The modular synthesizer that combines analogue modelling, physical modelling and purely digital synthesis such as wavetable, additive and FM.

Zebra 3 carries the Zebra concept forward but was rebuilt from scratch. In the Generator Rack, four oscillators morph between hand-drawn spline waveforms and render either as wavetables with up to 16-voice unison or as additive engines with up to 1024 partials, complemented by 20 oscillator effects, chainable FM oscillators, noise, exciter and modal resonator modules for physical modelling and over 105 filter responses. The Modulation Rack provides four each of ADSR envelopes, LFOs, MSEGs, Mappers and Mod Math modules, and many modulators double as triggers, for example to drive an exciter rhythmically with an MSEG. A global FX grid with delays, reverbs and compressors with per-voice send amounts, plus support for MPE, microtuning and MTS-ESP, completes the instrument.
