EDIT: MCnoone's patch Wavewarping won this contest, followed by my Pingcussion and Elxicano's Optimus Primordius. See here for the full results.

Here's where you can vote for your favourite patches in the second patch contest.
(And only votes in this thread please - there is a thread for discussion here.)
Get the patches here:
http://u-he.com/PatchLib/presets/z2/ZPC-02.zip
There are two folders Original and Normalized. The Normalized folder contains patches which bmrzycki has attempted to match for level. The patches in the Original folder are unaltered.
To audition the patches unzip and place the folders in U-He > Presets > Zebra2.
Patches with a '+' use one or more XY pad. Some patches have additional information under the patch 'info' button (top right in the Zebra UI next to the patchname).
As ever, there's obviously been a fair amount of work gone into these patches, so give them all a good hearing.
Once you've decided which you prefer post your favourite three patches in descending order like this:
1. favourite
2. next favourite
3. well, you get the idea..
We'll use the same totting up system as last time - 1st=3 points, 2nd=2, 3rd=1
Voting will run for one week from today, the winners announced next Tuesday.

Hi there,
let the games begin. My vote for the second contest:
1. Optimus Primodius+
2. Pingcussion
3. Clavibrut
Interesting input/approaches also from all the others. I will go back to each of the patches to learn from them for own creations. Which, unfortunately, will not be of the same quality though
.
Enjoy

1. Pingcussion
2. Fecker
3. Optimus Primordius
These were really good. I liked this premise better than the first...no multi-oscillator crutch. It really illustrates the power of what's built into the individual modules, too.
Choosing the order was kind of tough, and I picked Pingcussion because of the highly enlightening use of MSEG...I've been using my synths for drums more than anything else lately, and this is a great "sequencing" idea...play a beat with one key. Or play two or three keys staggered a bit, and get weird delays. I can see where modulating it further with an LFO to slightly change the pitch and strength of notes is another mind-bending possibility. Love it.
I should have turned mine in early...I was stupid and blew it off yesterday. Too busy making music I guess. I would have been the only contestant who picked a noise module, too.
Enjoy if you'd like: Klodversation (you might have to right-click save, because it's just the raw patch)
Don't expect something you'll ever use in a song

Wow! Some really great patches, here.
Dr. Cosmo did not work on my version of Zebra (I think I'm still on an older version, like, 2.2...change scares me ), but of the others, here are my picks:
1: Wave Warping
2: Optimus Primodius
3: Clavibrut
Make sure you check out the X-Y performance assignments, before voting.

Tough decision. I'll be honest, I didn't like them all, but picking only 3 is really hard. Here are my choices at this minute:
1. Pingcussion+ (simple concept well executed but with an interesting technique at its core)
2. Wave Warping+ (just fun to tweak with on the XY pads)
3. drone song (again, just fun to tweak with only the mod wheel and aftertouch)
Elements+ and Optimus Primodius+ just missed the cut, sorry.

1) Wave Warping
2) Mutant Voicy Brass
3) Drone Song
With all three (and many others in the set), I think the use of oscillator tables is interesting in how some rich structures can be built into the patch by cleverly matching the tables and modulations of their index.
