Release should commence by Friday, but could be sooner. All I've got to do is wrap up the site.

I've somehow managed to get it up to 102 patches. Most of it is experimental soundscapes, glitchy, off-kilter sequences, and bizarre percussion. But there's some bread and butter synths, basses, a few mallet sounds - and I threw in some more animal noises which happen to really compliment the soundscapes. I think I'm going to set the price at a steady $20

Thanks Urs!

Esgalachoir,
I think I've heard the second song before, though both songs sound good!

Esgalachoir, Some Strange Sea is really impressive. I really like how you manipulated the stereo field. Thanks for sharing the cool sounds!

Thank you both! Here's a demo of Project Xebra: 20 sounds

Just had a quick play with the free patches.
Great sound design!

esoteric, dark, organic, cinematic.... My guess this is one of those niche banks that will be a good surprise for anyone expecting something more "specific" ..thus it's difficult to label I imagine

Yep, hence the name.

There's a lot of variety, but yes, the bank is heavily leaning towards the experimental side, especially with the soundscapes, sequences, and even some of the basses.

Esgalachoir,
Thank you for the free patches, I'll try them soon.

EDIT:
I checked out all of the free patches: most are pretty cool/complex. Several of them need mod wheel/joystick or Performance X/Y pad movement to fully appreciate. Some in the Synth folder I preferred in the arpeggiator mode.

Hey aaron,
Yep, I like the hands on control kind of patches, so that's what I always lean towards.
As for the arpeggiator mode patches, the plan was to leave that up to the individual users to switch back and forth from. However, like I did with the last bank, I may add onto it some in the future, and I'd like to round out the synth folder a little better, so we'll see.

There was an update? How do people who bought the original bank get hold of it?

Heh, cheesy puns run in the family on my mom's side, you'd fit right in.

I sent an email to all customers sometime ago. Anyone who bought the Orchestra should have gotten it. If you haven't or can't find it, I can send it to you via email.
