cYrus,

it's not perfect, but you urged me to!

At least it can hold for a proof of concept... someone else may eventually modify the patch to be closer to the real thing...

I need a beer now... tomorrow will be a very hard day...

Cheers,

Urs

Well, Z2 has got a "Crackle" mode in the noise generators. This can be controlled in density, from nasty noize down to these occasional crackles like vinyl records. In Sculpture you can only send a similar sounding "model" through combinations of comb filters or whatever Sculpture exactly does. In Z2 you can also send it through a resonant filter that you can also use as an FM source. Or all of that, as in the example.

I'm gonna need a few hours (12?) and then you can download it.

Cheers,

Urs

Yep! - You get the pull down on the big display with all presets in the current directory. You already had the [<] and [>] buttons I suppose?

So funny how everybody gets silent short before a release... nothing happens in the beta forum, nothing happens here, as if they're all waiting for something. Or maybe I'm just paranoid. Whatever, I've got a pizza in the oven. After that I'll prepare the downloads, rename the working directory to Zebra's new www address... done!

See ya in a few hours...

pizza?

toast and tea here. I'm snowed in (6 inches last night). I can't get down the hill without skis. Shucks, I can't go to work ...

Urs, lighten-up, everybody is holding their breath ...

Wow, does this mean Z2 is imminent? If so, the timing could hardly be better.

What is the final pricing decision for those of us who entered the PC group buy long, long ago; is that still valid

?

Hey, yeah, it's imminent. But it's gonna be a preview version... kinda public beta thing.

Pricing for the Group Buy from 18 months ago is still the same. Buy Zebra 1.5 using your coupon code and you'll get Z2 as a free update

Cheers,

Urs
