it is soooo fantastic - I would love it to be eight lovely channels

Well, on the subject of "more", more mod slots and more envelopes would be cool, but hardly necessary.
Z2 has a lot of power and it will take a while to exhaust it as it is - you can do a lot in four channels, and it's not like you need a channel per oscillator or anything, the oscillators mix in so you can chain 4 oscillators and 4 FMO's all in one chain if you want...

Well, sure it can do a lot, sure you can go miles with it - sure one can do a lot with 4 channels - but I do not get 4 channels from Zebra.beej wrote: Z2 has a lot of power and it will take a while to exhaust it as it is - you can do a lot in four channels, and it's not like you need a channel per oscillator or anything, the oscillators mix in so you can chain 4 oscillators and 4 FMO's all in one chain if you want...
that's the point (although in space 4 channels are another 4 that are just missing - but would be better than nothing.)No, it would be really sweet
I also know that Urs has to do a lot and with Zebra I got more value than from most other software providers! But stereo - at least for me - stereo is just one dimensional - it is just a shame having a superb sounding pad with lots of detail that is stick to a line!
About one osc per channel - no - I like the concept like they started to implement it in Absynth and Kontakt much more - position and move oscs in space. HALion's surround is nice for film fx, but for (experimental) music it is missing a lot.
I think I will try Zebra -> Absynth next
but multi-outs is really missing from Zebra

Apparently beej thought that you meant the "channels" in the synthesis matrix when you really meant the amount of audio outputs.
Four or more outputs would be cool for surround stuff, espeically since Zebra is so good at ambiences and SFX. I'd guess that it's not super hard to implement for Urs (well, he'll probably want to throw in some quirky mixer module as well then.

Yeah sorry. "Channels" in the context of Zebra generally means the grid's channels, whereas if you'd have said "Can Zebra have multiple outputs?" I'd have understood you better...
