Did I miss anything important?
New in V2.5:
* new contrast rich user interface (and up to date Unempty Dark Horse skin)
* comes with a new effect plugin, Zebrify, which puts all the goodness of Zebra on any audio track
* massively improved preset management (Favourites, Junk, drag'n'drop organisation, collapsible folders)
* MIDI Bank Select messages (CC#0) now iterate through directories within MIDI Programs
* new installer on Windows with freely movable resource path
* unlimited undo/redo for parameter changes (gets flushed though when a new patch is loaded)
* optionally works in 2.3 mode to ensure preset compatibility with previous versions of Zebra 2.x (existing presets automatically open in 2.3 mode)
* ModMatrix souped up to 12 slots
* new Duophonic mode as seen in some vintage gear
* vastly improved XMF Filter module with 15 filter types and more - YouTube (click)
* new "SR Decimate" filter mode
* improved filter algorithms
* more coherent volume among signal flow
* new delay mode and non-syncing delay times
* improved ModMapper with variable step size and zoomable editor
* new pre-delay for reverb
* new Glide2 parameter which offsets Glide for modules with an even number (Osc2, Osc4, FMO2 etc.)
* Right-Click on any Tab and make it default - whenever you open a Zebra again, it'll open at that tab
* bonus bank "Two Point Five" with 100+ amazing new presets by Howard Scarr
* and more...

Not really important, but I ask you a question in another thread a couple of days ago. I want to know if the installation of 2.5 will keep all our present preset banks intact.Urs wrote:Did I miss anything important?
Thank you for your great VSTs, I really love your work.(that too was in my other message. And a nice emoticon for 2.5
...long time no see, in my posts anyway)

Normally it does... I recommend a backup though - I always do.ozmoz2008 wrote:Not really important, but I ask you a question in another thread a couple of days ago. I want to know if the installation of 2.5 will keep all our preset banks intact.Urs wrote:Did I miss anything important?

The new installer has the option to not touch you existing presets at all.

I know that editing the gui picture files in any program that can resize by % can alleviate it. Usually I just increase size by 1 or 2 % and it fills it in. not sure if that would affect the knobs precision at all or anything though.Urs wrote:Yeah, I tried to find out what it is... it's certainly related to my homegrown fast blitting method, but I simply couldn't for my life find out what it is...GMusic wrote:FL Studio still has the blue border around Zebra 2.5, but great release! the presets sound fantastic.

it does the body good (at high volume) -- meanwhile i am rewriting the memory space of my cats' brains by overloading this XMF filter and doing very wrong 'adult' things with modulation. thanks Urs-

Ok...noobish question...(you can laugh) - i am running demo mode again and in this v2.5 i can only see HS preset list. Did i do something wrong or this is demo limitation or my memory is not so good? For some reason i can recall that Zebra is shipping with a lot more presets then HS bank.
btw nice presets Howard!

If you had more Zebra 2 presets previously, then you might want to read the installation instructions (all about the new resource path and data migration).kmonkey wrote:Ok...noobish question...(you can laugh) - i am running demo mode again and in this v2.5 i can only see HS preset list.

If it's a fresh install, you might want to check out the PatchLib:

It's purely selfish - I don't want to answer hundreds of emails, hence I try to release as solid software as possibleHauntedWeather wrote:It's working great now! Thank you for the incredibly quick fix.
