As people make it a habit to brag about awards in topic titles lately, we say "Yes, why not?":

Our second "4 out of 3" stars Best Buy on Amazona.de, after the now epic Diva one.

Also an interview with me there, in German.

Enjoy,

** Couldn't keep it a secret anymore:

As you know, next week premieres the final part of The Dark Knight trilogy. For the soundtrack HZ used a custom built Zebra with Diva filters and some prototype features originally planned for Zebra3. He got us to do this in return for some rights. Now the gist is, part of what we're releasing requires that pimped version of Zebra, hence it will be bundled. It isn't perfect, e.g. the "Diva" filters are mono, there's no multicore support, significant CPU drain if the extras are used. We call it ZebraHZ, and it will run nicely as a *separate* plugin!

So, hehe, I can't hold back anymore, and it has been guessed rightly a few times - all Zebra patches by HZ/HS designed for Batman Begins, The Dark Knight and The Dark Knight Rises, accompanied by ZebraHZ. Sells for 99$, requires an existing Zebra license.

This I think is the best way to celebrate 11 (i.e. one more!) years of u-he, and a great way to bridge the gap until we release Zebra3. I'm also very happy that we can finally and officially make these sounds heard

well all along you said HZ had loaned you his minimoog so that you can include some of its filters in Zebra..... so I guess you made a special version of Zebra for him that you will include for the rest of us now? And he used this Zebra in Dark Knight Rises?

ohh.. I think you have hinted at it for awhile.... a new bank done by our own Howard for either Hans or in the Hans vein.

You got Diva filters in Zebra? Zebra with stripes filtered by Diva.

Zebra with new 4 pole ladder filter.

Zebras warmed by the glow of tube based 4 pole ladder filters.

By the way, Hanz Zimmerman using Zebra with Diva Filters is Awesome if that is indeed what the hubbub is about. Awefully cool sir if that is indeed true!

That is a good guess, all true, but not the full story

His version already has the diva filters, story complete!

Maybe there will be a special version of Zebra with Diva filters (I don't think the final new Zebra version will be ready in 9 days) which includes some of the sounds from the Batman movies

Cheers

Those are all the things I would have guessed. There's MORE?

Hmmmm...maybe Howard finally gets some "screen time" in the behind-the-scenes extras on the Dark Knight Rises Blu-Ray when it comes out? (Instead of them spending two minutes focusing on a string player sawing away on a single note like they did in the extras for the previous Batman flick, LOL.)

Dark Zebra - Amazona says Best Buy!
