Hi everyone. I have been eyeing the U-he synths for quite a while, but because of how rarely they go on sale, I haven't been able to convince myself to spend that kind of money on a new synth. After having worked a fair bit over the summer, and moved to a cheaper apartment recently, I might just be able to afford it with the 25% coupon and everything.
I have toned it down to three possibilities after playing around with some demoes: Diva, Zebra or Zebra+ Dark Zebra. I have mostly been playing around with Diva, Repro and Zebra demoes and found them all great, but Repro lacking compared to the two others. The sound demo of Dark Zebra sounds awesome too, but is pretty damned expensive (imo).
I already have a bunch of synths of cause, including the stock Logic Pro synths, my go to synth Serum, Synthmaster One + 2.9 and the ones included in komplete 11, but none of them actually seems to come close to either of the two U-he synths.
I really like Diva's analog feel, it is sooo nice and would be perfect for the occasional synthwave track I write, but Zebra and Dark Zebra sounds really great for cinematic purposes, with price being the downside. Also, the fact that Dark Zebra, a soundest and a couple of filters, cost $100 sounds pretty crazy to me. Is it really worth it, and does it make that much of a difference? What are the pro's and cones of each, and which one is your personal favorite?
How do I decide? Please send help.
