I bought Zebra some months ago after demoing quite a few of the soft synths on the market. I am by no means a synth expert and lack ability to do any serious programming myself. And to be honest, I like to play, but I'm not that interested in programming. In other words, I rely on others to create patches.
What struck me when demoing Zebra was the quality of the patches that come with the synth, which was also the reason that I ultimately purchased it. That, and the fact that I liked the sound of the synth. Don't ask me why, but I just did. I don't know if that is a result of the synth being exceptionally good or that the patches are well programmed. Perhaps both.
Now, some months later, I've used Zebra more than I thought I would ever use a synth. The main reason is that I find the patches incredibly musical, inspiring and usable. So, thanks to Urs for a great synth and for the many hours I've spent enjoying playing it and also to the person or persons who created all the wonderful factory patches.
Who has created the Zebra factory patches?

Add another +1 thank you to Howard. It always amazes me how he gets the sounds he does with 2-3 modules. Rarely do his patches seem to have more than that.
Proof he intimately understands each module and the desired sound he was after. He even pops onto the forum once in a while for sound design advice.
