Hey,

I am playing around with the zebra-demo. I like it very much but I can't manage something the Moog Modular from Arturia does: When I play several legato-played notes with a monophonic sound, which doesn't retrigger the enevlopes and legato-mode turned on, only the velocity value of the first note can be used to control whatever I want. The velocity-values of the following legato-played notes will be ignored. How can I manage, that these velocity-values can control anything too?

Thanks

You can't - because there would be audible clicks if the Velocity jumps while the note continues to play.

Do you have a patch for Arturia's MM that illustrates what you wish to do? - I'm curious to see if there's something that prevents things from clicking.

Interesting! This is actually something I requested of Steve from Xfer, and which made its way into Serum (thanks Steve!). It uses the portamento setting to smooth the transition between velocity values. It actually allows for some very expressive possibilities.

The only thing that would make Serum implementation perfect is if there were an independent control for the velocity smoothing, rather than sharing with portamento. Maybe a future Zebra feature in the making? ;)

It's not possible to attach a file with a fxb-extension in that forum. You can download it here:

I've used a sample-and-hold-modul as lag generator to avoid clicks if the velocity values jumps.

Any chance the after-touch is affecting things? Or affect something in Zebra (I don't know)?
