Zebra 2: limit midi note range that triggers osc. or MSEG?

[Mr D]

Hi folks,

Could someone tell me if the following is possible in Zebra 2:

For example: i've got a simple pad and i'm playing a chord (via midi input) on the notes: C3, E3, G3

I've also got a filter. What i want is that when a midi note comes in on C1 (and only C1), i want to trigger an MSEG to modulate the filter.

And........(and this is the tricky part i think), i don't want that C1 note to trigger the oscillator.

So i guess i'm asking how to do two things:

1) how do you restrict the range of midi notes that actually trigger the oscillator
2) how do you restrict the range of midi notes that trigger an MSEG

Perhaps the answer to both is the same?!

Thanks! ........Mr D

Hello Mr.D,

what you can do is tell the oscillators simply to be silent in a certain range.
You could do that by modulating the oscillator volume with a ModMapper. Set the ModMapper to "Key" and in the map draw a flat area where you want it to be silent, and draw high values where you want it to be loud.
In the oscillator, set Vol to zero, then the ModMapper is in full charge of the osc volume.
Hope that helps a little.

Thanks Viktor, that's very helpful, do you have any suggestions how to achieve the second part of my question? (have one midi note trigger the MSEG but nothing else?)

(not sure if there's another way, but this is how I'd do it)
The filters in the synth section of Zebra are polyphonic, applied to each note.
You'd have to use a filter that's applied to the whole polyphonic output of the synth, and you do that in the FX section at the bottom.
Select a filter in one of the FX slots and have it modulated by one of your envelopes.
Now that filter is retriggered by your silent note and affects all notes that you press.

For what you want you can use the amazing Mod Mappers!!

For example, assign the MSEG to say filter cutoff in a mod matrix slot. Then set the amount of depth. Then set the 'via' knob to Mod Mapper 1 and put the value to 100

Next, reset Mod Mapper 1 so all values are 0. Put the Mod Mapper in 'key' mode and drag the C3 key to a value of 100

Now all notes you play will have no filter cutoff modulation by the MSEG except C3

Aha! I'll try that as well.

The Mod Mappers are remarkably useful! They are my favorite mod feature in u-he synths...
