Amazing the stuff I've heard in FL using their 3xOsc. People cranked out a lot if music in Reason before they created REs. I have everything in FL, Live, Reason and then add Arturia to the mess and those zillion Kontakt synths. I find synths are more about trends. You rarely see EDM producers use more than 3 synths. That's fine, but this should really be in a different thread. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Reid Rosefelt Posted November 6, 2022 Share Posted November 6, 2022 I'm pretty sure that Zebra is the last Gorilla that I don't own. I have Omnisphere, Falcon, Pigments, Komplete, Total Studio 2, V Collection, Vintage Vault, HALion, and a lot more. So the collector in me wants it. But I don't need it. I need to learn more about what I already have. The sell seems to be: buy full Zebra2 for whatever and then on November 15th, Zebra3 comes out and you get it for 30 euros. It's got to come out then, because otherwise having a Zebra Vintage product makes no sense. So my plan is to wait for Zebra3 to come out and wait for a sale on it. And if it never happens, that's okay, as I may have smartened up and decided I no longer want it by that time. Because otherwise I'm just buying it now so I won't miss out on the opportunity to spend an extra 30 euros and "save" money for something I have no time to use. I'll save more by not buying it at all, because I've already got more stuff than I need, and I just use Omnisphere, Falcon, Pigments and Cube most of the time anyway. I'd rather spend my money on a few more Indiginus instruments, to be honest. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spice3d Posted November 6, 2022 Author Share Posted November 6, 2022 The u-he synths were my last big ones on my checklist.

"Someday" is still where that's at. November 15th is just the cutoff date for an upgrade path from Zebra 2. If you buy Zebra Legacy for $99, you will have to pay full price for Zebra 3 whenever it is released. Zebra 2 is probably the last big gun on my personal wish list, and $99 doesn't sound bad to me for everything included! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fleer Posted November 7, 2022 Share Posted November 7, 2022 Don’t forget you can get $50 off Zebra 2 at the dev’s website, thus costing you $149 now, as well as getting the Legacy bundle and, later on, Zebra3 for $30. https://u-he.com/products/zebra2/zebra2-crossgrade.html Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Quote Not all synthesizers qualify for the Dinosaur Crossgrade. “Dinosaur” refers to a piece of musical hardware with a certain vibe—something spoken of in reverent, hushed tones. Hardware that cost thousands during the 1970s and 1980s, has knobs crammed all over the panel or a tangle of cables dangling from countless sockets on the front. [Emphasis added] JMO: Its a marketing strategy to promote the "modular" nature of Zebra 2. Quote You don't own an old, dusty synthesizer? You might still have a chance to get your crossgrade.

FYI, they were related to the Zebra topic, and may be of interest to Zebra fans seeking info before they purchase it. It is not easy to always stay on topic, but best to not go completely sideways into a new unrelated discussion. Cheers! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Then you start adding presets to the madness. For Trance one only needs Spire or Sylenth, and I see Serum being used more. At some point I have to wonder spending 4 hours on a Groove3 tutorial is worth my time since I have a limited time on Earth and enough synths for at least 2 lifetimes, BTW wasn't there a much better deal when NI had these Uhe synths on sale?

abacab Posted November 11, 2022 Share Posted November 11, 2022 Yep, and if you don't actually send them a real dinosaur pic, anything that they find entertaining may qualify you for a crossgrade. Worth a try, right? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
