Too bad most folks don't have a K4 as I am sure I could learn a few tricks from others using a different workflow.

I am beyond happy by my purchase of Zebra 2 and 2 HZ.
Having so many options for controlling MIDI while performing is beyond words.
Having replaced a rack of hardware SE-1s and my ancient EML-101 was great but since my purchase of Zebra I have also brought back the CS-80
I regretted departing with.

Just recently started patching old CS-80 sounds and performance features like the Chorus switches and Ribbon Controller.
But while doing so decided to take advantage of the Physis insane amount of MIDI controls and have created a giant Polyphonic Beast like the CS-80, which on the fly can go from Poly to legato by stepping on a single button of a Boss FS-6 dual switch pedal.

Setting the pedals controls at start>0 and Destination>48 (instead of 0-127) it goes from a full Poly to Legato, no glitches or artifacts.
I compensate for the audio level drop by un muting another pair of Oscillators, adding more Porta and kicking up levels by hitting another switch on the FS-6.
So with a simple step + step I go from poly to Legato, with a mono booster, but also have the Ribbon Controller to use, plus the Chorus Switches, no biggie with Mono, I have aftertouch custom curves for Vibrato/Swell, but the Chorus Switches kick in during poly.

I never enjoyed a virtual synth before other than Scope DSPs Modular IV.

Zebra 2 HZ with a Physis K4 and 8 x Continuous controllers, plus the 4 x scenes and 4 banks makes playing this synth heavenly.

Thanks So Much to u-he and the community.
