Zebra

Zebra is a low-resource modular synthesizer that promises to deliver enhanced sound quality. It features a plethora of controls and comes with a variate preset library to get started. The package includes 32-bit and 64-bit VST and AAX plugins and can be loaded in any compatible VST host or DAW.

Working with Zebra should be fairly intuitive for those who are familiar with VST plugins. One of the perks of Zebra is that it only reveals the modules you are currently using, in the attempt to avoid unnecessary interface clutter.

You can start by loading any of the available presets from the dedicated window, which also integrates search capabilities. Then, you should start adjusting the available performance controls. Zebra comes with knobs for tampering with the pitch, the modulation, the velocity, and the pressure, as well as X/Y performance pads that give you the freedom to spice up your audio with new sound variations. Fine tuning is possible by holding down the "shift" key while adjusting a knob.

Zebra also features oscillators, noise generators, a four-channel mixer, reverbing and an integrated equalizer module. It allows fine signal control and comes with MIDI support.

Relying on a robust modulation engine, Zebra enables you to experiment with different stereo sounds and create waveforms, obtain interesting mixes with various spectral effects, and apply synth filters to get that original sound you are looking for. In other words, Zebra provides flexibility and versatility while also ensuring ease of use and accessibility.
