Hey all

Im looking at getting a new synth but can't decide which to get I'm tossing between Zebra & Albino 3 would love to hear peoples takes on this.

I`d say Zebra2 would be the one.
Albino 3 is great though.
Tough choice.

Both have demos you can download and try for yourself prior to buying;

Albino - http://www.robpapen.com/albino3-demo.html
Zebra - http://www.u-he.com/cms/zebra

zebralette is also freeware as well as ZebraCM available from CM dvd.

Zebra 2 sounds better than albino in my opinion. Albino is a very good synth, but I A/B'ed both synths running just the basic oscillators, making sure they were both at the exact same volume, and found that Zebra's oscillators and filter sounded better. I am a self-confessed u-he freak though... Atleast one u-he synth on every song.

Awesome cheers heaps for all your input, i was leaning towards Zebra 2 ill probably end up getting both soon enough but i think ill go u-he for now

Another that has caught my eye is omnisphere but is a little pricey !

omnisphere is pretty limitless
I do find you need to be willing to delve more because lots of the sounds are almost full spectrum sounds which can clash with the rest of the elements.
But it has some awesome material.

Omnisphere is like getting Komplete; its really -all- you need synth wise.

I like Albino and think it's a great wee synth.

But just to chime in with the OPs - Omnisphere is fantastic.

But Comparing Rhino to Albino?
Rhino should be the one

+1 for Zebra.

Zebra 2 sounds better to my ears as well. Don't really know how to quantify it, just seems to have a bit more punch and all the waveshaping tools are great. Also check out Camel Audio's Alchemy, absolutely GREAT for dubstep, and the grain synthesis and filters are nasty!

Edit: my friend just got Gladiator 2 and I think I'm gonna have to get that next, cause despite the programmer's rep for being a huge dick licker, it's a monster synth as well. In fact I may install the crack after I buy it due to the allegedy invasive nature of the licensed software. His synths are the only ones I've ever heard of where people recommend that course of action so that tells ya a lot about the douchebag imho..

HamVST > zebra
HamVST > albino
