Hi all,
I need to give a huge shoutout to Taron, z.prime and Andreya and many other members of the OSC community for helping me figure out how this synth works. Without the help I received from everyone, I would not have been able to submit anything this month. This synth is a BEAST and took me a while to stretch my head around. But once I did, this became the coolest synth I've ever used. Besides the random crashes, of course.
This is a two part SPACE themed ambient track that features what could very well be the longest, most drawn out V-I chord progression in the history of OSC!
DAW:
Reaper
SYNTH:
35X Instances of Zebralette3
MASTER FX:
ReaEQ
TDR Kotelnikov
TDR Nova
Realimit
LoudMax
ReaLimit
TRACK FX:
2X Flux Mini 2
4X kHs Compactor
2X kHs Transient Shaper
3X Limiter No6
14X MAutopan
3X MIDI Chorderizer
7X MIDI Note Filter
18X MIDI Transpose Notes
1X Pancz
32X ReaEQ
45X ReaLimit
1X Room Reverb
2X Spectral Compressor
12X Stereo Field Manipulator
13X TDR Kotelnikov
4X TDR Nova
2X Valhalla Supermassive
4X Wider
ARTWORK:
By me. Rendered in Blender, fixed up in Photoshop.

Hey @Chris-S, it's just a JSFX script I wrote and posted on our Discord server under #Development. I don't even know, if this truly counts as plugin, but there you'll find it. 
Especially considering that this is my very first attempt to write an audio effect with JSFX and my second working JSFX after a little Midi CC converted for the RipplerX round last month. But I love it very much, too. So fun!
BUT I now have posted it in Reaper's stash, too:

I was thinking about doing my first One Synth Challenge since I already have Zebralette3, but no way can I top this. This is just stunning. The sounds are great and the shifting time signatures are so well arranged.ZioMau wrote: Thu Oct 16, 2025 11:01 pm Don't wake me up! "Dreams" is where the magic happens.

part1: (00:00) - entering the magic
part2: (03:08) - the chaos
part3: (05:22) - freedom to fly

I also followed the Soundcloud link to your catalog. I'm not someone who gives out a lot of complements, but you are undoubtedly a unique and amazing talent.

Hello, I upgraded my electro reggae track with a remix of the previous one.
I thought it was too minimal for the OSC folks.
Moreover I wrote I used 11 instances but actually they were 10.
So now it is:
"The Easiest Dub (Brass Works)"
https://soundcloud.com/liqih/the-easiest-dub
11 instances of the nifty Zebralette 3 beta, to these instruments:
- xylophone
- synth keys
- synth arpeggio
- echo pling 1 chord
- high pitched pad
- brass
- bass (the brain)
- electro snare 1 (bang)
- electro snare 2 (meow)
- kick drum
- random glitches (dirty work)
DAW is Ableton Live with stock effects:
Reverb, Delays, EQ Three, EQ Eight, Compressor, Limiter.
Looking forward to listen to all Zebralette 3, tracks.

Here's my track for the month. I have been spending a lot of time on guitar lately so this month wrote a guitar song and converted it to MIDI. I may or may not play with Z3 a little more to make the sound design better, but wanted to get the thing submitted.
