u-he has announced the release of a free public beta version of its Zebralette 3, a single-oscillator synthesizer that offers a first peek at the upcoming Zebra 3 synth.
Like its predecessor, Zebralette 3 is a single oscillator plucked from the mothership and embedded within a minimal environment: The multi-stage envelope generator, LFOs, modulation matrix, delay and reverb effects are just enough to turn the oscillator into a powerful little synthesizer in its own right.
The Z3 oscillator is in a league of its own: Spline-based editing, a dynamic toolbox borrowed from vector graphic apps, various morphing options and waveform mangling algorithms, an audio engine capable of either wavetable or additive synthesis… Zebralette 3 is also a wavetable editing tool: You can export the pure wavetable in .WAV format, which can then be loaded into your wavetable synthesizer of choice.
The first beta version of Zebralette 3 is available now from the u-he forum at KVR in VST3, AU, AAX and CLAP formats for Windows, Mac and Linux.
