You're welcomed, Urs and congratulations on a stunning product.
"So inspiring is the whole experience of discovering Zebra2 that the manual (which has been critised by some) works, quite rightly, more as a great reference point as you venture through this sonic jungle".
Ha! I reviewed Zebra in 2007 and criticised the documentation as well as the presets. Since then the manual has been completely rewritten, and the presets have been retired/replaced... ;-)
I'll be honest with you, Howard. I'd tried Zebra 1 and found it fun but no replacement for other synths I had. The development since then has been on a scale you'd expect from a big set up like Spectrasonics. Fantastic acheivement.
There are two synth I can't live without, Zebra and Surge.
if I had to choose, I'll keep Zebra.
i just bought zebra today, because i like some of its sounds, but i agree, many sounds are over-effected. When turning the wet knob down, the sound is not really good anymore. In my opinion, the reason is first of all the looppoint of the waveforms. Especially with Pad Sounds, you can hear the loop of the used sample, the higher note is looping faster than the lower, resulting in an unsteady, not smooth sound. But this i heard nearly with every Softsynth. But i heard a few sounds, where this is not so obvious. So i hope, it is possible, to create really smooth pad sounds.
Is there a tutorial online "How to make Sounds with Zebra"? The userguide is not sufficient for me: The interface is really overwhelming.
@Babyblue: There are no samples in Zebra2, and therefore no looping or loop points.
BTW Zebra2 Tutorials are here: http://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PL8B3F7A60F7C76BA
... but I would recommend that you study the manual in more depth first - start at the beginning, read very carefully, understand.
I agree with Howard completely. Read the manual carefully, tweak the various parameters to understand what they do, and turn modules off and on to hear the results. You might also want to research some basics of different types of synthesis so you can really understand. I also recommend that as you go thru the presets you focus on the simpler structures so it is easier to understand what is going on.
And watch every single one of the tutorials! More than once....
You may have to dig around a little to find the waves that "speak" to you -- and remember, each wave has 16 possible iterations, some of which are completely different as you cycle through them.
Zebra is a beast for sound design, it's worth the time to learn how to use it.
thanks Howard and ontrackp for your constructive words! I will do my best and dive into the secrets of zebra. When you say there are no samples used as groundstructeres for tweaking them with the different oscs, LFOs, envs etc., i must believe you. I came to that conviction, when i played a (one) note, i heard a repeating cycle, playing this note lets say 3 notes lower, i hear this repeating cycle too, but this cycle lasts a bit longer, resulting in an unsteady, not smooth sound, when playing both notes together.
But as i said, i try my best, to achieve what i am looking for. Thanks again for your advice and the link.
uups! just tried the Link, doesn't work....
True Babyblue, the direct link to the YT playlist doesn't work (strange!), so here's the channel:
The cycle speed of a LFO or MSEG can be modulated by key follow (or by specific notes for that matter) so the speed can change as you go up or down the keyboard. My advice is to deconstruct the patches. Go thru module by module and double click on modulation controls, zero out modulation amounts in the matrix and you'll start seeing how the modulators can affect cycling of filter cutoff, pitch, etc....
Just search on youtube for the tutorials, they come up all over the place.
you say you want warmer filters in the next version,,,.
Have you thought about getting the dark zebra upgrade?
it has a few additions, DIVA filters being one of them.
Hehe, this was my fav because it's so presonal to me :).
"For me, the biggest downside of this synth is that it's easy to get so involved in the fun of experimenting with sound that you lose time getting work done.".

Indiana native Lutalo Sweet Lu Olutosin debut album Tribute to Greatness is a nice collection of songs that reflects and pay homage to his influences that includes gospel, soul and jazz music. Lutalo song selection is interesting with some music not often recorded like "Four", "On the red clay" and "All Blues".Lutalo has a deep, soulful voice with a recognizable influence of singer Al Jarreau. You may hear Jarreau influence in the first song, "I bet you thought I'd never find you", even the way

An electric guitar is not the first instrument that comes to mind when someone thinks about Latin music, but the idea is not new. Carlos Santana did it in the 70's fusing Rock with his Latin heritage. The difference is that John fuses jazz and Latin music playing the electric guitar.A native of Walla Walla, Washington, John is an experienced guitar player. It was his experience in the 70s of teaching English in Latin America that influenced his music to this day. And, you may hear that influence

There are rare instances in any art expression when all the elements gets together to create a piece of art that borders on perfection. When a good painter or sculptor get that moment of inspiration or when a good script, director and actors coincide in the creation of a movie classic.John Beasley Grammy nominated album Positootly is a good example of what happens when masters instrumentalists, the kind of instrumentalists you rarely find outside of Jazz, gets together.

