1 sounds cleaner to me, so I think it's Dune 2, and 2 is Zebra.

Because Dune 2 sounds cleaner than Zebra2? Interesting.. Anyone else sharing this opinion?

I'd say that Dune 1 & 2 both sound pretty clean. In the sense of hardly non-linear or distorted/saturated. Don't know if that makes sense, but that's how it always seemed to me.

It's what I think some people call a 'plastic' sound. Makes it ideal for electronica. To me, Zebra sounds less... kind of... shiny, somehow. We need a new dictionary of sound-related adjectives.

Guillotin got it right first, DUNE 2 is 1 and Zebra2 is number 2.

Tom Foolery IMO.

Well, my Zebra 2 has never sounded so bad. Would really help if you didn't mangle the hell out of that patch.

Again, not a fair test.

They both sound equally uninteresting in this example.

At least 1 is a cleaner patch. 2 was drenched in reverb or God knows what else and it just sounds horrible. It's a muddy mess.

It's a bit like Gearslutz here sometimes

Thanks for the comparison btw. Hope you didn't mind the bitching by the people who were wrong too much.

Test aside, Zebra2 and DUNE2 are dramatically different synths.
Overall, I would personally pick them both for their differences, not similarities.
