One Synth Challenge #206: Zebra 3 Beta by u-he! (Irion Da Ronin wins!)

[violator_alba]

Once again an arbitrary target has been reached: here's the start of this month's preliminary playlist for those who'd like to start listening now.

As always, I'll be updating this as entries come in.

edit: need to rework the track, will post again closer to deadline.

New guy here, first OSC. Hope I'm doing this right. (I did enable downloads, and I did otherwise read the rules).
16 instances Zebra3
DAW: Ardour 9.2
FX: all non-Zebra3 effects were Ardour's internal ones: EQ, high/low pass, reverb. (So many FX in Zebra3 I didn't need many).

Also: a preset for something like alien radio chatter on Zebra3, after I spent some time with spectral plots and formants-on-MSEG: https://morris.cloud/files/Denebian_Radio_Chatter.h2p

Just downloaded the Zebra 3 Beta to join OSC #206. First impression: the new UI is way cleaner and CPU seems lighter than Z2. Anyone else testing it on Apple Silicon? Curious about M3 performance before I start the track. Good luck everyone!

It works well on my laptop (M1 Pro, 16GB ram) so I imagine it would be even better on a newer machine. I rarely go above eight tracks but just for fun I duplicated my tracks a couple of times and it turns out 32 tracks works fine too (10 GB ram, cpu meter in the daw barely goes above 50%)

47 instances?! You must have a beefy CPU and lots of RAM.

I found it pretty well optimized for a beta. Running on an M1 Pro with 16GB of RAM, I've pretty much maxxed out my Macbook
