I have made a really nice orchestral pad which I am very satisfied with. Incredible what one oscillator can do. I hope you'll enjoy!

Edit: The pad comes into its own when you play with the dynamics - playing both soft and hard, using both the modulation wheel and aftertouch during playing.

Genuine question : has anyone tried... and succeed to impersonate a 303 with Zebralette 3 ?

While I've spent most of my time so far with the Additive renderer and various OSC FXs, I can't get anything convincingly resonant.

I'd love to nail that squelchy acid sound, could be super fun with the lazer sharp Z3 resolution.

Any pointer welcome, thanks !

Ps: Baz' has loads of amazing 303 flavor too, btw.

I'll give it a go... (expecting to fail, but it might be interesting anyway!)

Baby steps: Back to work...

upon selecting this preset i get the error dialog:

Code: Select all

Plug-In too old for Preset!
This preset was created with a much newer software version. It may not sound as intended.
Please download the latest updates from u-he.com!
using rev15573 (AU mac, mojave)

Of course I''m using a recent internal beta. Dismiss the alert and resave.

That's really good.

Agree. Impressed with Voxalette... tried to improve it but failed :-)

I feel really honored now, appreciate your positive feedback!

My brain still hurts everytime I use Zebralette3 :? - The oscillator editing still feels foreign to me. One little nugget I have found is when in additive mode : use spectral distortion to create some inharmonics and than use spectral decay to quickly dampened all the inharmonics until you are left with the fundamental (and maybe a few harmonics). This workflow makes some beautiful bell type sounds :hug: .

Any savants in here want to make a 2h hour practical guide to oscillator editing ? :hihi: For the not so brilliant like myself :? :hug:

Opened that In Zebra 3 accidentally and got a great "sci-fi crickets" sound around middle c 8)

Zebralette is a frustating plugin. can somebody explains the oscillator editing theory ???
