Now here is the Hive version I've just made.
Very different but I also like it.

Zebra2 is super cool for what it does. But when you need a supersaw or anything super modern, go Hive2. .
Dude please , stop it already !
Give me one example of your supermodern sound which you think is not achievable with zebra ( exluding granular + sampling )
OK, this is the exact file I already posted when we had this talk a few months ago.

Well, as you can hear... there is a big big big problem... :D :D :D :D :D :D

Back to 1998...

Reminds me of Cappella, Masterboy, Dj Bobo, Ice MC or other eurodance supersaws... :D

SIKE! I made that in Serum. Funnily though, I thought yours sounded pretty old school too, and you can hear it in my trying to copy it.

It's a 2015 song. But I checked, this discussion dates back from 2018 actually.

I took the first good sounding supersaw in Avenger that reminded me of that one and played this melody for the demo. Never tried to copy it.

No, simply NO. You made a patch that sounds like eurodance sounds. Period. That is exactly what I answered.
Make it with Zebra, Avenger, Rapid or whatever you want. If you make a cheap sounding supersaw, it sounds cheap, no bias here. :D

BTW Serum can produce awesome supersaws.

Some synths can, some other can't. Serum can.

I don't hear anything like anything we've posted in any of those songs, are you thinking of a song in particular from that era?
Yours is 400% stronger for sure, but I couldn't help thinking about those kind of sounds hearing it because of its lack of octaves stacking (from 1'16).


Please remember that I said ”reminds me”, never said ”sounds like”.

So, trance modern sound from which year started? (or should I say from which month! :o )
btw, just after a quick search I found some selling libraries for Zebra trance, are these not modern:
https://www.zenhiser.com/products/zebra ... ce-presets
and
https://www.freshlysqueezedsamples.com/ ... ume-1.html

So, it seems there is a trance market for Zebra!
Using: Cubase Pro 15, Reason 13, Tascam US-4x4HR, MODX6, DM12D, LaunchKey 49, Yamaha guitar(Pacifica 612v) and bass (BB234) and some virtual instruments and synths.

I’m not into trance personally, but EDM is a weird market. In 2013, my label told me : ”your track sounds too 2012. Make it sound 2013”.
It’s evolving very, very fast.
