Can somebody explain to me the routing of Zebra....?

I dont think that the manual explains it well and I have difficulties of getting to know how it is used.

I would really want so see a signal diagram of all different scenarios (stereo, multitap, dubby 2+2 and serial 2) and especially how feedback and x-back affect in the signal path and at what point in the signal path are lowpass/highpass filters located.

Why I want this? Well I am in final stages of mixing a tune and I believe that in order to get a precise mixdown I want the dry signal and dubdelay to separate audio channels to treat and mix them separately. In practice I need to recreate the same effect with other plugs because Zebra does not seem to have multiple outputs to get dry and wet in separate paths.

I made these for my own use ages ago - I have no inside knowledge and had to 'reversed-engineer' these modes in my head, so they might be wrong

Urs may be able to confirm if they are basically accurate....

Note: In real life, the ordering of the filters may be reversed and they might be before the delay rather than after, but that makes no material difference to understanding the 'flow'; the important detail is that they are in the main signal path rather than in the feedback paths..

Stereo

Multitap

Dubby

Serial

Hi Ed,

Hah! I've been looking for the thread you posted them in.

They look accurate to me, but of course it's been a bunch of years since I wrote them

Cheers,

If not a beautyful sound, we'll get a perfect illustration from Ed!

Thank you

Urs should really include these into Zebra manual, or some reference manual (if it would clutter the main manual too much).

While I'm at it, I might as well post some of my other 'cheat sheets'

Thanks a lot for sharing these!

Now I understand x-back better, thank you.

Cool! Many developers omission is that it is not in the manual! For beginners, the argument names are sent to a knockout! (Especially if you translate manual into another language;-))
