Massive X vs Zebra 3

[audiouser720]

Hi I’ve been messing about with the Zebra 3 demo for a good while now, and I’m curious what people who genuinely rate MX think.
I’m not talking features or workflow just core sound, odd bit of audio-rate modulation abuse. Zebra 3 gets endless praise, especially for the filters, and I can absolutely hear why. but I keep coming back to MX. Its core tone just feels a bit more… you know the usual scientific and professional description of a synthesiser’s sound like, warm, creamy, moist, lush, electric, alive, vintage, chewy, velvety, silky, buttery, crispy, gooey, woody, glassy, multi dimensional, organic, free range, grass fed, liquid, juicy, muscular, hairy, expensive. been comparing the svf and ladder filters particularly and I don’t know. I even prefer the MX effects. I don’t intend to turn this into a one must win debate as they are capable of different things but i am genuinely interested in opinions and am also bored.

Just this! Grass fed.

Then it is option C. Does it sound like a Virus?

Sorry, no. You are objectively right. That is my subjective opinion.

And if that -would- be the choice I would always go with Z3.

One thing a "this versus that" thread is guaranteed to do is make those who like "this" get into a fist fight with those who prefer "that".




I think the two complement each other quite well so "this and that" is a viable third option.

I have Massive X, but have barely used it. Not sure why.

With Zebra 3, I spent many days and nights on my OSC entry using just that one synth.
I wonder why? Maybe I like it more?
