Yes, but for many situations it would be helpful...

In one of the Diva betas it was possible to look at mod sources in the oscilloscope.

It was useful, particularly for seeing what combinations and modulated modulators (eg, lfo into quantise) did.

We'll bring that back one day.

Thank you,Urs

Yes, that'd be good.

I've been thinking about this:

Anything a user writes in the patch description travels with the preset. I could, for example, include the following in a preset description - "Tags: Analog, Polysynth, Oberheim ...etc". If I subsequently shared the preset, that information would go with it.

Making this an implicit function of the preset description, perhaps with a separate "User Tags" text entry field, would allow both tagging systems, fixed and user-created, to exist side by side.

Hi, I would appreciate an option for filter cutoff to be displayed in frequencies on all synths but especially zebra. This has been asked for before I know. It would just make it more convenient when copying patches between synths and following a patch cookbook like welsh's synth cookbook which I'm reading now.

Diva env attack seems to be shorter than attack on Prophet 6. I find it very strange.
May be it worth to have some setting in Diva for extra long envs? Mfb Dominion has one.

I am still anticipating a consolidated installer for u-he products. As soon as one owns more than a hand full of your tools ... updating is a bit tedious

tedious?? It is exciting cause that means there are new goodies!

I am still anticipating an installer for Zebra that does not include Zebralette and Zrev..

Value units are an ongoing project, a lot of parameters need refactoring for that.
Maybe sometime this year, but we can't make any promises yet.

Might happen sometime in the future, but no fixed plans yet.
So distant future rather than near.

Not going to happen AFAICT.

Putting the tags into the individual presets files themselves would require the plugin to know what all of those presets and tags are before the user can search. And what's the sense of having tags if you don't use them to search/filter.

That means there would have to be thousands of "read file" operations, one fore every preset, where the plugin opens the preset, parses it for tags, stores the tags in a dynamic (=RAM) kind of array/database and then moves on to the next preset. This could mean a delay of several seconds during which the plugin is unresponsive.

When would you prefer this kind of delay, when opening the plugin or when accidentally clicking the patch browser button?

One could also have the delay happen only once when loading the plugin first, I guess, but that would mean keeping the "database" stored in RAM while the plugin is loaded. Have a couple of plugins open, maybe different ones as well, instant RAM hog.

Having a central "tag file" or something would only mean one file read operation when opening the GUI, one quick "store all this in RAM", and probably no noticeable delay.

(btw: these are not "official reasons and explanations", it's just what came to my mind while considering the matter.)

Bazille Improvements

I'd really like the copy paste options from Hive. Particularly for Osc's... Copy Osc 1 and Paste to Osc 2 (for example) would copy all the knob values and the inputs, but ignore the outputs since you cannot have 2 identical outputs.

A slower speed option for the ramps. I use the ramps to control the mappers and they do not get slow enough.

Random modulator be different for each iteration. If I drag 3 cables from random to 3 Osc's, they are each the same random... different would be better.

Ability to modulate Sequencer speed

Am curious if there are any other PD waveforms that would be interesting. Impulse is wildly useful...

@ #rob

Alchemy did/does scanning of presets to (re)build tags database. Initial scan took a while but subsequent would just scan files that were modified/added after previous scan, I believe. AFAIK, Big Tick implemented the new browser for Alchemy, similar to his Zen product.

Having tags outside of presets is better because it allows custom tagging without ever modifying the preset file itself and it's easier to share tags (crowd-tagging) since tags for commercial libraries could be easily distributed when they are completely separate from libraries.
The issue, as usual, is with libraries having different file structure and naming conventions, and then users moving things around. I, for one, combined all The Unfinished libraries for Zebra I purchased into a single folder - more convenient to browse. However, if there was a better browser with "by author" filter, I would not need to do that at all.

Good luck with tagging system.

+1 to those, thought the same but never got around to ask the good people @ u-he myself.

Would be very helpful yes, option between that and the behaviour it has now when needed would be nice.

Improvements!
