Zebra is a next-generation virtual synthesizer plug-in. It combines subtractive and additive synthesis with a powerful modulation engine that even smoothly integrates with the built-in effects section.
With version 2, Zebra has not only become an even more wireless modular synth. It also adds the sonic capabilities of FM, modeling of natural sounds and advanced wavetable synthesis... latter can be learned & used quickly with Zebralette, which is an included mini-Zebra
Zebra at a glance:
- Phat, warm and organic sound. A very musical character
- Beautiful, intuitive user interface
- More than 250 great presets included, thousands (!) available for download (see download section)
