A companion video to my multi-part tutorial series centered on the award-winning Zebra 2 soft synthesizer for Mac and Windows. This is my all-time favorite synth and with this video I wanted to show my approach to building a patch from scratch. I did not have anything at all pre-planned for this - I just wanted to make some kind of pad. So, you'll see my thought process and my general workflow when it comes to design a more complex and moving sound over time.

Feel free to ask questions, and if you want to learn more about Zebra, check out the other videos in my channel.

Does Zebra 2 run in Logic Express?

[zirconst]

@Agatio230 Yes! Logic Express supports AU plugins, and Zebra 2 is available in AU format.

yes I agree the intro is pretty awesome. Did you use Vegas? Awesome video!

[zirconst]

@patrickphan2 Haha, thanks! Yes, I just picked up Vegas like two weeks ago and I've been having a lot of fun teaching myself the basics.

Your Zebra tutorials are a VERY generous contribution to the u-He community. Hat tip to you sir.

[elysium5tiaz]

Holy shit. Can't decide which is more awesome; the vst or You :)

[Fiskepudding127]

It'd be nice to see more zebra tutorials. I'd like someone to explain more in-depth how everything (different oscillators, fx, filters, combs e.t.c.) works.

How did you keep this from clipping as you work on it? A limiter?

[loborneta]

[sml2238]

[timaeus22222]

@timaeus22222 Thank you for the tutorial, though!

[timaeus22222]

The link to the patches you made is broken. =/

[fixamacka]

You're very skilled, it will take me a long time to learn Zebra but I SHALL :D

[MrJackanthony]

@zirconst Love it that this can be done on a number of synths :)
