Good luck to everyone. Here are the patches for Zebra (old version). Strange textures for ambient.

Thanks for the list! I didn't know many of them beforehand. One synth I would definitely add to the list (even though everyone knows it) is Vital. It's just amazing.

Great list, I'm really enjoying u-he's free synths, and was wondering besides their "PatchLib" section on the website, where else could I find some more free presets?

Unless I missed it somewhere, Cobalt hasn't been mentioned yet. Nothing groundbreaking, but I always liked something about the sound of it and how simple it is.

This one's been around for such a long time and I totally missed that it's been updated to 64 bit two or three years ago.

Super dated interface and a bit weird to operate, but it's quite capable. And on a lazy day just messing around with the 5 randomization buttons (all / oscs / modulators / filters / delay) and the undo / redo button can be quite fun and lead to the one or other happy accident.

So hapoy for this list

"Experimental synth combining wave table, subtractive, phase distortion and physical modeling for sound generation. Idea was to add humanization to the sound on oscillator level in order to simulate behavior of real world instrument where each hit is different. It is not trying to simulate sound behavior like in analog synth, but rather to simulate Round Robin."

Thought their Eclipsis synth was one of the finest freebies back in the day, this must have been released relatively recently. 64-bit, resizeable GUI. Gonna give this one a spin later.

A few patches I made for Synapse Obsession.

Hi All, Posting the ZebraHZ patches created while I was trying to deconstruct one of my favorite tracks. I remember being mesmerized by it while watching the film. Some of these patches especially those in the opening were quite hard to get it right in a half decent way. It took several trials. It helped that Bladerunner tracks were done mostly using Zebra. Download link is available in the youtube description.

Amazing presets! I love the sound of Blade Runner! Thanks for sharing them with us.

Thanks
I would love to see a series about how you deconstruct sounds and build them up. How you think about the process. You have a real gift.

Thanks for your kind words @D Halgren. I don't really have a disciplined method or process to deconstructing a track using Zebra. Usually I start with a few main sounds to see if it feasible. For the 2049, it was the synth sounds in the second half and the Big bang. For Dune, it was the Cello and voice patches. Then everything else get layered around those. Let me see what you suggested-- making a video series..

Here are some presets for Novum



Extract the .7z and then drag and drop the extracted folder onto Novum and it will import the presets. An 'N' will appear - click on that to filter down to only the Nova presets.



Those of you that have an aversion to a lot of reverb might want to steer clear

Thanks love these!

Here are three sequencer sounds I did in Arturia Pigments 4. I tried to redo some favourite patches/techniques from my eurorack.

The basic idea is to get new rhythmic modulation patterns by twiddling the macro knobs. All sounds are driven by a simple 16th arp. LFO1 waveform gets folded by Remap function in Combinate 3 module. A futher sample and hold is triggered by the arp and creates the rhythmic pattern.

The macro knobs alter LFO1 waveform, symmetry and phase. Macro 4 alters filter or osc fm depth. So it's very easy to get dozens of different modulation pattern just by tweaking the macro knobs.

1. Sequenzarium
For those early days driving synthlines. CC1 is global cutoff, macro 4 is filter fm depth.

2. Sequenzarium Filter FM
A sine osc fm-ing a resonating MS20 filter. Think of toms, bongos and other zipps. CC1 is global filter fm depth.

3. Sequenzarium FM
More FM bongos.

So just download the patches for Pigments 4 and have fun. Don't forget to insert your favourite delay.

I was working on a Pigments Library called "Tension" but then I kind of lost steam on the project. It was shaping up nicely but not sure if I'll ever get back to it to finish. But any way it's got about 10 or so sounds so far comprising of Pads, Ticker rhythms and bass sequences and 1 Impact Hit.

hope you enjoy. If you have any questions post them here. There's a few tricks in the patches and I think that's mostly why I kind of stopped. It was turning out to be a library about the way I work rather than a commercial library for everybody.

There's some samples included in the patches and I don't know if the soundbank also bundles the samples. If they are missing let me know and I'll do my best to try and figure it out. So far here the soundbank included everything but since the samples are already on my HD, I'm not sure if it just referenced the file location or if it actually bundled the samples.
