True Trance Sounds V1 for U-He Zebra 3 - is a first Zebra 3 soundbank by NatLife.

This soundbank have all the most famous sounds from the Trance history, from big Supersaw in 2000s to beautiful Plucks in 90s and more modern Adagio for Strings guitar Lead, like it was used in Tïesto recreation.

But I haven't stoped with only famous Trance sounds, I have used new possibilities of Zebra 3 for creating absolutely new unusual sounds. This library have a big collection of atmospheric Pads & Leads. For recreating the famous Trance sounds of the past I have inspired with a tracks by Tïesto, ATB, Megara & DJ Lee, Plastic Boy(M.I.K.E.), Ralph Fridge and my own ideas.

The soundbank contains 64 U-He Zebra 3 presets & patches, which are:

AAH - 4
Bass - 9
Leads - 17
Modulation Sounds - 2
Pads - 25
Plucks - 4
Synth - 3

TIMELINE:
00:00 Tiësto - Adagio for Strings (NatLife rework)

Publison Infernal Machine + LinnDrum / Jam 2

video upload by Valmont

"Here's the second (more conventional) part of the previous jam, featuring a fully restored Linndrum for a client along with a Publison Infernal Machine reissue, hand-built by my friend Valentin :)
You can watch the first jam here: • Publison Infernal Machine + LinnDrum / Jam 1 [posted here]

In addition to copy/pasting the same description, I’ll also add a few details about the process!
The Infernal Machine itself is in the racks. In this video you only see the remote, with a few occasional close-ups when I tweak it. The LinnDrum is raw ; I’m just using the left main output straight into the console (a BiAmp Model 42). From there I send the signal into DSP A (mono), pan it slightly to the left, then route that channel via a second aux into DSP B (stereo).
DSPs are mixed back into the console. A hint of U-He SATIN, Pro-Q, and Pro-L on the master… and there you go :)

LINNDRUM - This one came with a fun issue: the snare would trigger the side stick, and the toms would trigger the congas. Apart from various CMOS quirks of that kind, I rebuilt all sliders/faders (volume + pan), the trigger buttons and replaced the pots with custom clones made by my friend Manfred from VintageSynth&Co. I also swapped the audio caps for polypropylene ones and rebuilt the power supply. During the process, the CPU card failed so I had to debug the sequencer - turned out to be a bad address latch and a dead bus gate (no idea what caused that). All in all, a serious overhaul!

INFERNAL MACHINE - A very special device. The IM90 was originally designed by French engineer Philippe Petitdemange between 1983 and 1984, with development continuing until the final DSP update in 1989. Publison devices are infamous for their opacity: components were often stripped of references, making repairs impossible. No schematics were ever published or even formally documented, which made the Infernal Machine both exceptionally rare and subject to extreme prices (I’ve seen one listed around 20k€!!!)
Following Philippe’s assassination in 2019, much of the design knowledge risked being lost. Jonathan Prager was designated as the official Publison legacy/maintenance technician and undertook the task of redrawing schematics based on the original archives he bought to preserve these machines. Meanwhile, Valentin, a French expatriate living in Japan, independently carried out his own reverse-engineering and successfully built a true 1:1 clone. His version (named the Celestial Machine) fits the strictest definition of a clone: an exact replica running the original code, featuring a beautifully recreated remote controller and using NOS components throughout ; except for a new OLED display (co-designed with Bob Grieb of TaunTek).
This special Publison-badged unit was sent to me for testing and demonstration to original Publison co-founder D. Dean - more info soon maybe :)

By the way! If you’re curious, I wrote my master’s thesis on Publison, it was published in French (deal with it lmao) : https://www.ens-louis-lumiere.fr/wp-c..."

U-He Zebra 2: Dark Rhythmical Presets + Patterns. Sound Demo

video upload by Anton Anru

📡 'Quantum Pulses' is a bank of 50 presets + patterns for the U-he Zebra 2 virtual synthesizer. The collection contains dark, deep, atmospheric, sci-fi, harsh and aggressive sounds that have a wide range of uses: from cinematic sound design to modular techno sequences.
🔭 The soundset is inspired by the modern techno scene, vintage sci-fi films and experimental robots. Perfect for Techno, Industrial, Dub, IDM, Experimental, Cinematic sound design, and others.

📦 Get these presets: https://antonanru.sellfy.store/p/zebr...
👤 The author of the soundset is skendi (Arseniy Pushkov).

⚗️ The sequences work in arpeggio mode, which allows for more interesting playing of several notes in a pattern.
🎚️ Each patch is performance-ready, with velocity sensitivity and ModWheel assignments mapped for expressive control. ModWheel affects the ADSR's performance, making sounds both clearer and more blurred.

🎛️ Each patch includes 8 Macros. These controls are designed stylistically and affect the waveform, giving it movement and changing its shape, adding various FM textures and bitcrush, and also affecting the filter by opening and closing it.
The X/Y controls can be manipulated with a mouse or used as 1–8 macro knobs for hands-on control via a standard MIDI controller, making the soundset highly expressive and performance-friendly.

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."
