"Gravitation Noise is a bank of 50 sequence presets for U-He Bazille.

Zebralette 3: Docked from the Mothership

Zebra 3 Modulation Graph WIP

video upload by Urs Heckmann

"Here's a visualisation of Zebra 3 modulation graph. (This is not gonna be in the final UI, certainly not like it is now...)

So there are 24 modules (4 LFOs, 4 envs, 4 MSEGs...) which have parameters that themselves are subject to modulations. These modulations can be directly assigned modulators, e.g. triggers in the envelope, or assignments via the Mod Matrix.

Now the problem: Whatever gets modulated by something else needs to be processed after. So first the source, then the target. Cool. But sometimes modules can modulate each other, or create circular structures. Circular routings create latency, and that needs to be minimised.

In order to solve that issue we implemented and modified classic dependency graphs so that circular sections have a minimum of circularity. What you see in this video is a visualisation of such a minimised circular structure with as minimal latency as possible."

U-He Hive: 25 Free Presets + Patterns. Dark Atmospheric Demo

video upload by Anton Anru

🏙 Lost Traffic is a collection of 25 tempo-synced presets+sequences for U-He Hive 2, designed for dark, urban and cinematic electronic music.
The soundset is inspired by neon megacities, late-night drives, underground clubs, dystopian skylines and graphic-novel noir — somewhere between cyberpunk futures and crime-ridden streets, without going fully into grit and dirt.

📦 Get these patches: https://antonanru.sellfy.store/p/hive...
🛎 The pack is free, but any donation is appreciated.
👤 The author of the soundset is Daytona Carter.

🧿 Each sequence has a distinct personality: some feel like restless traffic lanes, some like narrow alleys pulsing with tension, others like cold, mechanical grids of light.
The overall tone is dark, urban, synthetic and dystopian, with only a few rare moments of calm and space.

🎛 All presets are velocity-sensitive and performance-ready.
The ModWheel is essential: it doesn’t just make small tweaks — it opens up each sequence:
🔹 adding extra notes and counter-rhythms.
🔹 introducing delays, distortion and tonal shifts.
🔹 morphing between more minimal patterns and denser, more aggressive versions.

U-He Zebralette Free Presets: Rhythmical Bass, Lead, Pad, FX

video upload by Anton Anru

"🌑 Umbra Rhythms is a collection of 25 softly playful, rhythmically dark presets for U-He Zebralette. It was created by pushing MSEG into musical motion: pulses, off-beats, and micro-swells that turn rhythm into tone.
💽 What you get:
Types: 3 Bells, 5 Basses, 2 FXs, 5 Leads, 2 Pads, 4 Rhythms, 4 Strings.
Mood: soft, game-like, dark-tinged, alive and breathing.
Focus: tempo-aware MSEG shapes that add movement even to long notes.
ModWheel does more than brighten the tone. It can reshape MSEG curves, tilt filters, shift wave symmetry, change rhythm density, or morph the contour. Push it and the sound can flip personality while also getting brighter.