As a Queer Man, activist, and participant (not actual occupier) in the OccupyLA movement, I've felt challenged by the lack of an active LGBTQ affinity group and an agenda for visible participation in the occupation. I feel a very welcoming space here and see this as a natural place for alliance building and also a space to articulate my/our issues. I'd like to see more alliance/participation(?) by/with some of our own organizations. As such, I'd like to start a dialogue around some of my ideas. I've tried to be visibly Queer in my own participation, and I know there are LGBTQ folk and vocal allies here!
So to get the ball rolling, I'll take some initiative. I try to get to GA and the encampment when I can. I will be here on Wednesday (10/19) starting at 1:00pm (until 4:00ish) on the South side with a Rainbow Flag to designate a meeting spot. I would like to invite ANYONE interested in such an affinity group or issues I have articulated below to join me for conversation and brainstorming. I'll get this posted on the Event Calendar as well. Things get started by someone taking the initiative, so that's what I'm trying to do. I posted my thinking and rough idea for, of all things, a Proposal or Strategy (talking points) below.
I would hope there would be some interest, and I'd also like to do some outreach to our organizations out there. What do you think?
If you are able and interested in discussing this or have your own ideas, please join me.
MY OWN ideas for some talking points for framing the issue and discussion---
In my view, The Occupy Movement seeks to establish a new paradigm defining a 'political system' whose function is focused on human needs rather than corporate greed and the establishment of a new social contract placing people before profits. Our current system has placed the pursuit of profit above all other goals and needs to the detriment of the environment, peoples' health, a fair standard of living for everyone, vibrant and healthy communities providing accessible childcare, education, green space, infrastructure, etc. and a society where all are treated equally in terms of civil rights and benefits, personal safety and freedom from discrimination.
One of the status quo's favorite tactics is to create division and conflict amongst us by 'minoritizing' and 'scapegoating' certain groups and privileging others, so that some of us are 'allowed' to feel 'more human' or 'more normal' than others. The categories of such 'scapegoated' groups are numerous and media tools are used to 'demonize' the current threat to the well being of the 'social fabric'. Some examples of this currency that immediately come to mind are the 'terrorists' (and by extension anyone of Islamic faith or Middle Eastern origin), the 'gangbangers' (primarily African American and Latino male youth), the 'illegals' (people of color, and other national origin, taking 'our' jobs and burdening the system), the 'threats to family values' (the feminists and LGBTQ people) and the plain old 'abnormal and sinful' (again LGBTQ people and most especially anyone who is gender variant) – I've listed the ones that immediately come to my mind, I'm sure the list can be grown!
A peoples movement must acknowledge that creation of these kinds of divisions seriously impact the quality of life of the individuals so being scapegoated as well as distracting us from the task at hand of creating a just and more humane society. Instead of seeing the 1% and the monetization of the political system as the problem, we get distracted in either fighting each other, or focusing on our particular 'discrimination' without building the kind of alliances necessary to address the systemic source of the overall problem. Each disenfranchised group develops its own political agenda and list of demands and progressives are often splintered into competing subgroups who also feel disenfranchised or sidelined by the larger progressive movement, and hence are reluctant to ally with (ie give time and most especially human resources to) a larger movement, since it will sap resources, strength and focus from their own primary issue(s). While we must not lose sight of the importance of each of our primary struggles, we become much more powerful in alliance with each other.
I wish to suggest that we unify under the demand:
Full Equality, Civil Rights and Economic Justice for ALL PEOPLE
Eliminate THEIR divisions that separate us via discrimination based on
- · Race
- · Gender or Gender Identification
- · Sexual orientation
- · National origin or immigration status
- · Religious or Non-religious belief
- · Physical or Mental Ableness
- · What am I missing or how am I not saying it right?
Of course, ordering such a list and developing the bullet point designations is a task in and of itself, but I offer this as a starting suggestion. I would like to see LGBTQ people maintain our unique and visible presence and advocacy, but also find a way to articulate our COMMON goals and alliance. While I do not wish to sublimate or minimize my own specific demands for FULL EQUALITY as a Queer man, and member of the LGBTQ community, I believe I become stronger and more powerful when my fight is aligned with a bigger fight for FULL human rights for ALL.
These are just my thinking points to get a discussion going – I'd like to see what comes out of it!
If this is of interest or passion to you and you can't be around on Wednesday afternoon, please feel free to email me at firstname.lastname@example.com

