Thank you for gifting these patches, that’s very generous of you Daniel. I spent a couple of weeks exploring Zebralette3 when it was first released. And what I’ve heard so far, I’ve really liked. It has a versatile sound engine that rewards you for digging in. The AU had a crash in Logic on my 2020 Intel iMac, but I was able to get it back up and running.

It really has me curious to see what awaits us in the full Zebra 3 release. It would be really awesome if you were able to contribute some patches for the factory library... just saying. Your patches cover a wide spectrum, and a lot of them make really good starting points to tweak further. The pads, sequences and effects all feature your signature edginess that seems to be part of your Spektralisk DNA.

Nice work as always. I highly recommend that people sign up for your free newsletter and Sound Flux, especially since we receive some great samples and presets for free, and without getting spammed (thank you for that). I wish you a strong and fulfilling year ahead. Cheers!

Thanks for kind words Justin!

Zebralette3 is very deep already in it's current state. I've barely scratched the surface with this pack. I like how you can switch sound engines that utilise the same curve. Also the new MSEG that can be morphed while modulating other stuff opens some wild sound design possibilites. Really looking forward to Zebra3.

Thanks for downloading the pack and your feedback. I'm glad you like it. Have a fantastic 2025.

Just wanted to revive this thread now that Zebra 3 is out.

These presets can be opened directly in Zebra 3. There are some limitations and they won’t sound exactly the same as in Zebralette 3, but they work well as starting points for further sound design and exploration inside Zebra 3.

Those presets are great - really good variety too. Thanks for providing them.

Thanks. Glad you like them.

These are great and I have been using them for a while. Just to point out (and this applies to all Zebralette patches) since Zebralette is pretty much the equivalent of one of Zebra 3's main oscillators, if you open a Zebralette patch but still have a Zebra 3 patch open, it won't replace that patch like a full Zebra 3 patch does - instead it will just replace the first osc but keep any other oscs and effects from the previous patch.

So remember to init first (unless you want to experiment with this as a way of generating ideas).

Thx! Yes, exactly. This is actually pretty cool for experimentation in Zebra3.
