Great post! Just what I was looking for. Thank you!bmrzycki wrote:CypherOne wrote:Is Zebra CM any good? Probably more suited to a simpleton like me. I have't tried that either, what are the features, please?
There's a miniature version of the effects section from Z2 on the lower left allowing you to customize your effect chain.
- 2 x Z2 Oscillator with fixed GeoMorph waveforms, fixed OSC FX to Symmetry (for PWM) and Filter (for osc timbre). Each Osc can be set to single/dual/quad mode.
1 x Z2 Noise module with its own low and hig pass filters built in.
1 x Z2 Filter (VCF, not the XMF one) with 19 sub-type modes available
2 x Z2 Envelope with the advanced envelope settings available from the "more Env" tab at the bottom.
3 x Z2 LFO including stepped mode (2 regular LFOs, 1 global LFO)
1 x Z2 ModFX effect module (a Chorus, Phaser, or a Corus/Phaser hybrid effect)
1 x Z2 Delay effect module
1 x Z2 Reverb module
The signal path is hardwired to:
[OSC1]->[OSC2]->[NOISE]->[VCF]->[MIX & FX]
The only hardwired modulation is LFO1 to OSC1 and OSC2 vibrato. Anywhere in the screenshot you see a knob or a box with "...", "ModWhl", "EnvX", "LFOX" is a modulation destination.
Playmodes are poly, legato, retrigger.
All presets created with ZebraCM are loadable into Z2 and you can expand on the original sound with Z2's set of modules and effects.
You should check out the soundsets in the free library and Choose ZebraCM. You can even load these presets into a demo version of Zebra2 to see the signal path and OSC waveforms if you like.
Hope this answered your question.
