Thank you so much! I just recently purchased Zebra and I've been trying to figure out how it all works as I'm far more comfortable working with samples. This one video has helped me immensely, and you've made it all seem so much more approachable. I really hope you make more videos like this in the future!
The modulation maps are very handy. Is there anything like this in serum? Wondering if the only way to do it is to draw in a length "sample and hold" LFO...
Great patch! At around 4:00 I noticed the high note reminds me a lot of a sirens. I'm not sure where you live but out here in the US midwest, we have monthly (daily) siren testing where the sirens from a distance hit that same note. Very cool as it made my ears immediately perk up.
HA! Must've been a subconscious thing on my part, I grew up mostly in the midwest, definitely remember those sirens now that you mention it. Now I'm gonna build a nice siren SFX library with this patch :)
This is great, does anyone know how else you could do this mod map trick in something like Avenger or Vital? There is a small version of this in Arturia's synths.
Beautiful lesson, Kyle. Definitely thought about investing in u-he products. Also, seeing Logic crash and how you feel is how I feel when Pro Tools crashes. I have a syndrome where I just have my thumb and finger rest on Command S and I press it every few moments when I'm creating something.
awesome stuff man....great content...any suggestions for a novice synth player just having fun making music on my arturia minilab mk2 and occasionally recreating hans zimmer scores? I am trying to find a synth sound equivalent to hans forlorn
On the Modulation Mapper, does it pick a random value from that map of 128 values, and is this map always going to refresh these values or is this a static set of 128?
I get the impression you kinda messed up with the primary/auxiliary modulation in the modmatrix entries. It's a tricky thing, in many cases "reversing" those two doesn't make that much of a difference, yet conceptually it works the other way around.
Thanks Kyle for this video ! Really interesting content :) I followed you during each step on my own Zebra, it was really usefull. The only thing I couldn't replicate was your modwheel's assignation to the FM Depth. My modwheel stays stuck on pitchbend :( Any Idea why ? I hope you'll do a next chapter ! Take care.
Sounds like you might have accidentally assigned your matrix slot to "Tune" instead of "FM"? Or there is an assignment of that elsewhere in the patch. Does the same thing happen on a brand new Init patch?
Your title is kinda misleading. It's not a deconstruction in the words true definition. It's a recreation (and a pretty good one at that!). Just saying;) Thanks for sharing your workflow!!! EDIT: Sorry, just realized you only had about 3 hours of sleep. That can hamper title making a lot ;D
What is your cc1 mapped to? I have this patch but my CC isn't controlling the close and jsut the master volume (prob my fault of changing defaults), just wondering which filter it is since I'm having trouble and new to synths. Thoughts?
Thank you so much!

I'm with Josh. I learned a lot this video, and would appreciate more.
Thanks That was really useful to get me going on my Zebra journey
Thank you for this, I'm trying to find tutorials on how to use Zebra etc from scratch and this helps alot!
Very nice tutorial, I really enjoy the fact how you use the existing target patch as a guideline for your own.
Yeah, love the exploration! Definitely would be interested in more - subbed.
Sounds like the pad that was in the 2049 track: “All the Best Memories are Hers”. That must be what they used!
For the screen capture just use Quicktime. You can control the audio that is being recorded with Audio Hijack.
One of my fav patches! Thank you.
Great vidéo, cool inspiration. Thanks !
Yeah, do a series about this!
I'm surprised this isn't remotely as popular as Serum. This synth is very very capable.
Speaking as a noob myself, the UI for Serum seems more noob friendly.
@@marcgw496 Well Serum is more of an EDM friendly synth, its easy to get generic beeps and bops of EDM in serum.
Serum is trash, it is only for song music. But Zebra is capable of producing music in any genre. Literally movies, pop etc
Kyle, thank you so much
Great tutorial! I just bought Zebra 2 and I'm loving it so far. Your Modmapper tip was awesome. Would really love to see more tutorials!

you can do it with 'note on random' mod source
Sounds great! Also with an extra osc and a vcf!
This really was helpful! I hope you can take the time to make more Zebra2 tutorials.
I do think it's good! I do think it's good! I like it!
Thank you

Haha I literally have the exact same syndrome my friend, thought I was the only one :)

There's no 'filter on the FM', you're just increasing the amount of FM...
Very good🤙🔥🔥🔥🔥

Can you recreate Seawall from the 2049 soundtrack?
Excelente musica 👏👏👏👏👏
Great video! Which skin is that? I don’t seem to be able to select any different skins in the latest version...
Ahh, I think that update came out a few years ago, latest build is here I believe: u-he.com/downloads/latest-builds/zebra2/
Got the latest but just realized you’re doing the patch in Zebra and not ZebraHZ, my bad :)
Thanks!
I gotcha, thanks for bringing this up actually, I totally forgot that ZebraHZ has the Diva filters in it!

Open your Hans Forlorn patch, click on Matrix and you'll see where cc1 is mapped. It controls the Mod Depth (FMO) and all the filter cutoffs :)
Do u have a surround set up?
