Not surprisingly I use Spectrasonics Omnisphere (under Live8) for most of this, but along comes Zebra (to make me see things differently. I play the “Atmosperherics” position in my band – lots of evolving pads, simple leads and massive impacts.
#ZEBRA 2 PATCHES SOFTWARE#
I’m going to give the floor to him to review this extremely intuitive software synth package from u-he. He live on the far side of the planet in New Zealand. Please welcome DC Patterson to the Everything Recording family.ĭC is a location sound & music recordist, composer for film and television and produces albums for eclectic artists. Everything Recording has a new addition to the team to help me with the reviews. No other parameter automation was used and as always, no talking.Alright everyone, listen up. These demonstrations do make heavy use of the wheels, aftertouch and velocity. With the staggering amount of possibilities available when using the XY pads these demos would have been at least 5 times longer.
#ZEBRA 2 PATCHES PATCH#
It should be noted that while every single patch in this bank has multiple and extensive XY pad assignments, none of these demonstrations make use of the XY pads at all. Simply click the patch names for cued up YouTube demos. 4 drum kits are also included and these usually contain a kick, snare and hi-hats.ĭon't have time for over an hour of video demonstrations? Got it! Hear only the sounds you want to hear with our "clickable" patch list/demo page. There are 2 "splits" with unique sounds for both hands as well as 2 "multi-zone" patches that contain 4 different sounds spread across the octaves. Several of the patches are actually multiple sounds in one preset. These 3 controllers play a huge role in the tone and modulations of these patches so be sure to experiment with them. Sometimes the results are subtle and sometimes the sound may change completely.
#ZEBRA 2 PATCHES MOD#
Nearly every patch is this bank makes heavy use of Mod Wheel, Aftertouch and Velocity assignments. Tags: Each and every patch has been thoroughly tagged to make searches fast and easy. We also make heavy use of velocity to control volume, filters and envelope times etc. Mod Wheel, Aftertouch and Velocity Assignments: Deep and thoughtful mod wheel and aftertouch assignments that make these sounds extremely expressive and fun to play.
(We've labeled every single pad so you know what's what at a glance) We're using the Prophet Rev 2 as our controller and having the XY pads so easily accessible has changed our lives forever. XY Pad Assignments: Every patch has multiple and extensive XY pad assignments that take these sounds into completely new sonic frontiers with the flick of your mouse or your preferred controller. These patches are extremely dynamic and playable!ĭescriptions and Usage Info: Brief descriptions as well as controller info for the mod wheel, aftertouch and sometimes velocity.
Velocity is almost always at play as well.Everything from envelope response and filter mod to oscillator detune and oscillator sync. Try the mod wheel and aftertouch for vibrato, filter mod and oscillator modulations of all kinds. This produces a gentle scoop on the low & hi mids while also offering a low shelf boost/cut. Most of the bass patches have an EQ setup which is controlled from an XY pad. This not only provides 2 chords instead of 1, it also makes for some expressive mod wheel fun. Our chord patches tend to use the mod wheel to smoothly pitch shift a few notes of the chord. We thought it would be nice to leave 1 pad open for anything you think we've missed) (XY-4 is usually left unassigned but not always. Our XY pad assignments are labeled, and for the most part, they are organized like so.
#ZEBRA 2 PATCHES PLUS#
Many of the patches in this bank make use of multiple filters plus a notch or two, sometimes as EQ cuts and sometimes for a more pronounced effect. OK, confession time.We like notch filters a lot! Especially in combination with other types of filters. Plus, we think the raw oscillators sound great as far as digital oscillators go. The sonic playground that is Zebra provides ample opportunity for tone and texture manipulation in so many places that we just chose to start with the basics in many cases. We did use the waveset functionality on occasion but for the most part these patches were designed with a traditional analogue, subtractive synthesis approach. Many of the patches in ZEBRA NUM NUM use simple sine, saw, square and triangle wave shapes as their foundations. The complete demonstrations can be found at the bottom of this page or you can head over to our Clickable Patch List Page for cued up YouTube Demos!
