Nightmare
For U-He Zebra 2
Terror, horror, and everything in between
In this library for the striped beast (Zebra) we're bringing you a grimoire to conjure the deepest and darkest corners of the human psyche.
These presets have been created to write cinematic music in the genres of horror, suspense, and true crime. Use at your own risk. You might become unable to sleep after using this library, or conjure an ancient demon by accident.
All presets are tagged and have modwheel and XY modulations.
89 presets included
- Eerie and creepy pads
- Disturbing soundscapes
- Metallic and distorted effects
- Atmospheric chilling leads
- Retro horror synths

Installation
We recommend using these with the latest version of U-He Zebra 2. You will be able to use them in ZebraHZ but you might get an annoying message every time you load a preset.
After buying Nightmare you will get a .zip file. Uncompress it, and copy the folder with presets to your Zebra user preset folder.
These are the default folder locations for Zebra presets:
- macOS: /Users/USERNAME/Library/Audio/Presets/u-he/
- Windows: C:/VstPlugins/Zebra/Zebra.data/Presets/
Alternatively, you can right click on your user preset folder right inside Zebra to open it in Finder or File Explorer.
License
You can use these Zebra presets on any project, commercial or not. You cannot resell these presets or use them to create samples for resale either.
