"the new Zebra shit looks aaaaaamazing!"

Brian Transeau - btmusic.com
 
"I've enjoyed using zebra from v1 and the arrival of 1.5 with its modular approach and ms envelopes, opens the sonic possibilities hugely."

Daniel Miller - Mute Records
 
"On the next record of Gitte Haenning there is Zebra on a track!! I' ve worked in this weekend on 'Sturmkind' and the Subbass sound is from Zebra, which 'sonically' wins over my rack of HW......

... I'm going on tour with Vasco Rossi ( one of the biggest Italian artists - www.vascorossi.net). what do you think I'll use with my powerbook on tour?.......;)

...I loooooove the new envelopes and filter types!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!"

Frank Nemola, Bologna
 
"Coulda friggin' warned me... if i'd of known i was gonna shit myself i would've put some underwear on..."

Paul Rodriguez
 
"In Zebra you PLAY, not program Zebra is easy to learn, so I spend less time making sounds that I want, then I just work on the song, which is how it should be... so I am a happy user"

Colin Fairbairn - sfrecording.com
 
"With Zebra you hardly even need other instruments anymore. The range of sounds is so diverse that you can compose an entire song with just Zebra. Now what am I going to do with my guitar..."

Matthew Fischer - fucanay.fischerworks.com
 
"I've said it before, I'll say it again (and again, and again, and again, and again, and........)- Zebra is just f'in AMAZING. "

by Stephen Lumenta (Zebra 1.0)

"Also, wer einen selbstständigen Software-Synthesizer haben möchte, der gut klingt, CPU spart und dazu noch innovativ mit den gegebenen Möglichkeiten umgeht (wer will das nicht ...), der kann bei u-he Zebra auf jeden Fall nichts falsch machen."

So, if one would like to get hold of a unique software synthesizer that sounds great, saves cpu as well as acting innovatively within its given features (who does not...), he can't do wrong with u-he Zebra.
