Filtering other VSTi's through Zebra ?

Hey everybody,

Ive recently been doing some experimenting with chaining plugins and effects lately in order to (sort of) create new sounds and (sort of) explore some new sonic territory for more inspiration. Im using Cockos Reaper 3.76/X64 by the way. What Ive discovered recently is that If I insert a new track into my session, open up the plug in effects/instrument window for that track, Insert Kontakt 4 and load for instance an acoustic instrument, and then insert Zebra right below it and scroll through presets while playing with the keys, that the instruments from kontakt 4 will actually filter through whatever components make up that preset that is currently loaded in zebra thus in a way combining with the preset. Ive tried this with some other plugins and found that not all plug-ins recieve audio like zebra does but can be used with zebra as mentioned above. If i'm being technically inaccurate about this occurrence at all please let me know. I'm not good with synth creation or the tech aspect of it all so i may sound kind of off to some of you. But if anybody else has experimented with this at all please feel free to reply or PM me about your experiences.

Thank you everybody,
:) :) :) :) :) :)

I think you're talking about Zebrify not Zebra :)

I think Zebra has audio inputs too. I'm not 100% sure though.

:D No i'm specifically talking about Zebra2. I know what zebrify is. But ive specifically done this with Zebra2. The reason why I don't use zebrify for this is because you essentially have to start from scratch and I'm horrible with synth creation and stuff like that :lol:

Ahh ok, I must have missed that feature then...

Zebra presets can also be loaded in Zebrify IIRC ... does input just bypass the synth grid and feed the FX grid in Zebra?

Im gonna experiment with loading the presets into zebrify. From my experience it doesnt bypass the synth grid. It filters through there as well. But it seems to bypass the oscillators though and go through everything else. If you find that its otherwise let me know. I'll go back and double check.

I think so. If I remember right, this is actually a bug that Urs left in place around the time of v2.1/v2.3. I thought that the issue was eventually "fixed" but I guess I was wrong. The latest beta does have audio inputs that show up in Live, at least.

IIRC abbreviates If I Recall Correctly, like LOL or 2G1C

Oh my gosh! I feel like such an idiot. I thought it was some sort of tech acronym.

Well there's so many of those damn things now, it's no wonder you keep coming up against new ones.
