Zebra overrated? (+ feature request)

[Howard]

But wait a sec, later i heard very good sound-demos, like that new "old school" sound library (forgot the name of the author).

Michael Kastrup. My personal fave sound designer (apart from myself ). His Z2 demos aren't featured on the U-HE website yet, but I expect they will be soon. At the very least there will be a prominent link to Michael's website.

Edit - and here it is:

You can already create partials from text... http://www.kvraudio.com/forum/viewtopic.php?t=166487 - Instead of the binary representation one can create (or modify) each waveform/spectrum programatically. It's just not documented due to some stuff that's higher priority at the moment...

Hi Urs,

Unfortunately i can't find nothing in that link that relates to creating partials from text. The other scripts... well, i'm not a programmer, just a musician.

If you have more infos i'd love to read them, but no hurry, i can wait for the script docs too.

Best,
jj

so you said zebra was overrated even before you tried it?

I find it absolutely amazing that someone would do that.

I know this is a relatively old thread, but I had to add that the more popular a synth is, the more overrated that synth is to the people who don't like it. You don't see many mediocre synths being called overrated. So, if your synth is overrated, that means it's extremely popular, which is a good thing.

... or pretend not to like it (for a variety of psychologically interesting reasons). True!
