Hey guys,

since Lemur is on sale at roughly half off at the moment, I spent some time creating a Zebra2 control surface.

I haven't mapped all the controls (yet), mainly because I personally wouldn't use it that way, but of course, this is all open source so whoever feels like it, can expand on what I did so far.

I included all major controls but left out all the modulation knobs. That means you get direct access to OSCs, filters, envelopes, LFOs, effects and the main mixers (not the modules, again... yet).

It heaps of fun and is well well worth the money, I should have bought it much earlier... but hey...

So grab your copy here:

Here's a little video, just roughly recorded with the iPhone. Audio from the iPhone:



And small screenshots of the panels (large screenshots on my page):

Would love if this expanded into a deeper group project!

Thank you! I picked up Lemur for iPad on sale specifically to use with Zebra. I'll sure give your template a tryout :)

Hi,
Is it possible to make your patch update when I change a parameter in Zebra GUI or change preset?
It will be a great addiction to the patch!
With Automap software it will update automatically but with Lemur I don't know how to do it :(
THanks,
Mauro.
God save the Groove!

I haven't dug into feedback from Zebra2 to Lemur. Sorry.

Probably difficult. As of the moment I'm using MIDI to control Zebra2, what you propose would be using automation.

I'll talk to Urs when he's back from Messe to find out how this could be converted.

Best,
Hans

Thanks Hans,
I don't really understand what you're saying about automation versus midi...
Automap send midi to the controlled software right?

As far as i know Zebra send midi info back to the host (ableton, for example, read those midi and use this to control the plugin for automation or other things).

If I'm right you could get some midi back from live using the Remote switch to On for the midi output of Lemur midi channel, so zebra could send midi back to the ipad.

Correct me if I'm wrong please, and again thanks for your patch, I'm trying to help, maybe I'll sort it out this weekend :D
Cheers,
Mauro.

Nope, they use parameter automation. That's quite different from controlling parameters via MIDI Learned connections within the plug-in.

If it's MIDI Learned within the plug-in, it works in every host. If it's set up via parameter automation, a template has to be made for every host that supports this.

Great work! I've been struggling trying to create something that would give me tactile control over Zebra's four x/y pads so you Lemur Zebra controller is a Godsend. :-)

Thanks for sharing.

Cheers.
