Some stuff reminds me to the Wavestation after stem cell treatment

Nice one for the sounds. I have been trying to create a Blade Runner type brass sound for a bit and could not get the right sound until I tweaked one of your sounds a little and got it perfect for my needs. It sounds fantastic. Thanks again. The sounds are very good. Nice little touches to a lot of them.

Menno has always had a good handle on Vangelis type sounds - some of his G2 patches are also very "that greek guy" influenced and sound great for BladerunningBaz_Masterplan wrote:Nice one for the sounds.

Thanks for all the kind comments. I really appreciate your
feedback. Sorry for the CPU hits, sometimes I got carried away
On the other hand, I've used modular synths where you only
have 1-3 voice polyphony max. So in that respect, Zebra isn't
too bad.

Stunning sound design in this collection!
I can't believe how close you come to the sound of brass instruments!

I thought it would be okay to let my Zebra have some of this food, but it just kept eating and eating and eating, and I tried to stop it, but the sounds were too good. Oh the Zebrumanity! Now it just lays there on the ground moaning. Please advise.

Yeah, those brass patches are stunningly realistic.
There's so many gorgeous patches here. It's difficult to choose favourites, but right now I really like Soda Pop, Falling Down, Cee-Es-Eighty, Stars End, Muted Trumpet, Noisy Flute and I could go on. Without doubt the best free Zebra Soundset. Thanks Menno.
I'd be interested to hear how he goes about building his physical models. I'm guessing that to some extent there is an analytic approach at work there. The eqing in the Violin patch, for example, seems to come close to the frequency response of an energised violin body - so was this planned, or has Menno perhaps got a very good ear and an intuitive understanding of how to arrive at a particular sound?

I was browsing the presets this afternoon when I came across the Swell Strings preset. This sounds amazing. I immediately realized that this would fit an episode of an animated series that I am working on. I loaded it up and laid down the sound score. Great job! These are really top notch.
