Hi,
I am really wanting to get deeper into programming on Zebra. What would you suggest the best way to learn is? Any vids or material you know of available?

The best Zebra learning tool is Zebralette

It's basically a complete Zebra osc so learning Zebralette helps you create better osc sounds before you get into filters etc. You can also then load Zebralette patches as building blocks for more complex sounds.ETMuz wrote:Zebralette? Interesting.
More please

The manual explains also everything pretty deep, then the small tutorial videos by howard are also great.

Things that are helping me most are:
1. The Manual. I leave it open always when working in Zebra and it makes all the difference. A quick Ctrl+F or scan the the table of contents and the help is usually there.
2. Howard's videos. I dig watching and re-watching Howard's tutorials. Great to see someone with mastery at work. The format is really well done also. Some other tutorials out there have good content, but miss the mark for learning because the format is difficult to use. Howard's are short and effective and you make some amazing sounds while learning Zebra. You even get a view into his thought process which is probably more valuable than anything. For example, Howard seems to lean toward trying things even if he is not sure what it will sound like. That by the way is one of those approaches that geniuses use...and I would put Howard in that category (hope he does not mind me saying that).
3. Ask questions on the forum (as you did here). There are so many talented people here that are willing to help. It is a resource that you can't really put a price on. Never seen anything like it.
4. Pick a problem to solve. It will give you some focus while you are exploring how to solve it. For example, I am working on a bowed string patch for weeks and weeks. Though it's been done by people much better than me, it has resulted in exploration of books and articles, asking questions on the forum, and diving into the various Zebra modules to see how close I can get. It is incredibly frustrating and jolly good fun at the same time. I have found some great techniques and sounds - both related and unrelated to strings - along the way.
Enjoy!

Thanks for the words Clangorous! I'm taking them all to heart. I'm assuming the HS videos are the ones posted by UHE? Right?
I'm currently waiting until Zebra 2.7 AAX(PT) is fixed. The Ring module is stuck on the default preset settings. Hopefully Urs is getting to that one this week.

Yes. The youtube link that mabian posted takes you to the main page with all the u-he tutorials. Here is a direct link to the Zebra 2 tutorials also: http://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PL8B3F7A60F7CF76BAETMuz wrote:I'm assuming the HS videos are the ones posted by UHE?
