U-He has introduced Zebra Legacy, a package that includes Zebra2, plus all U-He-hosted Zebra2 soundsets.

Zebra is described as a “wireless modular synthesizer”. It combines many different types of synthesis with a powerful modulation engine, so you can combine additive, freehand or spline-based waveforms, apply a vast selection of spectral effects, morph between those waves and send them through classic synth filters.

The included soundsets are:

• The Dark Zebra (Hans Zimmer and Howard Scarr)
• Chronospheres (Bigtone)
• Crystallia (Vincenzo Bellanova)
• Energy (Bryan Lee)
• Inspiration (Nick Moritz)
• NYC (Alexander Hacke)
• Skools (Michael Kastrup)
• Soliton (Michael Cavallo)
• Stratospheres (Bigtone)
• Transmission (Ben Hall)
• Traveller (Samulael Bereczky)
• Vision (Michael Cavallo)
• Zebra Oldies (a selection of the original factory presets)
• Zebra Science (Howard Scarr)
• Zebratron (Howard Scarr)

Zebra owners can download and install the package free of charge, while the regular price for a new Zebra Legacy license is €99.

Teenage Engineering has revealed that it’s been working with design studio Modem on an experiment. Specifically, the team at Modem has conducted a research project using TE’s OP-Z, placing it at the heart of an interactive art installation and creating a digital extension that translates music into AI-generated visuals.

It might not have the same high profile or hipster cache as the OP-1, its stablemate, but the OP-Z is something different – a multimedia instrument. This is demonstrated nicely in Modem’s project, which was inspired by the “perceptual phenomenon” of synesthesia.

This is a neurological condition in which information meant to stimulate one of the senses actually stimulates several of them and is commonly associated with listening to music. As the properties of the music change, you may unwittingly experience sensations of colour, shape and movement.

This concept of synesthesia is what guided Modem’s thinking. The studio worked with Bureau Cool to connect the OP-Z to an AI system known as Stable Diffusion. The Stable Diffusion platform translates musical properties into hypnotic visuals – is capable of creating “original, realistic images and art from a description in natural language”.

The result is that different MIDI signals relating to pitch, key, notes, rhythm and BPM are sent from the OP-Z and translated into Stable Diffusion prompts using synesthesia theory. Stable Diffusion then generates images based on the prompts, which describe colour, shapes and movements of the imagery. These are then queued up and played.

You can get a taste of what the OP-Z Stable Diffusion project looks like on the Modem website. The OP-Z is available now.

SampleScience has introduced 1970s Summer Camp, a virtual instrument that they say is modeled after the sound of early 1970s educational films and esoteric movie soundtracks.

Each of the sounds recreates the lo-fi tone of tape-saturated instruments heard in these vintage movies.

In other words – it is inspired by the sound of Boards of Canada.

Features:

• 34 lo-fi sounds
• Multi-LFO
• Room reverb
• Lowpass/highpass filter
• Low-CPU usage
• Amplitude range controls
• 3 voice modes: polyphonic, monophonic, and legato

1970s Summer Camp is available now as a VST/VST3/AU plugin for Windows and macOS for $30,and is also available as a Decent Sampler library for iOS, Linux, and Pro Tools users.
