Does anybody here have the Logic .cst patches for The Dark Zebra?

I saw your post here and on the logicprohelp forums. The Dark Zebra AU instruments are not factory patches, and include preset information that is baked directly into the filed. Not certain if that makes complete sense to you - but as noted in the post you quoted on logicprohelp -- "Please contact u-he for the zip". Much like the other AU instrument zip files that have been created.. distribution for these, is only directly through the team that created the sound set. This is to protect their IP.

hello, anp27,
those patches are (mostly) created for the ZebraHZ version of Zebra, are also boundled with that instrument.
there are some (about one third) of the patches that are usable with the 'basic' version of Zebra.
if one buys the ZebraHZ version, one also gets the patches (as far as my brain recalls, one must have one licensed copy of the 'basic' Zebra instrument, too).
sharing the patches, even in their logic preset version, would be a (serious) copyright infringement, as far as these things stand.
hope this clarifies somewhat (a search here, about this topic, might also be of some more help).
all the best...

No no everyone, I wasn't asking for the patches, but the .cst patches for Dark Zebra, don't worry... I purchased Dark Zebra and Zebra 2 earlier today. I thought I clearly wrote ".cst patches" in the thread title.
It's really strange that sharing the .cst patch isn't allowed because the .cst patches are openly shared here (scroll to the middle of the page): http://www.logicprohelp.com/forum/viewt ... &start=160
A few pages down you'll find the Diva .cst patches on the same thread.
For those of you who are unaware, .cst patches are merely 'directories' that Logic understands to make patch recalling fast and easy. They are completely useless if you don't own the synth already, that's for sure. I don't believe in cracking software, never have, never will.

hello, anp27,
as far as my brain, again, was able to recall, also my understanding stood, those .cst files are for storing one's channel strip settings, thus are, mostly, made, done, by users, of course free to share (how about if, when, that channel strip setting preset contains the patch used by the instrument, is not really clear for me, quite possibly depends on the laws of the country where one lives).
one might think, of course, in the case of the patches that ordinarily come with instruments, sharing such channel strip settings would not causing any problem.
i am not really sure about the ZebraHZ patches, though, as in the case of sharing them, unauthorised usage (with the 'basic' Zebra) still seems possible.
sorry for (at least partly) misunderstanding your request, also please do not think i intended to imply anything about your standing regarding software or patch bank piracy.
keep up the good work, all the best...
