Quick Question...

[stevechristian]

This may seem obvious, but I can't figure out how to change a pot control if I previously set it to something else. Say I set one of the pots to "LFO1" and then decide I want to change it to "LFO2", how do I do that on a Mac? Also, is it possible to delete any of the plugs we throw in the grid? I know how to disable them but I can't seem to figure out how to remove them.

Right click on the control and you will get the list of options (control-click if you are stuck with a 1 button mouse)

Right click on a module will give you options, one of them being remove

Cool, thanks, I'm am on a Mac so only one button! I didn't see that in the online manual anywhere. Maybe I just missed it? BTW, does anyone know if there's a plan to make a PDF manual?

There is a pdf manual... but as the manual is still considered work in progress (and probably will always be due to the blog-like structure), it's not linked up officially... will ask Hans to do that though...

[Urs]

Ok, a new version of the pdf is gonna be ready for download in a few hours...

Awesome! Now I've got reading material for work Looking forward to it!

Ooops

It's an offline manual (.html) for download, not a pdf... my bad, but at least something for download:

Will see if we find a way to automatically convert it into pdf...

Cheers,

my god man! get a 2 button mouse with scrollwheel!! it is absurdly better!

[stevechristian]

I just realized that if I want to print this out I still need to go through page by page printing one at a time I'll wait for the PDF.

[Urs]

We're almost at it... Hans will post it soon!

Ok, sorry for the delay and it's not perfect yet, have to find some tweaking options for this. But it's one PDF this time. Go grab it from here:

http://www.u-he.com/zebra/manual/?p=40

Or, the direct link:

Comments always welcome!!!

Pagination is kinda borked.
I'm not sure how you created the manual, but perhaps these might do?

Certainly an automated tool could keep an up-to-date .pdf with very little effort!

Perhaps --

-or-

?

This method seems to be generally repeatable, and more or less low-maintenance:

PS. Thanks for the manual in .pdf at all! Quite handy.

It's done using Acrobat Pro... it was the most logical choice, and all other solutions that grab websites we tried looked way worse.

codef0x, unfortunately neither of the methods you mention apply to us. The u-he server lacks pdf support in PHP (which afaik has never left alpha/beta state) or, uhm, simply involves too much work: Copy/paste into Open Office, adding images, removing unwanted stuff etc. is much like a whole rewrite...

However, the more often we do it, the better it's gonna be. We'll probably add a plugin that lets us switch themes, and then we add a pdf-friendly theme for the next version...

That'd be spiffy!
