| Not that I need any more synths, but I've noticed that Zebra2 gets a lot of talk on other, more general, music forums (e.g., KVR, gearslutz), but I don't see it mentioned much on EDM forums. It seems like a pretty powerful and well-supported synth. I don't have a modular soft synth, so I may have to give the demo a go. Anybody here using it? What are its pros/cons? Any issues/bugs? How do you think it compares to something like Reaktor (if you've used it)? |

Are the two really comparable?
Reaktor seems much more extensively modular to me, just judging from the Zebra web page. |

Good question - I don't own Reaktor either, but yes it does seem on the surface like a deeper synth than Zebra from what little I know of the two. |

| I own Reaktor and have used it a pretty good bit. I would call it more a "synth-building environment" rather than just a modular synth. Reaktor itself comes bundled with lots of synths that were built from scratch using Reaktor's own components, and you can modify those synths at a very deep level or build your own. |

| Zebra does look nice, though, and it also sounds good from the few samples I have heard. |

That makes sense. Thanks for the clarification!
Yeah, the samples for Zebra really do sound impressive. I've got a long holiday weekend with not much going on other than watching college football and a BBQ or two, so I may have to spend some time with the demo! |

You mean something other than Zebra? I haven't heard anything about it. |

Zebra2 user here!
Reaktor 5 rocks also but its a PCU hog!
Zebra2 uses less PCU and it sounds sweet! |

| I bought Zebra2 on a whim and I haven't really been impressed by it. It has lots of features, but the sound just isn't that great. In that sense, it is somewhat like Z3ta+ - a quantity over quality synth. |
