Nice I do it very similar but use an FMO as the sound source and use a bit of self modulation to bring in some overtones.

Nice tutorial.
There are so many ways of skinning zebra so you always learn something new when watching someone else tweaking.

Thanks! very well done

Great tutorial!

One can additionally shape the initial click by moving the phase of the oscillator so that it doesn't start at a zero crossing - this creates various amounts of click at no cost. Hehe, and one would want to switch off "Attack Smoothing" close to the Drift setting.

I usually use XMFs for kick drums, with a fair amount of Click and with Resonance cranked up. The Overload parameter then does the same job as adding a Shaper. Another advantage of the filter is the much, much higher modulation range (150 semitones compared to 48).

I often use that very trick to create a nicely defined attack on percussive basslines, though I hadn't though of applying it to kicks etc... Thanks

One of the things I really enjoy about Zebra is that there always seems to be a way (and often several ways) to accomplish just about anything. And almost never any question about running out of parameter range for any given task.

Take the above example; I could turn off the attack smoothing, adjust the osc start phase, add a compressor and adjust, I could add another osc and envelope in another lane (MSEG with a superfast decay?) just for the click or combine all the above for ridiculous extremes.

And there are probably many others... Adding a noise module, using a comb module etc...

Aha, that's useful to know.

Hehe, just to clarify, it's +/- 150 semitones on filters vs. +/- 48 on oscillators. The 8 at the end of parenthesis became the cool smiley
