Nothing says more about the character and quality of a synth than demo songs. Fortunately, there are plenty of them for Zebra. They are all
recorded without any additional effects, unless noted. Some songs use additional instruments, i.e. for drums.
Going from one song to the next, you might ask yourself is this really the same synth? - It is.

Special: Zebra in electronica
It's a frequent request to hear music produced with Zebra - not just the "naked" demos that have no further processing, but maybe something finsihed. To start posting these kind of production here are 3 tunes ranging from house over trance to rave that not just prominently use Zebra but also feature post processing (and external drums):
 Sonic Element - The Concept of Eternity
kindly provided by Sonic Element
jackULL - Riding A Zebra
House track with lots of those sizzling Zebra arpeggios
Wildjamin - Zebra2
crank up your volume to 11 - by Benjamin Wild / Wildjamin

Some Zebra 2.2 Patch Demos
DY7 Add Pad + Crimson Flutes+
The 80ies e-piano. If you think it's worn out, try this one. It's addictive. And so is the flute!
All Strings+
these aren't samples they're all synthesized in a single patch - and they're pretty expressive! Played by Howard Scarr himself
Berlin Sequence
A tune by Urs Heckmann that captures the spirit of the Berlin School of electronic music.
11 Zebras using factory patches, some drums from Oldskool patch collection and a custom patch
(right-click and save as) for the noise groove... yep, it's all Zebra - just a limiter on the master
Scarrfield
Fusion/Prog piece by Urs Heckmann using only Howard Scarr patches and drum samples

showing the new bank by Howard Scarr
Lord of the Strings + Purify
Their names say it all - and it's endless fun to play these patches! Again, played by Howard Scarr himself
16 Perc + Fuzz Dance
A funny fusion of Organ and Ultrahoover! Yep, this one is also played by Howard Scarr himself
Kwedgeman + Harp Squeak
Some fun with Zebra and a drum loop! Played by Howard Scarr himself

Zebra Escapes The Lion (click)[2.9MB]
This one came by Email, three days after Zebra Public beta release.
It's by vae from Finland...
from the Email: all the sounds made with zebra and only zebra. no other synths or samplers,
no dynamics processing (except for slight limiting before encoding the song
as mp3), only zebra's internal fx. however much i wanted to use other stuff
to process the sound further, i decided i'd do a tune that showcases the
synth's sound, not the additional sweetness plugins like [...]
provide.
oh btw. at the same time, the tune was a test of how many zebras i could run
on my 867mhz g4 lappy without freezing stuff in logic. 17 instances with
several of them running either complex patches or multiple notes at once. so
zebra both sounds good and is impressively easy on cpu, nice ;)
Thank you vae!!!
