Musicians and sound designers in need of a free synthesizer to explore complex sounds
About Zebralette
Zebralette is our version of a Trojan horse. A free synthesizer and an introduction to Zebra2's fantastic oscillators. Perhaps it will persuade you to try Zebra2 and upgrade. If one oscillator is this powerful, imagine what you can achieve with four, and all the other great features available in Zebra2. Zebralette is an introduction to Zebra2's powerful oscillators. Zebra2 can seem overwhelming at first glance, so we stripped it down to a single oscillator plus a few other features and created Zebralette, the little Zebra. Once you master Zebralette you can move up to Zebra2 with confidence. Your presets can come with you, as Zebralette presets can be opened in Zebra2. But more than a teaching tool, Zebralette is an incredible-sounding synth in its own right. Surrounding Zebra's spectral oscillator with a few core modulation options and effects makes Zebralette highly capable.
