Maybe a stupid question:
Will be Zebra3 backward compatible to Zebra2?

i think he talks about that somewhere in the other zebra thread.

http://www.kvraudio.com/forum/viewtopic ... sc&start=0

but they plan to keep zebra2 working for a long while based on comments in this thread. and zebra2 will be a separate product. zebra3 wil not overwrite it.. so, separate installs and you'll be able to run them side by side if needed.

No, Zebra3 will be a completely new synth. That's why we'll keep supporting Zebra2 for years to come.

Completely new synth...
Then, Zebra 3 becomes the codename Chameleon for me.

Will it come in VST3?

We've spent a few days eradicating some issues that made VST3 support difficult. I think we're good to say yes.

That's still faster than Bitwig then..

VST3.5? With note expression support? And voice-per-midi-channel support for those who are still on a VST 2.4 host? If we say "please" very nicely?

Will bear no enmity that it was not implemented in Diva anymore then, promised! (Ok, if it is anyways just a tweak on your u-he build-a-synth über-framework plus hitting compile one more time - then yes, would still be extremely cool for Diva also

)

Yep, we've planned to rewrite voice handling so that mono modes are available per MIDI Channel, while poly modes will have separate MIDI controls for separate channels. This is similar to Note Expressions, but it also works on groups of notes. On VST3 we might implement it as Note Expressions, but we haven't decided yet.

Thus, our current VST3 implementation is still unaware of NE, just like our plugins are still unaware of MIDI channels (apart from MIDI Learn)

We'll see...

This would be extremely

VST 3.5 note expression sounds quite interesting on paper - if more hosts will support it at some point.
The midi-channel variant works with almost any host. With more (- at least four times as many?) voices than with the workaround of hosting several synths (more than four "greatly" accurate Divas and my CPU puts me on top of it's "undesirable operators" list). Synth tweaking for polyphonic presets would also be much more convenient with just one instance - really looking forward to this!

I've used Steinberg HALion 4 since it came out and I have to say that there is little in the musical scene that has made such a profound change as Note Expression, for me (I had better say before someone busts a vein).

Being able to move individual notes around without having to worry about their related CC expressions is fantastic. Saves me so much time and effort.

So I have to disagree with you on the "on paper" part because it also applies in practice, absolutely!

+1 for Notes Expression in the next Zebra.
It is awesome in HALion4...
