Zebrify's Formant Filter Has Died

[wickedmrdude]

So here's the deal.

I have been writing a track in ableton for the past few weeks. Basically I had a few instances of U-He's Zebrify running over some bass channels and whatnot. All the Zebrify patches were nothing but a LP Formant filter with a LFO slightly effecting the cutoff and the vowel heavily automated.

So anyway I open the track the other day and its completely busted. Everything that was getting effected by the Formant filter is peaking madly and making me bleed from strange places.

So I go through and try reinstalling Zebra... Nothing

I upgrade to the newest version... Nothing

I try all the other VCF options and they're all fine but the Formant is screaming death.

Atm I have gone through and deleted all instances and am replacing/deleting/remaking some sounds.

Anyway let me know what ya think.

Check to make sure you do not have a wayward MIDI CC message getting to the track with the Zebrify instance. I can tell you that Ableton is sometimes funny (the WEIRD form of the word) with the way it handles MIDI automation, so in the end you may have bounce/flatten that track down to audio (when you redo the patch and automation). Good luck, I know it's frustrating...but keep your head and look more to Abelton than U-he synths for the culprit here. Cheers

The formant filter has always been tricky with higher samplerates. Maybe bounce at 44.1kHz?

Also, maybe send us a preset saved after blow up. Maybe there's a parameter that needs to be MIDI Unlearned...
