A litmus test: Does Howie understand the sentence, although he hasn't played around with MFM yet? The answer, unfortunately, is still NO!

One of the things I really really LOVE about Z2 is the ability to see the signal path. There's no hidden or assumed path that I'm supposed to just know.
It'd be really helpful if the documentation had a diagram showing the signal path, number the blocks and actually show the signal with arrows. That might be the solution to this "it's not there when none but there when not none" bureaucratic englishese.
Just a thought.

Well... the graphics in the center are supposed to show the most horrible part of the routing...bmrzycki wrote:One of the things I really really LOVE about Z2 is the ability to see the signal path. There's no hidden or assumed path that I'm supposed to just know.

Other than that it's tricky... filters before, after or within the delay line, dry signal input from right, left, both or none, compression on mix, channels 1+2, channels 3+4, side chained from any of these plus dry... sheesh... it's like a bucketload of cables, and I think it's easier to understand by *not* looking at them...
I'll think about it though... there was an idea once of a special view that just shows how it's geared up... which would probably be yet another month of development...
(not gonna happen though... if nothing serious crops up, release is somewhen between tomorrow afternoon and Friday noon)-

No no, I meant for some sort of simple static picture in the documents, I know you want to release soon and what you have is great!Urs wrote:Well... the graphics in the center are supposed to show the most horrible part of the routing...

Since one can insert FX/Filters in the delay line path, maybe 2 or three "example" routings would really help people wrap their heads around it.
Something like
(screenshot of a preset)
"In this preset, because we have set option A to foo, the filter is now between delay 1 and delay 2"
A small handful of those would probably answer 90% of the "what the heck is x,y,z mode?" emails you get.
I guess I really need to play with MFM2 more over the break to see how the heck the sucker really works. Maybe I can make a few...

I think the clearification makes sense. Then again I was able to figure it out just by understanding how I would want a delay like this to work.

As far as I can tell, it is not linked from u-he.com anywhere, but I guessed based on the zebra doc url and found it. It is here:bk wrote:btw... Where is this documentation?

Btw, Urs, I love the theme chooser and bigger sizes in the MFM2 RC1 build. I can't wait for that to be in Zebra2!

Yep, it's all coming.
I finished the website (on my local machine). Now I just have to build the installer packages, compile an email list of customers and newsletter subscribers (those who downloaded the preview... that is) and off it takes... need some sleep inbetween...
Oh... and write the final installation notes in the manual...
Zebra will naturally inherit the new ui stuff...
