ZebraCM might look more complete in terms of functions, but I notice a whole lot more zebralette's in my projects than ZebraCM's (or Zebra2's for that matter)

Zebratlette is very easy to tweak, and extremely capable (and comes with a ton of presets too)

1 Z2 OSC with all the features enabled, including loading custom waveforms
1 Z2 Envelope (minus the "+" menu allowing for different velocity modulations per slope)
1 Z2 MSEG
1 Global LFO (minus the user step mode from Z2)
1 regular LFO (minus the user step mode from Z2)
1 Z2 ModFX module
1 Z2 Delay module

A fixed signal path of: OSC -> ModFX -> Delay
(ModFX and Delay can separately be turned on/off)

Zebra CM has:

2 ZCM OSC with fixed waveforms and fixed OSC FX (they both have their own LP/HP filter as well)
1 Z2 Noise module
1 Z2 Filter (not XMF) with all 19 filter types
2 Z2 Envelopes w/velocity and keytrack tunables per segment)
2 Z2 LFOs including the user step mode (and a super nifty graphical view of the LFO)
1 Global LFO including the step mode
1 Z2 ModFX
1 Z2 Delay
1 Z2 Reverb

A fixed/variable signal path of: OSC1 + OSC2 + Noise -> VCF -> FX section

The FX section is a simplified Z2 FX section with a 3x2 matrix allowing you to chose which effect goes where. There's even a send/return function built in.

So which to choose? I personally think ZCM is a more complete synth than Zebralette. Considering that with Zebra 2.2 you can load Zebralette and ZebraCM presets, it's a nicer upgrade path.

Pick up any copy of Computer Music and you'll get a copy for Mac (UB AU and VST) as well as PC VST. The current shipping version of ZCM has a bug with OS X 10.5 and text input boxes which Urs has said he'll be sending CM an updated version in the future.

But really, for about $18 USD you get a really nice synth with a very good upgrade path.

CHEERS for all the info... YOU da MAN!

Yeah, the ZCM seems a cool way to go... Till I can afford the FULL BLOWN version

Thanks everyone for all your

You do know that Zebralette comes with the Zebra 2 Demo. It is in demo mode (don't recall if it starts to play random notes or hisses) but you could easily test it. You gotta buy ZCM though.

They should send a download link when you order a CM mag. Been waiting a few weeks now. They must be using a bike messenger
