Problems W/ KVR (& Zebra 2)

[explojoseph]

1.) YOU DON'T HAVE A SUPPORT FORUM. Are you kidding me...?

2.) Zebra 2 is NOT WORTH MONEY. Not until you fix the bugs. Incredibly unstable. I am genuinely pissed. This has got to be one of the buggiest plugins/VST's I've EVER used. Maybe it's just not fully compatible with the DAW I'm using, I'm not sure. But according to the description and your KVR site, it should work on Mac with Logic Pro, right? Guess what, it doesn't work properly. No, I'm not just some naive kid who can't figure out how to load a plugin into Logic. I definitely got it running. But after several uses, I NEVER want to use Zebra 2 again (until it's fixed). The samples will work for so long, and then all of the sudden start glitching and SOUNDS OFF RANDOM NOTES. That's right. If there was any sign of a melody at one point, it's now a bunch of random notes. ANY of the selected presets (whether arpeggiated or poly) will begin to go off pitch and play random notes after a certain amount of time. If I reset my core audio, it works again. But, this probably happens about 5-10 times every hour. It's a PAIN.

....3.) It's also a shame I can't upload audio files, otherwise I'd show you what I'm talking about.

YOU CAN'T CHARGE FOR A PRODUCT THAT DOESN'T WORK PROPERLY.

Other than that, the instruments/synths sound absolutely fantastic. When it did work, I had LOADS of fun using Zebra 2. I love the array of choices and presets, but at this time it is simply NOT usable (on Mac OSX Mountain Lion with Logic Pro). Sorry but I'm gonna have to boycott your product from now on until you either make it free or fix this problem.

....4.) Wow, your emoticons DON'T even work properly. No matter where my cursor is, it still send the emoticon to the bottom of the page. KVR, you are just FULL of issues.

EDIT: thanks for all yur responses. im sorry guys/KVR, i was having a rough day. BUT i shouldnt have taken it out on you! so ya maybe you could call it unintentional trolling. CLEARLY its not as bad as i made it seem. i was just mad cuz well, one of my projects uses many zebra 2 instruments and i couldnt even bounce the project properly. once again SORRY KVR, yur not soo bad lol. not at all. still not sure what the problem is though...

ps. ya i see the support forum now. i KNEW there HAD to be one. once again, my bad folks

Is that just a strange joke or an artificial rant with an unknown purpose? (it's too over the top to be taken serious anyway)

I'd suggest to remove it all (incl. my reply here).

LOL

I vote PEBCAK

Just an fyi, random notes is a demo symptom. You should try making sure its registered first, then see if you still get random notes

The u-he support forum is further down the page,

One of the sticky posts in that forum addresses your problem:

Hey,

That's not a bug. It's the demo mode.

Cheers,

Urs

I don't if you're just being a Troll or not but will give you the benefit of the doubt. For the record Urs is one of the nicest and most responsive developers in the business.......UHE customer service is top notch. Have no worries......

April fool's day was two weeks ago bro

On the off chance that the irrational rave was serious....

Zebra 2 works great with Logic -- totally stable, and can run in multiple instances with no glitching.

The random notes are from demo mode -- if you have purchased a license you have to follow the instructions, which are not at all confusing.

Nice trolling.

moved to the
U-HE SUPPORT FORUM
the issues with KVR may have something to do with # of posts, not sure though.

[liquidsound]

I completely agree with the OP

"the instruments/synths sound absolutely fantastic".... "I had LOADS of fun using Zebra 2. I love the array of choices and presets"

The KVR u-he the support forum is right here:

The samples will work for so long

Zebra is 100% synthesis. There are no samples.

...then all of the sudden start glitching and SOUNDS OFF RANDOM NOTES

As others have said, it's intentional and is the demo restriction in action. It's mentioned quite prominently in the manual that comes included in the .dmg file you downloaded:

The single most common support question:
Q: Why does Zebra goes out of tune after about 15 minutes?
A: Zebra's demo mode! Right-click on the data display and enter your registration code.

It's a PAIN.

You're kidding right? It's probably the most lenient demo restriction of any plugin I've used. You can try everything for 15 mins. You can render audio for 15 mins. You can save presets for 15 mins. And all you have to do to get another 15 mins is reload Zebra. Forever.

boycott your product from now on until you either make it free or fix this problem.

So what you're saying is you want Zebra2 for free?

Nope. They work just fine: and so on...

Emoticons are not an afterthought, you should insert them right where you have your emotion
See?

With a total post count at KVR of "1", we are unlikely to see a reply from the OP. So it's not worth offering help or baiting him, unfortunately...

This post need to be one of the better candidates for "worst and lamest rant ever"..
