Any thoughts on PulseSetter?

Just saw this topic and was about to recommend them. They are really great and my favorites. Very smart and intelligent design and use of Zebra 2. I have both of them and they are both great! (as well as their Omni 2 set btw)

Edit: also check Sonic Underworld - Stephan Baer has created some great soundsets as well - https://sonicunderworld.com (disclaimer: I do create some demos for his products now and then and have received free products)
 
I bought time ago corin neff Orchestral sounds.
Incredible quality !!!!

If I could make me my own instruments, from wavs .....but seems to be ultra-difficult

As a new owner of Zebra 2 and Dark Zebra, I'm interested to hear about your favorite Zebra 2 soundsets. Yes, I know, I can make my own sounds. And I will!

I just got Zebra this morning as well. Used a 20% GC discount code, but I don't have the Dark Zebra, at least not yet. I'm inclined to try and learn a little bit about how to use this synth before throwing even more money at it.

There are a ton of free sound banks at Rekkerd.org:

Also been impressed with the Sonic Underworld stuff lately mentioned above.

Agreed on Matt's (The Unfinished), Joseph's (Hollo), and Soren's (Electric Himalaya) work as well.

I have too many to pick any favs...

Zebra Orchestra is ridiculous tho.

Can you or anyone else elaborate on the Zebra Orchestra? There's not much out there in the way of reviews/demos, but what I've heard sounds great. Not exactly "real" like a quality sample library, but still great in a 21st century, postmodern orchestral sense. I'm guessing that it might blend really well & flexibly with samples for so-called hybrid music...

...Anyone using it? Is it worth $40? Half of me wants to get this along with Joseph Hollo's Padsheaven bundle, and half of me wants to get The Dark Zebra instead for about the same amount of $$$. Can't do both right now.

Zebra is pretty much blowing me away. For whatever reason I just jibe intuitively with it, and think I can use it to learn synthesis from the ground up, which I've never actually done.
 
Yes, it's great for blending, or for full-on synthesized madness.

If you're on the fence, I think you should probably go with Padsheaven sets, they are more immediately useful (not that ZO doesn't have immediately useful patches, it does). ZO sometimes needs massaging to get it to sing (but oh what a song then!).
