Juno MP3, please, then I'll "stoop" ;)
I'm looking forward to this!

Those Juno samples definitely make me think of the Synth Squad.

I second this 8). Thanks for saving my time, Paul.
( Daytime job is such a failure :lol: )

OK then. Just the very first sound (all others I heard there can be easily cloned in Zebra, but it would be a complete waste of my time!):

BTW: Zebra's filter sweep is not naturally steppy, but for the sake of the clone, I "stepped" it a bit using the wonderful Mod Mapper ;)

I'm not alone in this universe anymore.

Even with all work you've done, z - sounds higher and crunchier. That's exactly what i was talking about -- digital :lol: :lol: :lol:

P.S. Howard, are you working for U-he?

That is a close enough emulation that the difference is academic. I do hope you turned off the velocity sensitivity and also aftertouch cause the Juno had neither!

He used to. But he has had a zebrificant career boost:

He'll help out during Musikmesse and for further user manuals though 8)

I was thinking the exact same thing. I'm hoping Howard comes back and says his link is actually the mp3 from the Juno site just shortened. Nothing like the ol' placebo effect. :lol:

:hihi: I came back to say I spent a total of 8 minutes making that sound and posting the MP3 thereof. They sound closer if you balance volumes between the two, David B! All this is academic - Zebra can absolutely NAIL any Juno 106 sound but I refuse to prove it ;)

It's clearly missing a touch of oscillator instability, and the original has a bit of nasty clipping/noise either from the Juno or elsewhere in the recording chain. I consider H's replica to be an improvement in both areas. :D

I can't understand for the life of me WHY you'd want to nail an analog synth with a proudly out digital virtual.

No one wants to do the opposite, so WTF. :x

No worries, but didn't Mr. Z give you quite a lot of homework? :lol:

Before the flame of emulation war :lol: :lol: :lol: I was talking about digital sound of zebra and analogue of sylenth1. Thanks for proof of concept.

I don't mean "digital" is bad at all (It's horrible for my ears, but it doesn't mean bad for someone else). There's way more people listening to Rank 1 or Cosmic gate, rather than to Legowelt or Riders Of The Lost Arp (you know, what I mean)

[edited, since Urs is here] P.S.S. thanks to Urs for snippets in vst code archive. was very helpful back there.
