I'm new to Zebra (still using the demo) and need some help understanding the master/busses layout.
Let's assume that all sounds are routed to Input2. On the master-channel (Input1) is a delay and it's feeded by "Input2". If I now increase the "Send1"-level there should be a nice feedback loop, right?
(can't try it myself as I'm in the office studying the online manual of Zebra atm)
Routing in Zebra - need some explanation

Yo,
The major drawback of Zebra's approach of modularity is that there are no feedback loops. Everything is processed left to right, top to bottom in the voice grid and then left to right, top to bottom in the fx grid. This way Zebra saves a hell of a lot of cpu - I'm "buying out" of the need for feedback loops among modules by offering a great diversity of modules and operation modes within these
- feedback can only be had within a single module!
Send1 and Send2 just send the signal from the main bus to the center/right channel of the fx grid. If signals are routed to the busses directly, the send parameter has no effect on these.
The Input selection for each module makes it possible to branch across channels in a grid (and to assign side chains if appropriate). Unfortunately this is not always clear in the fx grid as the visual line would not be drawn unless another module sits higher in the branching channel. I think I gotta find a workaround for that...

Yep, I think Zebra will (and should) stay like this. Doesn't mean that a future product shouldn'tK705 wrote:I'd vote for "diversity of modules" rather than feedbacking, too.
