Help with Zebra2!!

[sean.s]

Hello KVR!

I am a total noob with Zebra, I started producing in January with Ableton Standard, I dont have operator or any form of synth so I did some research and settled on purchasing Zebra. Im loving it so far even though I have no idea what im doing.

My question is why do i not have the initialize patch?? I even took a simple patch and removed everything and tried to set everything to the simplest default settings I could, then I saved it as initialize and now I cant even find it in the patch section.

Please help! I just want a default patch that is the absolute basics so i can learn from there! Thank you for reading!

Hi Sean,
Zebra2 comes with an init patch, should be the last patch at the bottom of the Factory installed sounds:


As for learning the synth there are a literally hours of youtube videos you can watch to learn tips and tricks plus more basic stuff. Here are some of the ones I've liked watching in the past.

I know Zebra is supposed to come with the initialize path but I do not have it, I continue to doubt myself and check through every patch and it literally is not there. I have looked through all the different lists of patches in the "Local" file and there is no initialize. I do not have any patches listed under the "user" file.

Im starting to think that I installed Zebra wrong or something like that.

Thank you for help so far!! It means a lot! Im stoked to check out the tutorials, Zebra has been a blast so far, but I would really like to have the initialize patch.

Im still confused about where the patch went that I saved as well? It is not listed in any folder in the patches section.

Go to Zebra's browser and right-click on a folder or file. Choose "Reveal in".
Most important tip: Read the manual, refer to the manual, eat and drink the manual

"I have looked through all the different lists of patches in the "Local" file and there is no initialize."
The file "initialize" is installed by default, it should appear when you *scroll down* to the bottom of 'Local' i.e. don't open any of the subfolders!
If you're still not having any luck, try re-installing without changing the default paths or unticking anything.

Did I mention the manual?
