Dark is easily my favorite, but there are some great ones out there. I like The Zebra Orchestra and Valkyrie, right now I'm deciding on whether I should buy Transmission or Science (I'm leaning toward Transmission because of all the extra waveforms).

I've been checking this one out, I like the Unfinished stuff, and this one comes in HZ as well. Anyone else already have it? I'm considering picking it up:

Easy answer for this question - hands down, no contest, it's the three Padsheaven sets by Joseph Hollo. Don't be put off by the "pad" designation. There's much more than just pads. Strongest possible recommendation.

Now I saw this, well, I should read first before answering

I'm a fan of the unfinished and picked up the Dark Zebra complete bundle on sale last year. AFAIK it's one of the only commercial soundsets that uses the HZ / Diva filters and tends to be a bit darker and moodier. They offer taster patches for all their bundles so worth giving those a spin first. I believe you get the patches for Zebra + HZ when you buy the Dark Zebra version.

the unfinished also have promotional sales a couple times a year and they have donated to the 'call to arms thread'.

I also wrote Joseph Hollo and encouraged him to design for Dark Zebra. He seemed positive about the possibility. Hopefully other sound designers will target this gap in the market.

$32?! You've got to be f**king joking.

The prices for most of these sets are just asinine.

Just picked up Simon Stockhausen's First Encounter, some really creative stuff (easy to figure, given his relation to a great composer). I'm thinking about grabbing the whole set!

Definitely considering the Dark Edition of the Unfinished's Kronos, but it does seem...well, expensive.

If you're not in a rush just wait for the next sale... Black Friday is around the corner!

I don't have Zebra but I've heard some awesome 80s styled stuff by Michael Kastrup. He really nails that sound!

Favorite Zebra Soundsets (Besides Dark)
