What's new

Why Zebra 2 is the best? That's why:

Thanks for the patch, really cool :)
I'll give Zebra more time, i like the sound but i'm just so used to serum.
 
Longtime Omni2 (many NI, Spire, etc.) yet always open to more u-he (Repro 1-5 now).

Was not aware of The Zebra Orch soundset, and now pulled toward Zebra2 ..... :unsure:
Gets pricey fast, as Dark Zebra also seems a 'must'.
 
Zebra & Dark Zebra are amazing as,unfortunately I'm by no means someone who can go beyond tweaking a preset blindly,lol
But when you start to see all of the possibilities Zebra & the community at large offers it's truly astonishing!
Don't overlook other U-he synths like Diva,Repro 1&5,Bazille,Ace and Hive 2(the only U-he synth I don't have yet).

Check this out:


@sostenuto
U-he has a survey running now,see here:


If you complete the survey they will give you a 15% discount code that you can actually use multiple times the next few weeks.

*FWIW,If you buy Zebra and ZHZ(aka DarkZ) you will get Zebra3 when it's finally released for free!

Sounds great, and thanks for sharing it.

When I try and load either trombone I get a message that the preset was created with a much newer version of Zebra, and they don't play properly. So I checked and installed the latest: 2.8.0 Rev 7422. The error persists. Any other presets I have seem to work fine.
 
*note*
For anyone looking to buy Zebra,they have a great discount program.
If you have any type of old hw synth laying around, U-he gives you a $50 discount towards Zebra. Send them a picture(I have an old Casio CZ-1)they gave me the discount and they got me started with my U-he love affair!

 
U-he are king of the soft synths (IMHO), and zebra is without doubt one of their best. Doesn’t stop me wanting to collect the rest of them though. Don’t discount their free options either. Completely agree with the above comments re digital vs warmer sound. Great “accident” @Grim_Universe and thank you for sharing.

PS. I also love Omni2 and would find it hard to choose between Z2 and O2 if I was forced to.

Agree ! .... or put it another way .... had I started with Zebra2 instead of Omni, I'm sure it would be equally difficult to change. One issue ( at my lower level of competency ) is serious amount of time, talent, energy to utilize both effectively ..... :notworthy:

I've owned the Zebra Orchestra soundset for a couple of years now, excellent library.

I love Zebra so much I sold Omnisphere a few years back because I preferred it so much. Though Omni is a terrific synth, I just didn't get the warmth from it I do from Zebra. Plus, I studied Zebra intensively for weeks on ADSR, which made it my #1 anyway.
 
Omnisphere is a great synth, but I think what makes it stand out is the ability to make sounds from acoustic samples, unlike pure synths. I own both Omni and Zebra, and they work together extremely well, if you can play to their strengths.
