I noticed that in Zebra II, some patches have sampled voices etc. However, I can't figure out how to load samples in to Zebra or how to manipulate the ones that are already in the patches. I did a search on "sample" in the help, but I got nothing. I guess it has something to do with the MSEG section because you can tie stretch the sample there. But, I can't see any controls to load samples. Also, I couldn't find anything on "MSEG" in the help.

you can't load samples into Zebra atm and probably never will... but there are some applications that can turn sampled waves into oscillator wave sets.

Search for Wav2Zebra and bluberrything

here's a link for the blueberrything:

There are plans to add waveform import, and some kind of automatic blueberry thing... some day we'll get there...

I don't get it. If that's the case, why is it that some patches have samples?

There are a couple of patches that talk. What is going on?

That is the result of some seriously talented synthesis sound design.

Drawable wavetable oscillators can do that sort of thing, when you tweak them carefully with knowledge

The one that say's "HS Blubbery Thing" was achieved by splitting a sample of Urs talking into (I think) 45 separate waveforms, each of which was then converted using "Bluberrything" into Zebra oscillator "spectroblend" waves and sequentially sorted into three oscillators. Some clever use of the MSEGs allowed the 45 waves to be reconstituted into something resembling the original sample. The end result is not really sample playback, it's more along the lines of a resynthesis of the original sample.

HS I Am Zebra and HS Who Are You are entirely synthetic. No samples were used in any way - just basic oscillators running through filters.

And if it actually WERE sample playback... then Zebra would have the poorest sounding sample engine in the world.

If you have Alchemy take Glo2Zebra to create Wavetables for Zebra2.

A little late, but is there any thread here describing the functionality of the blueberry thing? I only found one for the Wav2Zebra thing, but as I'm on OSX...

Cheers

Try this one,it's written in Java so it should run on OSX.

Nice, I'm gonna give that a try!

You are a superstar!

I've been using this version to create some crazy oscs from pulses of my SH-101. It sounds so bloody good!

I made 16 individual and originally consecutive WAVs from a held blast of a saw at c0 and the result was excellent.

Anyone want a d/l link?

Anyway, endless hours shall be lost making 'blip' noises sound fantastic.

Have a fine weekend everyone.