Adam Lanza took much more than 26 lives in Sandy Hook. From the grave he has taken hostage the security children, parents, teachers had that they were safe in schools. Everyone in the state has returned to classes, forever changed. Sad, sad, sad.
Back to shopping carts again in Torrington. What to do to keep the city cart free. Of course! Penalize the store. Poorly thought out as we, the shoppers will pay for whatever fine is levied on the stores. And, what about the poor people who rely on the carts to get their groceries home as they have no transportation? Fine them? And collect how?
Perhaps the City Council can brainstorm as to how to help those who have no transportation, must horse the carts through the streets to get their groceries home. Wouldn't it be cheaper to buy a dozen $20 folding carts that these people could utilize and keep. Somehow get the word out that these carts are free! One cart per individual with a registry of who got a cart and the date. The carts if used right would be taken to the store(s) with the individual, filled with their bags and off they go until next trip. The carts would give the individuals needing them an easier way to get their groceries, laundry, shopping items home and keep the city relatively cart free.
I understand that the folks in Newtown are running out of space to put all the things that are pouring into their community. This is probably an outpouring of a proportion no one expected. I would like to suggest that there are places like Staten Island and places in New Jersey that were wiped out and that may be a place to redirect this surplus. Call it re-gifting, but at least put it to good use.
Poor Mitch McConnell, having to spend the night alone with Joe Biden, the pretend V.P. and chronic gaffe master. Everyone agrees that spending the night alone with Joe Biden to negotiate a debt deal is inhumane punishment and automatically entitles McConnell a go-to-heaven pass.
The millionaires and billionaires in this country make me sick as well as many other working people in this country. They sit back and rack in their money here from their overseas and China. And they just get wealthier and wealthier as we working people are being made to do with less and less and less. They make me sick. Their making their billions and taking from America until America is running dry. I say this is all the time, if the billionaires don't like it here then get out of America. Leave, we don't need you here. You're making yourself rich and you're trying to control the rest of the country. Get out!
This is in regards to the parents that want to sue the state for the shooting at Sandy Hook Elementary School. First of all, I would say to the parents, they ought to be thankful their children were not killed instead of thinking about suing the state. Second, how many of these people have gone to board meetings in their towns which I see a lot of in the paper and they are always fighting to lower the budgets to keep their taxes lower. So when something like this happens, now they want to blame someone. I think it is wrong. I think definitely better security would be beneficial in these matters and give people jobs as security guards.
I read the story on the ID card from the motor vehicle office. I went to a store and they asked for my ID so I show the one from the motor vehicle office. Then later on I could not find it. At this point I had a copy made at the motor vehicle office, shortly afterward I was in an accident and the police took my license away. So I went to the VA for a new ID card with a picture of me on it. Now I am wondering what happens if you do not have either source. Where can this be done? I know when I was 16 years old I needed to go to the unemployment office to get working papers so I could go to work.
Obama continues to spit in the face of America as he heads back to Hawaii at a cost of $4 million after hitting 3/4 of all American households with an additional $ 1,650. in taxes a year. Obama has no problem at all with spending unlimited amounts of other people's money.

