I've read here: http://ve3d.ign.com/articles/news/59523 ... is-2-Score that Hans Zimmer is doing the music for Crysis 2. Since he's a big fan of Zebra there's a good chance we'll hear it in Crysis 2.

If anyone got more info please post.

You mean "has done" already right? It's dropping on 25 March in online stores (Steam etc) so I'd imagine the music's well finished by now

I just got around to watching 'Inception' yesterday and was really impressed with the music.
I had no idea Hans Zimmer did the score to that, but wow, what a job he did for the climax scene. He just pushed the tension; that part would not have been the same without the music.

And also not without the 52 Zebras that do the percussions

I know you've said it but somehow i am finding it hard to believe and a bit ridiculous that these percussions are Zebra

Some FX or pads i can get that but percussions...

They do sound amazing (percussions in Inception) but more like true Orchestra percussion library (or live recording)

So can you clarify on which part he used 52 zebras for percussions?

As far as Hans and Howie told me, they were triggered by live played drums.

Hans uses Zebra a lot for pseudo-realistic sounds, e.g. many of the "monks" in Angels & Demons are done with Zebra. There's even a 3-minute part with only choirs from Zebra and violin from Joshua Bell.

Whenever you hear a "synth" it's most likely to be a Moog Modular or a Roland System 700.

Zebra does incredible percussion... Overall, I think it is the best percussion synth you can buy.

If there's ever a percussion program mode with a way of mapping more sounds to the keyboard, it will easy be the best... and I'll probably be selling my new copy of Attack within the hour!

EDIT: I think 52 Zebras qualifies as a 'herd'

It's been on my todo list for 7 years. It'll eventually pop up.
