zt3a+ Virus MOD v2 Ultimate just came out!

[Limeflavour]

You're free to alter my skin as you wish, just don't send the access boys my way
Also would have been nice to know ( *hint* email *hint* ) that you were going to use
a mod of my skin for your product, even if it's free.

My second favourite synth so far.

<SNIP>

No way of making it work. All my installed banks now sounds at 0 quality (except the original one).
Have a good day.

I think what you need to do is the following:

1) Create a copy of your z3ta+ VST folder in your VST plugins folder and rename it whatever you like. Also rename the z3ta+.dll file.
2) Copy EVERYTHING in C:\ProgramData\Cakewalk\z3ta+ (MIDI Arpeggios, MIDI Learn, Programs) to your new VST folder.
3) Copy EVERYTHING in the folder you installed z3ta+ to to your new VST folder (Arpeggios, Documentation, Resources, Tunings, Wavetables).
4) Extract Arpeggios.zip and replace The Arpeggios folder with the contents of the .zip
5) Extract default.fxb and put it in the Programs folder (overwriting the existing file)
6) Extract oscill.pcm from Waves.zip and copy it to Wavetables folder. Delete oscill.set. Rename oscill.pcm to oscill.set.


HTH

The original instructions are for an ancient version of z3ta+, hence them being horribly wrong and out of date.

Thank you very much man for that help!
I will do all that tomorrow when awakening. Thanks.

Have a good day

Well, it seems working a bit better, but i have still the problem with the quality settings.
Everytime i'm changing to a new preset, (from the synth or from the FL Studio preset manager) it is on "none" oversampled. So i need to do this manually, one by one, which is a hassle.

How to save at x1 oversampled all presets in one batch way? There is any way to do this?

Have a good day and thanks again

While I do agree importing and wavetable persistence should be easier, Z3ta+2's importing is just as flexible if you are programming a custom set. Just take a look at Muz3um 2 and 1-2-Many's Virus MOD 2.1

Thanks, I didn't know about that. Seems to work great in z3ta 2 since all of the files don't overwrite existing ones. I don't really care about an extra skin, so all good here.

Tyding up, final testing...

Might be available in a week or two, exclusively for all the KVR mates.

Cheers,

Wally

Wow!!!! Thanks Wally!!

Hi Wally,

This looks awesome, can't wait to check it out!

---

I just want to mention - I think all of this should be easily be doable in Z3TA+ 2, and the bugs you mentioned haven't been reported by any others, nor have we seen them in house.

I'd love to get a recipe for the distorting issue, so if you're finding a rare bug here we can get it fixed!

We're quite close to releasing Z3TA+ 2 for Mac - something people have been wanting for a decade! I'm sure that the Mac guys would love to get their hands on the Virus Mod too, so if you'd like to try and get it working in Z3TA+ 2, shoot me a DM and we can try to help you get it going.

Hey Wally,

Do you need the "mid2cmp.exe" for creating custom z3ta+ ARP cmp files for z3ta+ 1.x?

This used to be up on rgc:audio, but doesn't seem to be up anywhere else. Not sure if you were making custom arps for your set or not. Just send me an email or PM if you want it.

Cheers,
Chad

The Skin is not working for 2.1?

**********
Requirements
**********

A clean, working, un-moded installation of z3ta+ v1.53 (compatibility with other
versions is unknown).

v1.53 was the last version developed by rgc:audio and had many improvements:

• Native Windows Vista® Support (applies to Windows 7)
• 64-bit Windows binaries in DXi and VSTi formats
• Stand-Alone Microhost for x64 Windows versions
• Real-Time and Off-Line independent Playback Quality selectors
• New MIDI Learn functionality
• Import MIDI file to Arpeggiator function
• Optimized Arpeggiator Engine
• Wavetable saving (from Oscillator Shaper)

Note: Banks saved in older v1.3 does not load properly in v1.53. A workaround
is to load and save old banks in v1.4 and then load in v1.53. The "v13 default"
bank was already converted and included in the MOD.

Thanks for your efforts and thanks for sharing
