous buyers? what's the cost?

[zircon]

The whole trilogy will be $35. If you bought 1&2 at once ($25) you would just need to send $10 to get volume 3, which would actually replace the existing folder with all 180+ patches organized together. OR if you just wait for volume 3 to be done, getting it all at once will be $35.

So regardless, obtaining all three will be $35. I may make some revisions to patches in banks 1+2 to make them even better, as since I did those I've used Z2 a lot more and learned even more about its nuances.

[nebulae]

Sounds good. I'll wait for the Trilogy release. Thanks, and keep up the good work!

[zircon]

Haven't forgotten about this folks.. just making sure all the patches are polished and high-quality. Might do another 5-10 more. Check out this new bass, "8bit Nightmare DNB".

No automation of any kind on the synth itself, no add'l processing besides some mastering track compression.

ps. The patch (and the notes used in the brief demo) are based on a DNB chiptune mix by Jake Kaufman, AKA virt. Credit where credit is due.

that third patch, the airy pad, sounds just like the opening of 808 State's "In Yer Face."
That's a good pedigree, if you ask me.

I'll add that I'd be interested in ZebraCM patches. I can't afford Zebra2...

[zircon]

Thanks for the comments guys!! If I had a copy of ZebraCM I would definitely do some patches for it..

really looking forward to this already have the other two releases.