Dorothy Quick Senior Center Will Remain Open
By: Jamiese Price
Updated: September 21, 2012
The Dorothy Quick Senior Center was slated to close its doors for good at the end of September. The center didn't have enough money to keep the doors open. The senior center receives $21,000 in funding from Dothan, but the center needed $12,000 more to continue serving the seniors this year.
Dorothy Quick board members asked the city for additional funding, but the city refused. Instead commissioner Hamp Baxley and mayor Mike Schimtz helped the center find private donors.
Baxley said, "Unfortunately as the city we can't just pay out every single time a nonprofit has a short fall but we were able to arrange private funding for them, which really helped them out a good bit."
Dorothy Quick participants like 92-year-old Ernest Williams said this is good news.
"I enjoy coming to Dorothy Quick because it gives my wife and me a chance to get out with others and fellowship," said Williams.
The senior center operates out of Evergreen Presbyterian Church.

NHL announces cancellation of regular season games

Originally published: Oct 4, 2012 - 10:08 am
The NHL announced Thursday it has cancelled games through October 24 due to the lockout, meaning the first two weeks of the season have been wiped out.
Included in the carnage are four Phoenix Coyotes games:
Oct. 13 vs. Dallas
Oct. 16 at Dallas
Oct. 18 vs. Calgary
Oct. 20 vs. Anaheim
According to the league, "the cancellation was necessary because of the absence of a Collective Bargaining Agreement between the NHL Players' Association and the NHL."

This rug pad is Exactly what I was looking for. The size is Perfect..it fits underneath my 5X7 rug with a 1 inch rug overlap. PERFECT! It keeps the rug solidly in place and gives it a wonderful extra cushion. This is a very old persian rug that has lost some cushion and this pad makes it a joy to my feet once again!
The rug pad was rolled nicely for shipping and I had no trouble with it laying flat on the floor. The thickness of it makes the area rug very soft to walk on, but it would be too thick near a door. I bought a second one to put under the matching runner in the entry hall and the door doesn't clear the height. I wanted the area rug to overlap the pad so it needed to be trimmed a little and that was easy. I used a yardstick to measure and mark the cut line; then put a 2x4 under the pad so I wouldn't accidently "cut" my hardwood floor. A carpet knife made quick work of the edge that had to be cut. I would not recommend scissors for the job.
It's thick, it's cushy, great to stand on , no sliding! The rug sticks to the pad very well because of the "scratchiness" someone else complained about, and because of the rubber backing my shag doesn't slip on the hardwood, even when my dog is running marrathons! Yes it had a slight smell, so did the shag I bought(and so almost anything new), they will dissapate overnight I had to cut about 5 inches off and I plan on using scraps for other smaller rugs. Overall very happy with it
I have a winter home in Florida with tile floors. I have area rugs throughout and bought several of these in various sizes. They grip the floor very well, and, at the same time, add a very nice cushion to the rugs. I am very satidfied with this product as well as O's service. They arrived in a couple of days and were very well packaged.
We recently had all our hardwood floors restored and bought these rug pads for our existing rugs. The pads are thick and non slip. Slightly oversized and easy to cut down with household scissors. We are very pleased with our purchase.
Too big for my 5x8 rug (by a couple of inches in each direction). Makes me think either the pads or the rugs are not perfectly measured. Needed to cut it down, but otherwise very pleased with it!
With just a bit of trimming this rug pad was a great fit under by new rug. Works great on my floors, and makes my wonderful rug even better.
This pad is the perfect addition to my rug.Together they provide satisfaction that money was well spent
I purchased two of these pads in different sizes. Firm pad for longer wear. Think they will do nicely on the wood floors under area rugs in high traffic areas.
I can not believe how much a soft pad like this changes the rug from soft to "heaven like"....I have to keep walking on it and around my cat who now prefers the rug to anyplace in the house....well, they know!

I remember plenty of BG boneheaded plays in the 4th. He cost us a game earlier in the streak with his stupid back to back turnovers and made a couple of der plays last night.
Gordon blew a dunk, Kemba missed a lay up, MKG missed 2 ft. Blames goes all around

Bobcats fan from England, figure that one out for yourselves
How many times have you watched a Bobcat leave a shooter at the arc to double or triple the paint and thought "DON'T LEAVE HIM!! OHHHHH!!!
How many times have you watched a Bobcat sprint back at the shooter and do the MJ Jump Man leap right by him, missing the ball by about 4 feet? Doesn't look good on SportsCenter boys.
Is desperation defense something they work on in practice? "GENTLEMEN WE NEED QUICKER LEAPS AND BETTER EXTENSION ON YOUR RUN OUTS IF THIS SYSTEM IS GOING TO WORK!"
The Cats need to start learning from their mistakes you'd think huh.
Bobcats Redemption?

