Firstly, please note that I'm a complete newbie to handling synthesizers so I'm not familiar to a lot of principles.
I want to replicate the synthesizer sound of Nils Frahm's "Says" track, and, if possible do so entirely with the Zebra 2 software synthesizer so I can wrap everything simply in a patch.
Here's the music:
From what I gathered from several discussions and partly found out myself, here's what I got so far:
Time measure: 3/4, ~120bpm
Notes for the (main) arpeggio: Eb5, G4, C3
Arpeggiator set to 1 octave, up (the internet says 2 octaves, but that does not sound right), 8ths (?)
Single oscillator, sawtooth wave, short decay
Delay set to 8 dot
Reverb added ontop of that
This is what I've come up with so far, it's of course a bit too slow:

And the corresponding Zebra 2 patch:

The last note of the bass part seems to be one octave too high, and I think something still isn't quite right with the delay.
Does anyone have any suggestions on how to improve this?
