Hello! I compared how ADSR works in the synthesizer Sylenth1 and Zebra2 it seems to me that Zebra does not work well (worse than too rough). Also in Zebra2 I can not get the same juicy sound from the filters as in Sylenth1. Will the filters change in the future? Or maybe I just did not understand the features of their settings in Zebra2? Thanks.

Why would you expect zebra (filters) to sound like sylenth? Or what am I missing?

If you want Sylenth sound then use Sylenth, easy.


Also, Zebra works perfectly well. There are plenty of filter types in it already. Also, in ZebraHZ you have Diva filters (which beat Sylenth by a lot)...

You have to buy it.
If you have zebra it is $99

Dark Zebra comes with this HZ version.

But still my question remains, why would you possibly expect zebra2 to sound like sylenth?

I do not know, but I thought that Zebra could sound like Sylent1 and chose it as a universal tool for the future. I'm not a professional in the tweaking of sound, but noticed a strong difference even in the impact of ADSR

So ZebraHZ is a set of presets or a separate tool?
How do I try the demo version of Zebra HZ?

ZebraHZ is a modified version of Zebra w/ some new features (Diva filters, per-channel compressors) and comes with presets used in the movie The Dark Knight. There is no demo.

ZebraHZ is a plugin, an extended version of Zebra2, you can find out what's special about it on the product page of our web site and the manual on it.

The Dark Zebra is the product that consists of the ZebraHZ plugin as well as a soundset that was created with the ZebraHZ plugin.

There is no demo version of ZebraHZ.

I'm understood, thank you. It is a pity that there is no trial version, I will not buy ...

Zebra 2 envelopes work better... they are much more flexible.

What do you mean exactly with different working ADSR?

Did you check the Zebra2 ENV options (quadric / linear / v-slope) ?

Hello, Sorry to dig up !

I think I understand that feel, I don't own Sylenth but Zebra and Diva and for example, as a newbie, I strungle way harder to setup a very fast arp sound in Zebra as clearer and precise than Diva (without any FX). I like Analogue Envelopes in Diva and despite the high customize ones in Zebra, I just can't manage to get that good bouncy sound. Maybe try with the MSEG ? Or maybe it comes from filters, or modulation rate ?

It's easier to set the Zebra envelopes "wrong". That's the price you pay for them being so "customizable". I would keep trying before moving on to MSEGs :)
