Finally done. I have to say working with a synth that requires half a datacenter to run properly was somewhat daunting. Also startet late, almost 2 weeks in when I randomly checked the contest.

I was borderline panicking because there was no internet and data at my place for the past 9 hours lol. And I'm not sure what the exact deadline is because in Malaysia it's already the 1st of May.

I didn't manage to put as much time into this as I'd liked due to a packed schedule, but I really wanted to give this a go. Hope you guys enjoyed it and feel free to drop any feedback or advice. All the best to everyone!

I didn’t think I’d find the time to make something for this. I’ve been both pretty sick and pretty busy this month. But sickness and business both cleared up a bit in the last couple days, enough for some Just-Tuned Liquid Drum’n’Bass in 7/4 to come through. Enjoy!

Really great synth this. I’m glad I found the time to make something. I like the hat and cymbal stuff you can get with the modal and comb modules. And the filters sound great. Lots of fun stereo stuff you can do… the list just goes on. Super fun. :)

My very last minute entry. I think Zebra3 is terrific. Sound design is so much fun it was hard to actually commit to writing music.
