Yay, Zebra Oldskool Soundset finished

I didnt expect to finish this soon, and i didnt expect all those nice sounds to come out of Zebra but now its ready, The Zebra Oldskool Soundset.

To define what i mean by oldskool i have prepared 2 MP3 demos.

1. Music made with Zebra (and thats Zebra playing drums, bass, pad, birds or whatever)

2. Patches made with Zebra (me going nuts with some of the patches)

Whats included in the soundset ?

128 Patches made by me and 8 Midi Files which covers the most popular MP3 demos.

I dont plan to make a manual since i've used the PERFORM page on Zebra for notes in most cases. It makes more sence to me to have the notes follow the patch rather than have to look it up somewhere else like a PDF document. Also the MIDI files are there as tutorials to see how things are done. The MIDI files also have the purpose of showing people that this is Zebra and not some super mix treated with super outboard fx's.

All demos used TL's Pocket Limiter in the total mix (Great little Freebie from TL) and music piece 2+3+4 used Artsacoustic Reverb. (I first started to use the internal Zebra Reverb later on)

The Zebra Oldskool Soundset Volume 1 can be yours for $30 US when i found a way to distribute it.

For those who want to taste a bit first i suggest you download the first 17 patches i made public in the start of the project. These patches have been reworked in the soundset but will give you an idea of how i do things:
