Uhmmm maybe we should update the contest rules, in order to limit the track duration...

For the hi-hat, starting from the "initialize" preset, choose "Crymple Sample" in Factory OSCs (big button in the waveform panel), then in FX 2 choose "Filter" (values ranging between 50-80 should work for a basic hihat), then tweak adsr values.

No clue about a decent snare, so far

I've come up with a miserably crappy/anemic snare that I hate, I think if I wash it in enough verb I can make it truly onerous...

Tell us how did you obtain this crappy/anemic/etc snare

Hehe, noise is tricky in Zebralette. You can create a noise-like sound by painting some random stuff into the wavetable in GeoBlend mode, sharpen a few times (right-click on waveform editor) and then add the Scrambler OscFX, maybe before the filter.

Nevertheless, maybe this OSC is te ideal opportunity to drop snares and add more cowbell

... or a zebrabell

Here's a quick attempt... very rough and synthetic... but still:

http://www.u-he.com/downloads/Zebra/UH_SynthSnare.h2p (right-click save as)

Adjust ADSR F/R for "slap back echo"

Well, yesterday i was doing some percussive sounds, when i finish some more, i will upload my percussive oddities for Zebralette so you could use or tweak them.

At the moment they are about 15 kicks, 5 strange electronic snares, and a couple of blips (hats) for those who find difficult making them.

If some of you have more percussive sounds, you could send to me so i could get all of them and making a bigger soundbank for Zebralette for percussive sounds, and upload it properly here, U-he presets and KVR soundbanks page.
If you are going to do it, please, write your name on the patch.
What do you think?

@Urs
You are amazing, and you know it

I felt a shake in OSC post when Urs posted the prize, like if people feel suddently "Time to win!"

Have a good day

I think this is a big reason I have stayed with the OSC, Great community of open minded folks. Our debate over introducing a commercial synth is a great example, there were some pretty strong views expressed, but it never got close to getting ugly, always stayed good-natured. Welcome and enjoy!
