Word. Looking forward to the results of that combined effort. I still have TriDirt in my VST folder.

Oh Urs, I was playing Zebra with the arp & chord plugs in Ableton last night and it was creating some very thick sweet sounds!
So I would like to suggest a chord section AFTER the arp!
(note/velocity% X however many possible notes in the chord)
I know you might blush at this due to the CPU implications of multiple notes played, but we're (mostly) adults and can handle it!

Urs, you know when you have multiple saws like quad mode for example, then when you press a key they have the classic "flange" effect. (Start with an empty patch, then put it in quad mode, then save your project, then open it again) You have to play a few notes before the saws have their own detune and phase, so they sound smooth and good. Do you think you could implement somekind of random positioning for the phase of the saws when in multiple mode?

It's already supposed to be like that, but obviously not good enough. Or maybe I have just overlooked somethingadamtrance wrote:Do you think you could implement somekind of random positioning for the phase of the saws when in multiple mode?
Will check into that!

It would be nice if I could shift-click on an oscillator to load only the waveforms and not the rest of the oscillator settings. Often I have an osc set up the way I want and I just want to browse through different wavetables without changing the other osc settings.

I've thought this last time that i was trying to do a preset.

While we're on the subject of Oscs, it'd be nice to be able to right click a waveform and copy only that one waveform to another slot on the same osc or a different osc. Right now we can only select all waveforms. This would make it easier to store libraries of wavs and then pick to for morphing between.

When you right-click the little overviews, you can copy the current waveform to any other slot. You can't copy across oscillators though...bmrzycki wrote:While we're on the subject of Oscs, it'd be nice to be able to right click a waveform and copy only that one waveform to another slot on the same osc or a different osc.

Sigh... still a lot of work left

Yes, but the ability to copy just one waveform to another oscillator would incredibly increase the possibilites of morphing between several waveforms: sometimes I'm tired, when I past a lot of time to draw a very sophisticated wave and that I have to redraw it again if I want to morph it with another waveset.When you right-click the little overviews, you can copy the current waveform to any other slot.

I must confess that even if the arpegiator in Zebra is very powerfull, I never use it, and there's a good reason to that: I don't like, really don't like, musical phrazes repeated infinitely without any changes, I'm not a fan of the "boom-tchak" music, since a long time I'm dreaming of the possibility to copy and past the settings of the arpegiator from one patch to another, to be complete, it would be to can copy the global settings as well as the sequencer or each Arpmod separetely. Until now this idea was a little bit boring, but with the future developpements of Zebra, and I think here about the new midi program change possibilities, this becomes a very interesting idea.
Try to imagine: having the possibility to instantly copy and paste an arpeggio from one instrument to another, or to copy just the sequence an apply it to complete other modulation settings, or the contrary, copy just one modulation and make it appear regularly all the long of a song on several instruments, with the possibility to try variations as much as you want, having always the possibility to come back to the original version... the number of possibilities is so high that the only limit is, in fact, your own imagination...
This feature, in combination with the midi program change feature, would make of Zebra much more than a synth: it would really become a complete All-in-one and outstanding composition tool, maybe the ultimate composition tool, and I think it would interest the most "classic" composers as well as the DJ's.
Now, there's of course the question: would all this be possible?
Please Urs, tell me that my dreams will come true!... and that I'll live old enough to see it!

big bump on this one. if we can store wavesets and msegs, i would REALLY love to do that with the arp too. in fact, that is the one thing i would use the most - setting up a good arp is quite time consuming. also, hopefully such a feature would carry the arp mod settings as well.Al.Kamala wrote:the possibility to instantly copy and paste an arpeggio from one (edit)patch(/edit) to another

another thing what would be really like a dream ..i say dream, but it would be so cool and practical
is kind of a "macro-view" for the patches ... for example if u created a patch and feel finished with it
restart zebra in a macro view, where just the knobs and areas appear which u used for the patch
no modul-editing should be posible there..if one osc is used for the patch just one osc appears..and the lfo and envelope for example ... kind of a self-created zebralette and down there is the keyboard view, which makes a synth of a synth ..lol... that would be so incredible... and all changes created in the macroview can be saved as fxp or whatever from the host...

...and I would also like to have a boat with a satellite WEB connection, and a 32-cores Mac with a screen of sixty inches, and a better host than Logic or Pro-tools who would immediately understand the music I want to make, and all this for 200€!!! and with a dinosaurus crossgrade, please...ooooh, come on! 
Excuse me for this irony, but I found this last post really too much.
First, let us be clear, tengotiempo: what you want, in fact, is a Zebra wich would be "blind" and with wich one you could share your patches without having to reveal the waves, the structure and the processes that are behind it: this is a thing that I can understand, and on that point, I can agree with you, but you should have to be clear with your problem before making suggestions that otherwise seem completely boring.
I would like a blind Zebra: I have an unbelievable collection of patches and I create new ones everyday: I have experimented a lot of synths but Zebra is the only one that survived throug my experiences, the only with wich one I can really create any sound I want. So, I have many patches that I would like to share, and I don't do it because it would be like giving an open source code for a program. But I think there are easier ways to create a blind Zebra, I think, for example about a specific patch format that would allow to be tweaked only via the Perform page and the XY settings.
I'm not a programmer, and of course I don't know how many energy it would ask to do this, but I think it would be less than your solution.
But I also would like to have the opinion of Urs about this, as about my precedent post.
Urs?... too busy? Overloaded? or is all this simply completely uninteresting, or impossible?

Don't know if already asked:
Start and end points for arpeggiator?
So i can set not only the lenght.
