Zebra 2.3 vs ZebraCM?

[michaelmoye]

Are ZebraCM presets/patches compatible with Zebra 2.3

And is there a comparison chart/list somewhere on the www between these two versions of Zebra

Thanks in advance.

• 2 x Z2 2.3 Oscillator with fixed GeoMorph waveforms, fixed OSC FX to Symmetry (for PWM) and Filter (for osc timbre). Each Osc can be set to single/dual/quad mode (but not eleven mode).
  1 x Z2 Noise module with its own low-pass and high-pass filters built in.
  1 x Z2 Filter (VCF, not XMF) with 19 sub-type modes available. These are the older 2.3 filter algorithms and not the newer 2.5 filter modes
  2 x Z2 Envelope with the advanced envelope settings available from the "more Env" tab at the bottom.
  3 x Z2 LFO including stepped mode (2 regular LFOs, 1 global LFO)
  1 x Z2 ModFX effect module (a Chorus, Phaser, or a Corus/Phaser hybrid effect called Phorus)
  1 x Z2 Delay effect module. This is the Zebra 2.3 Delay (2.5 added a few new features)
  1 x Z2 Reverb module. Again, this is the Zebra 2.3 Reverb.

There's a miniature version of the effects section from Z2 on the lower left allowing you to customize your effect chain.

The signal path is hardwired to:
[OSC1]->[OSC2]->[NOISE]->[VCF]->[MIX & FX]

The only hardwired modulation is LFO1 to OSC1 and OSC2 vibrato. Anywhere in the screenshot you see a knob or a box with "...", "ModWhl", "EnvX", "LFOX" is a modulation destination.

Playmodes are poly, legato, retrigger. ZebraCM does not have the newer duophonic mode or the new glide/glide2 and time/rate modes in 2.5.

All presets created with ZebraCM are loadable into Z2 2.3 and newer. You can expand on the original sound with Z2's set of modules and effects.

You should check out the ZebraCM soundsets in the free library at http://u-he.com/PatchLib/. You can even load these presets into a demo version of Zebra2 to see the signal path and OSC waveforms if you like.
