Hello Everyone,

I'm going to be updating Project Xebra in the very near future, possibly tonight. This update, the first of possibly several, comes with a demo song:

https://soundcloud.com/esgalachoir/stripes

The demo is all Project Xebra sounds, some new and some old patches. Mostly it's bread n' butter synth, something I always wanted to round out Project Xebra a little more with, since it was so geared towards synth sounds and less orchestral emulation.

While I'm here, I might as well say that at least two new banks are in the works!
One of them is going to be mostly soundscapes, the other will be more geared towards emulations of acoustic instruments(very loosely). Hopefully I will have demos for them up soon as well, we shall see.

Also, The Zebra Orchestra will receive one final tiny update in the near future.(some more brass/woodwind sounds mostly.)

- Corin

(One more thing: All updates to "Project Xebra" and "The Zebra Orchestra" will not affect the current prices of the banks.)

Sorry for the week long delay in getting back to you, I made this post the night before I went for a family trip that prevented properly functional internet access.

All customers who have made purchases from me will get an email(s), and I'll be posting here on KVR as well.

Okay, update is live. Project Xebra now contains 156 presets, 54 more than it used to, in the form of the following:

2 new basses
3 new mallets
9 new sequences
24 new soundscapes
16 new synths

Like I said, a rather significant amount of them are bread n' butter, which shows in the demo 'Stripes'
The demo isn't really anything that hasn't been done before, I think, but it was fun to make.

This is an improv based on some sounds from the Xebra soundset by Corin Neff for the Zebra2 synthesizer. As I got the update a few days ago, the first sound I played was the bass sound and the riff that I played. I liked the sound, so I recorded it. Then I added a few more synth ambient tracks. I grabbed the guitar and played along. This was nice but it needed some solo instrument. I found one in Xebra and then found the other in another Corin Neff soundset, 'Zebra Orchestra'. Drums and some percussion round up the improvisation. Done in Bitwig then exported and mixed in Harrison Mixbus32C. Then exported as stereo track and reloaded in Mixbus32C for 'mastering'. All on Linux.

Code: Select all

Synth sounds used:

 Bass
   ACBass+                Xebra
 Ambient
   Breathing Sidebands    Xebra
   Etheral Wind+          Xebra
   Sparrows and Frogs+    Xebra
   Watery Mallet+         Xebra
 Lead
   Cosmic Thunder Bell+   Xebra
   RTW Slow AG Brass      Zebra Orchestra

Just wanted to say thanks for posting this, mevla.

It's quite pretty. Also, thanks for listing the presets you used.

"123" sounds nice.

Thanks for the comments ! The sounds themselves are inspiring as they are, there were no modifications made. So it was just plain fun to materialize this one and this is reflected in the piece itself.
