question on zebra

[fantismo]

hi all..

i dont have any osc presets in zebra - where can i find them folder wise - i assume it's like the other presets?

Also.. i have a version of zebra with two new wave shaping things, one was phase distortion.. was that in the 64bit version?

You can access the oscillator presets from the More OSC tab at the bottom:


The easiest way to locate these presets on your system is to right click that box and choose "save OscillatorX settings..." and then give it a unique name like "000_SEARCH_OSCS". Then either in Windows Explorer or Mac Spotlight search for the name you just saved. It should show the path to them.

Zebra ships with Factory Oscillators. If you're having trouble finding a copy of them you can always download the Receptorized version of Zebra:

And the Oscillator presets are located in:
Zebra25PreInstalled.zip\Zebra25PreInstalled\u-he\Zebra2.data\Modules\Oscillator\*

There's also several freely-available Oscillators for Zebra found at:

That's in the latest betas, which come in 64-bit and 32-bit flavours. There are some bugs though, especially with random lfo waveforms.

Also, regarding your phase distortion question, the newest PD mode, PhaseDist, is only found in the latest Zebra2 betas. There are 2 modes in the current 2.5 release that are variants of PD, Phase Xfer and Phase Root. Howard's excellent manual gives an overview of all three:

Phase Xfer - A variant of PD (phase distortion) synthesis. The original waveform is not output directly, but is used as the phase response of an extra sine wave - which you can hear when the value is zero.

Phase Root - The original wave multiplies the phase response of the sine wave.

PhaseDist (Zebra2 beta) - Phase distortion, as in the ʻ80s Casio CZ series of synthesizers. The wave acts as a function for the phase of an inverse cosine. The amount knob crossfades between no effect and full effect, so the most dramatic uses of this effect involve modulating the Wave index.

thanks for all of that guys!
