If you just want a synth to browse excellent patches - Zebra is your friend. Usually too aggressive due to unbalanced OTT and little reverb. and that's probably why it has a more "cinematic" etiquette. And that's what ultimately matters for me. but Serum gets the sounds out my head faster. But ZebraHZ and Serum are still the heavyweight champions. A nice compromise and perhaps worth a look. It's got a bit of the wavetable abilities of Serum and a bit of the rich low end of Zebra, in a simple user interface. I've just gotten u-he's Hive synth, which is somewhere between Serum and Zebra. It really has a wide sweet spot in the low end. That said, I do wind up using ZebraHZ more than Serum - but that's mainly because I don't have much use for the kind of super-aggressive, futuristic wavetable type sounds that Serum excels at I'm mostly looking for dark, thumping pulses and ZebraHZ really allows for some serious fine-tuning in that area of the frequency spectrum. The user interface on Serum is a little easier to deal with when setting up complex modulations as well - Zebra is a bit dated and suffers a little bit from age in the UI department. I have both, and while I do like the tone of ZebraHZ and the sound of its filters, there's no denying that Serum goes a bit further into futuristic territory with the wavetables, sample import/conversion, etc. I could imagine getting both at some point, but first I would like to focus all my energy on just one. Also, the fact that there are more presets for that genre available gets me interested (of course I would make my own ones, but learning from some great sound designers like The Unfinished or from presets of The Dark Zebra would surely be a course on its own.) On the other hand, Zebra has a solid reputation in the realm of film music thanks to some of its users and the sounds they have made with it.
I recently went through a few courses on Evenant with who seems to use Serum a lot, and I like this one feature very much which consists in drag-n-dropping lfo's or envelopes to different parameters like volume levels / cutoff etc. Win: VstPlugins/u-he/ZebraHZ.Currently I'm learning a lot on sound design with both Serum and Zebra.Īctually, I like using electronic dance music sounds (risers / basses / FX) and mixing them with orchestral soundtrack music.įrom what I heard, Zebra's low end would get me faster to satisfying results but I could miss the wavetable functionality of Serum.Win: VstPlugins/u-he/Zebra2.data/Support/Themes.Extract the Redux folder to the default theme location:.Zebra Redux supports all features of the original theme including drag-n-drop, Preferences and MIDI Learn panels.
