I created a nrew topic for this because this gui lag has nothing to do with oversized panes , since zebra's background is still the samme size

I found out what the biggest problem is in 2.7.2 and other updated u-he plugs
When changing a control that reflects its changes in another (bigger) window , like the wave knob reflects its changes in the waveset window , the modmap in the bigger modmap window (when maximized ), and even the eq dsp in the effects lane
Or actions that include mousesweep/draw over a certain range (like in the max.modmap/waveform window )
Then the gui elements of my host slow down/lag , the position of these gui elements on zebra's interface determine the amount of lagging .

When the wave knob is assigned to the xy controller 1 , the gui elements are NOT slow down , when assigned to xy 2,3 or 4 lagging begins .
Same for the fm key scaling , adjusting this for fmo1 = almost no lag , adjusting them for 2-->4 creates lag ,iow the further to the right on zebra's gui , lagging begins.



Is there a new sort of overlay system in the waveform window/modmapper ?

In combination with my host renoise , when using the comp kbd to play notes (it's a tracker ) and at the same time perform the above described actions with zebra , lag + notes not even coming through .
When assigned to a midi controller , the problem is gone .
Is there a new sort of overlay system in the waveform window/modmapper that introduces a noticeable overhead/lagging ?






I installed zebra 2.7.O before the update and these problems were not present (2.7.0) .
Also since zebra's background gui has stayed the same in size , it's fair to say that the problems arise from the new settings dialog/update and whatever it does under the hood .
Sure , my laptop is old and my graphics card is under specified ( no gamehead here ) , but the annoyances this update brings are just a pita .

@ urs , when I buy zebra is it possible to get version 2.7 instead of 2.7.2 ?

So I assume nothing will be done about this and I will probably need to upgrade to a faster p.C.
Still sucks though , zebra's audio engine has stayed the same since 2.7 , this update adds lag .

No worries, we'll look into it.

Once Viktor is back from vacation he'll create a ticket internally, then once we have a bug review (next up in January, I guess) one developer will get this ticket assigned. That developer will check things out once he can. Sending a bug report to support at u-he dot com may be more efficient and includes the possibility of a notification when it's done. Sometimes we also need the people who report something to verify the fix, which we can often only do for bugs reported via email.

That said, yes, older versions of Zebra are available, but I wouldn't recommend using them.