The only thing I've noticed about the run outs by the defense are how slow they are. They just jog or shuffle their feet out to shooters instead of running them off the line.
CampNightmare8 (12-30-2012)
Leaving shooters open to double down. Dunlap must have learned that one from Roy Williams smh
CampNightmare8 (12-30-2012)
I guess we can say it's been a while since Ben Gordon's Bulls days but the 4th quarter was his bread and butter back then. As much as we've been losing with Sessions in the game instead of Gordon in the 4th quarter, I would much rather take a risk on BG making yet another careless turnover trying to be the scorer that he is than Sessions driving into a wall of defenders to get blocked time after time.
Anyway, I'm tired of this defense. Whether it's too much zone, overloading the strong side, slow rotations, or just lackadaisically leaving the 3-point shooters trying to help, I'm tired of it. Dunlap wasted almost all of the preseason preaching how he was teaching this team defense. Endless hours of practice primarily focused on defense, and yet still we have the worst defense in the league and probably headed for one of the worst in NBA history.

3 great perimeter defenders in Kemba, MKG, Hendo...and soon to be Tyrus. Dunlap should go man-to-man and use our personnel to our advantage.

Air Force inspections found porn, offensive items
WASHINGTON (AP) — Hoping to fight sexual assault in its own ranks, the Air Force said Friday a sweep of air base offices worldwide found thousands of suspect materials ranging from pornographic films to a beer bong.
It's not clear what the inspection, and the odd assortment of items it turned up, tells Air Force leaders about the link between the workplace environment and the growing problem of sexual violence. But it was meant to impress on Air Force commanders that they need to attack the underlying problem of unprofessionalism.
"We have a significant number of airmen who feel they have to 'go along to get along' by ignoring inappropriate images, workplace comments or other material that makes them uncomfortable. That's simply not the Air Force we want to be," the Air Force chief of staff, Gen. Mark Welsh, said in a statement. He ordered the inspections in late November.
The Air Force fell into the public spotlight on this issue partly because of revelations of sexual abuse of female recruits. An investigation last year found that 23 instructors allegedly engaged in inappropriate or coercive sexual relationships with 48 recruits at Air Education and Training Command at Lackland Air Force Base in San Antonio.
Gen. Larry O. Spencer, the Air Force vice chief of staff, said Friday the inspections of offices and other work spaces at about 100 facilities in December found more than 32,000 items judged to be pornographic, unprofessional or offensive.
"This was not a witch hunt," Spencer said in a telephone interview. It was designed to reinforce the idea that every member of the Air Force should be treated with respect and that sexist attitudes must change, he said.
The Air Force said the no-notice or short-notice inspections found 631 items judged to be pornographic, including magazines, calendars, photos and videos.
They also turned up 3,987 items deemed unprofessional. Examples: a pubic hair in an office logbook, a beer bong and World War II-era airplane nose art depicting a fully clothed but "promiscuous" woman, according to an Air Force document listing all the items.
Among 27,598 items categorized by commanders as "offensive": a postcard depicting women in bikinis, lewd cartoons, a copy of the Air Times newspaper's "Hot Shots 2013" calendar with women in "provocative" poses, a picture of professional football player Tom Brady shirtless, a Confederate flag and a poster of Osama bin Laden.
Asked what this tells him about a relationship between problematic workplace items and the effort to combat sexual abuse, Spencer said it's a mixed picture and that the goal is to ensure professionalism in the workplace. Continued...
"Most of the items that were found some might find offensive (but) weren't in the category of vulgarity or pornography, although there was some of that out there and those were taken care of," he said, adding that he's not sure there is a clear link between offensive materials in the workplace and the problem of sexual assault.
"Whether offensive material is directly connected to someone creating a sexual assault or being involved in sexual assault, I can't draw that line directly," Spencer said. "But I think it all starts with the culture that we want to have out there, and that is a professional environment and that everybody is treated with respect."

