| how is it not intuitive ? everything is one one page. yes, if you want a simple subtractive synth and that standard layout that sounds the same and makes all the sound sounds, sure but Zebra manages to add so much funcionality in such a smooth intuitive way. It doesn't require a manual. You also mentioned Reaktor being difficult so i think perhaps the issue is more on your end. |

Perhaps I just prefer simple synthesis. I've yet to make a track where I need a particularly complex synthesised sound and the way some of the U-He fans bang on over at KVR you'd think that when it comes to synthesis more is more.
So yes, the problem is my end. |

jsrobinson - you've got two of the best soft synths on the market, both of which have a ton of information, patches, and tutorials available on the web. My advice is to keep them both, start making some sounds, and stay out of the "which synth is better?" wars. I'd suggest starting with Sylenth1 for simplicity (it has a fixed architecture with relatively few modulation sources/destinations), then move on to Zebra for copmlexity (nearly endless modulation capabilities).
Oh, but you should buy Alchemy, too. :D |

Because asking stupid, inconsequential, and largely irrelevant questions is a token of respect where you come from? |

As long as they're patronisingly rhetorical it's what the basis of all 'news reporting' has become over here. |

I suppose I should mention for those that think I'm asking "which one is better" and entering into the Synth Wars topic aren't quite on the mark.
I was more wondering if it's worth my time to learn both obsessively, or if they're so similar that I should stick with a single unit until I get really good with it.
Some good points here lending to them being pretty similar. |

| Zebra, Forget Sylenth. There are no advantages, it is 32 bit, and is not going to be developped anymore. The filters sound like , it only allows for very simple synthethsis. Zebra is simple if you want to do simple things, and can do alot more. |

It's 64 bit on PC if that's the platform you use.
The filters are also most certainly not . Simple yes, but not . |

they are awful. I mean any sort of manipulation just sounds bad. I thought this was the biggest complaint everyone had with it. I guess i will just focus on how great Zebra is. That company actually improves their software, have continuous releases and are a company you can expect to do cool things. Sylenth was a one hit wonder. Sylenth was cool when it came out, i just think there are so many better options. Zebra is a little more and you just get way more bang for your buck.
If you want a simple synth to learn, Dune is a good choice. But really Sylenth is only popular because of the soundbanks people make for it. It is for today;s standards kinda crappy. |
