I know this is basic stuff, but for the life of me, I cannot think how to modulate the pitch in zebra 2 !!!

I have 4 osc doing various things and I want to modulate the pitch of the lot with env2, and for the life of me, no matter how hard I stare at it, I cannot see how to do it.

And before anyone says RTFM, I did, and i'm still none the wiser ! lol

I think this is whats known as a brain fart ?

Click or right click the empty circle to the right of the tune button. A dropdown meny appears with tune modulation sources.

I think he want's to modulate all the oscillators in a patch, globally. I don't think there is a way to do that. I believe you have to send modulation to each oscillator independently.

Yeah this, want to modulate all the osc's pitch in one go. I thought it might have been in the matrix , as a destination, but it's not there.

It's wierd cos the fine and tune options are in the master section, so I should imagine I could do it with automation, then bounce down to Audio, then whack it in Kontakt.

That's not quite the same thing but if that's what you want you can just pitch bend it and it'll do what you want.

EDIT: There's a "FineTuneCents" destination under the VoiceCircuit tab. Not sure what it does exactly but you might want to look into that.

Pitch bending it would require it done on each note, and thats a lot of work really.

That finetunecents doesnt effect it unfortunately.

I don't think there is a way to globally modulate the pitch, unless Urs knows a secret that we dont ;) Other, of course doing each osc individually.

You were talking about automating the master pitch which would be the exact same thing.

I don't quite see the problem,it takes like 30 seconds tops. That's the price you pay for flexibility. Or you could apply the pitch in Kontakt. There's more than one way to skin a cat. Depends on what effect you're after exactly as there will be a slight difference.

I didnt mean to write in automation for them all, just the one time, bounce that to audio then use that in kontakt.

I know it doesn't take long to set it all up, I just thought it would have been assignable internally.

Sorry, not being able to "just group" things is a caveat of the approach of modularity I have chosen. On the positive side, it makes this monster managable for me as a moving design target.

The global tunings are not modulation targets because they are evaluated only once when a note is pressed. Modulation would require for it to be evaluated hundreds of times per second. It's one of many areas where Zebra saves cpu because you can commonly get to the goal with other means.

Thats fair enough, I just thought I was missing something that was in front of me, lol im not the most observant of people so I had to check.
