It would be possible - but only with about 2 ms of delay. Thus you can't create tonal feedback up to much higher than C1. For that very reason I'm reluctant to add that in, because it'll stir up more confusion than solve problems. It did so in Zebra 1.5, and thus I moved to self-contained Comb modules instead.

I may give it another try though, but don't ask if and when

LFOs seem pretty stable now, and surprisingly few tweaks to the Arp seem to have done the trick as well.

the arpeggiator can run for hours and keep timing.

Superb!

Can't wait to get my hand on the new version.

Just a question for Urs. Once, may be even in this trhead, you had an idea of little sample ROM for Zebra. Do you keep that idea alive, or you changed your mind?

(Please don't get it as any sort of "work on that, you promisted it" post, I'm just wondering, becouse you've been against any sampling in Zebra for quite a while before.

)

There is an idea for a u-he sampler. If that ever emerges, then there's a great chance that Zebra will have a sample playback module. If the sampler gets ditched from the list of interesting projects, then mybe a sample rom will find its way into Zebra. As long as the sampler is neither developed nor ditched, unfortunately nothing will happen

I'd like to be able to change lfo rates and delay times from a midi controller and have them be quantized to the song tempo. To explain:

I'd like to move a knob on my controller and have the lfo go from 16ths to 8ths to quarters, etc. Same with delay times.
I've spent a lot of time with the modmappers to try and do this, but I haven't gotten it to work well.

If you have any tips, I'd love to hear them.

Thanks!
Ben

The modmapper modulating the LFO rate in the matrix does not scale accurately... otherwise it would work

For example, put the mod depth to 50% and the modmapper with say 4 steps... first step is 0... second step is value of 26 which will make the lfo 1/8 from default of 1/4... but then double that for the third step to 52 and it is not exactly 1/16

It is the LFO rate knob which does not scale accurately...

The modmapper in small size only goes in 2.5 increments... quite crude... open the bigger view up and you can go in steps of 1... (shift does not give finer control) so this would work if the LFO rate scaled accurately.

Yeah, I've spent alot of time trying to get the modmap scaled properly and could never make it work.

Urs · Post by **Urs** » Fri Dec 24, 2010 9:06 am

Does it have to be a fluent transition? Or do you just want to switch between modes?

benj3737 · Post by **benj3737** » Fri Dec 24, 2010 9:20 am

I just want to switch between quantized rates with one knob

The problem isn't the modmapper, it is the LFO rate knob... Seems like a bug to me

Stupid question from me: have you tried MIDI-learning the "Sync" parameters?

That is not a stupid question... It is stupid that nobody suggested that!

Urs · Post by **Urs** » Fri Dec 24, 2010 10:21 pm

Yes, I think you could just MIDI learn the sync menu...

benj3737 · Post by **benj3737** » Fri Dec 24, 2010 10:48 pm

Yes, I tried MIDI learning the sync box and that works, but it really isnt a great solution for playing live. There are so many options that it's too hard to land on the right one in the heat of the moment. Also, it's not available to the host, which I actually need for my live setup. The modmapper seems like the solution for me, as it could give me as much control as I could want, but unfortunately something does seem out of place using it to control the lfo rate. Urs, I'll send you a patch to hopefully illustrate what I mean.

Thanks for al your suggestions!
Ben
