Any Zebra owners want to make a quick $50 bucks? I want to start this product off on the right foot with a good audio MP3 demo for this soundset. If you got the talent, have Zebra 2.5 and like Dubstep and DnB, PM me, show me some examples of your work, then we'll get started.

Here are the guidelines:

-- Preset walkthrough, playing some catchy chops on ~50% of the patches. No need for an actual song or full-on musical composition lol. We're just giving the people an idea of the sounds included in this set and what they're capable of.

-- 5 - 6 minutes in length.

-- MUST use or automate all included MIDI hookups in each patch you use: modwheel, velocity (in some patches, the velocity modulates envelope parameters), aftertouch, and when applicable, pitchbend (in wobble type basses, I often route the wobble speed to the pitchbend wheel). Like the Predator banks, these patches are designed with emphasis on realtime, manual control over various parameters...that way each patch can still have its own signature character depending on who is using it, pluse that leaves me more LFOs/envelopes to use on other parameters

.

-- Drum loops are allowed if you like to use those.

Great news!
I am an happy owner of your Forever 80s soundset, and being also a dubstep listener i will buy your new bank for sure!

Here are my suggestions/feature requests:
wobble basses a lot
Reese galore
some techy percussions sounds (clap, hats or kick maybe)
some fx (swoosh, rising white noise and similar)

ok, now you can call me Capitain Obvious:

Keep up the good job Xenos, any deadline o date to release the bank?

Xenos · Post by **Xenos** » Sat Feb 12, 2011 5:08 pm

Hey thanks, alphadelphi

. Sure, most of them are Captain Obvious, but I missed the percussion sounds lol. You're in luck, though...Zebra makes some really nice percussion due to its modular architecture.

Xenos · Post by **Xenos** » Tue Feb 15, 2011 11:45 am

Moving right along...55 sounds and counting

.

Hi, here's my bank addition suggestion:
-short and long dnb sirens
-few classic iconic recreations like a hoover, reese, 808 bd (with sub trail and tuned) + a few simple solid sounds for each category (very usefull for contrasting with complex sounds)
Cheers
3ee

Anyone else care to add anything?

At this writing, we're at 73 patches and counting. I originally planned to stop at 64, but naaahhhh...we'll keep going. I've got someone working on an audio demo right now and we'll just keep adding additional patches until he is done.

alphadelphi · Post by **alphadelphi** » Wed Feb 16, 2011 1:33 pm

Feature request: please divide patches in folder (bass, lead, fx, perc...)
So easy, so useful!

Xenos · Post by **Xenos** » Thu Feb 17, 2011 10:20 pm

Hi alphadelphi

Normally I use prefixes on patch names (BA, LD, PD, FX, etc) to serve that purpose, but as this bank is getting dangerously close to 100 patches, your idea is a good one. We'll separate the final product into nested folders for ease of use

...almost done

. 98 sounds and 2 to go. Here's the plan:

I'll have the bank available for purchase on the website in a an hour or so, but we won't consider it officially released until I have the demo uploaded (someone else is working on that and I have to wait until he's done before I can make it official). Intro price will be only $8.95 USD until March 1st.

BTW, I think those of you who liked the Dubstep/DnB series for Predator are really gonna like this one!

Xenos · Post by **Xenos** » Sat Feb 19, 2011 7:14 am

OK, the set is done and available for purchase. Have fun with these, guys

.

Xenos · Post by **Xenos** » Sun Feb 20, 2011 8:47 am

Temporary MP3 uploaded:
http://xenossoundworks.com/resources/Ze ... Demo+X.mp3

The official demo by a different author (3ee at KVR) should be available within a few days, though.

Xenos · Post by **Xenos** » Mon Feb 21, 2011 8:33 am

Holy freaking sh*t!!...orders sent, guys

. To the new customers, I apologize for the wait as orders are currently delivered manually (and I just rolled out of bed lol). Looks like this one's going to be very popular once 3ee is done and we can announce it elsewhere.....

Xenos · Post by **Xenos** » Fri Feb 25, 2011 1:17 am

Ok, I've edited the original post and added 3ee's excellent new demo. Any patch designers out there looking for a good demo writer, let it be known he's a good guy to work with, talented, and sticks to guidelines very, very well.

Urs, whenever you need audio demos for future synths you create, I'd highly recommend him for that job
