    I use both. Phasex is resource hungry, so I make soundfonts of the sounds I generate and play them from qsynth (1 instance) or fluidsynth (2 instances in my stage setup). Phasex is a true synth and very powerful.

    Zebralette is just one of Zebra2's oscillators packed into a simple, easy-to-learn framework – but you have everything you need to make some pretty amazing sounds. Sounds that can be directly loaded into Zebra2 later.