- 1 cup (~256 grams) natural peanut butter
- 1/2 cup (160 grams) honey (I'll use 1/3 cup next time)
- 1/4 (56 grams) cup refined coconut oil or normal butter, room temp*
- 8 ounces (225 grams) milk chocolate
- 1 tablespoon (14 grams) refined coconut oil or normal butter
Beat the peanut butter, honey, and coconut oil together until well combined. You don't want any chunks of coconut oil. My mixture was too soft to form into oval shapes, so I put the mix in some plastic wrap, pounded it thin, and put it in the freezer for about 10 minutes. Form the mixture into 16 balls, squish them a little and form into egg shapes. If they start melting again, simply stick it back in the freezer. Once they're the way you want them, put them back in the freezer and freeze until firm, at least 30 minutes.
Melt the chocolate and coconut oil in a bowl in the microwave at half power, checking and stirring every 30 seconds until thoroughly melted. Dip the frozen eggs in the chocolate and flip over so that they're well-coated. Place on a Silpat or a piece of wax paper and let them set about 30 minutes in the fridge before you even try eating them. If there's leftover chocolate, you can double dip a few. Decorate with white chocolate if desired. Or add sprinkles! I would have loved to have some pastel colored ones for these. Store in the fridge. Yields 16 eggs.

Lady Lion softball team drops pair at home to Pearl River |
SCOOBA, Miss. – In a make-up twin bill from an earlier postponement due to rain, the EMCC Lady Lion softball team managed but six total hits in dropping a home doubleheader, 4-1 and 13-3, to Pearl River Thursday afternoon on the Scooba campus. In the opening contest, the visiting Lady Wildcats reached EMCC starter Teddie Eden for a run in the top of the first on a sacrifice fly by Baleigh Volking. Two innings later, Volking followed Virginia Blanchet's run-scoring single with another sacrifice fly to give Pearl River a 3-0 advantage. The Lady Lions' lone score of the first game came in the sixth inning when Alex Mallette of Saltillo capped a 2-for-3 outing by scoring on a passed ball after reaching on a double. EMCC's other two hits in the opener were fourth-inning singles by former West Lauderdale standouts Jessica Vick and Josie Matthews. PRCC added an insurance run in the top of the seventh on an RBI double by Katie Barrett that scored Laurin Locke. Having reached on a triple in front of Barrett, Locke was the game's offensive star with a 3-for-4 effort and scoring three runs. Eden took the loss for the Lady Lions, giving up four earned runs on eight hits, along with striking out eight Pearl River batters and walking just one. In the nightcap, the visitors took advantage of seven unearned runs coming after two outs were recorded in the third en route to sweeping the Lady Lions in a contest shortened by an inning due to the 10-run mercy rule. With four different hitters collecting two hits apiece, Pearl River banged out a dozen total hits in the second game, including three doubles and a home run. Vick had both of East Mississippi's base hits in the nightcap with a second-inning single and a two-run double the following frame. Following Vick's two-bagger, Pearl River starter Katie Barrett retired the final 11 EMCC batters to record the victory. Victimized by the seven unearned runs in the third frame, freshman right-hander Courtney Nunn of Jonesboro, La., was saddled with the loss for the Lady Lions. With postponement of their scheduled Friday doubleheader at Copiah-Lincoln, coach Kate Neely's 2-10 Lady Lions will play host to Hinds and Jones County on Monday and Wednesday, respectively, in doubleheaders set to commence at 1 p.m. on the Scooba campus. |

KRBC's reporter Brittany Pelletz was in Austin today meeting with State Representative Susan King, who discussed a few issues which would affect citizens in the Abilene area.
Some of the issues addressed were money for education, the Cedar Ridge water supply, and the wind and energy business.
King wants Abilene citizens to know that the state legislature is for them.
"This is their house," King emphasized, "this is their government."
"There is no government," king goes on to say, "there is only people."
The legislature session will continue for 140 days.
