1) But here is a good thing. Softube even did not bother about "low CPU" whiners. So that will mean awrything will be high end and not watered down. I care about people who listen to music i make and i want to give them the best.
2) By reading Uhe forum i got impression that Uhe wants to pleasure "low CPU" whiners so that will mean compromises in Zebra modules. And at my opinion it will totaly sucks if Uhe will go this route. Because there have to be a lot of garbage already awailable with low CPU requirements. But to make something high end almost always requair high CPU. And unfortionaly there is a very limited number of music companies who make truly high end music products.
Hopefult i am wrong about Uhe. And certainly i wish all the best to Uhe.
Will U-He stick it's spoon in modular soup?

With the demo of zebra2, I was able to bump the cpu usage quite high quite quicklySuloo wrote:hm, zebra, podolski, triple cheese?Lejurai wrote:Maybe the only cpu friendly U-He synth is Hive

strange, zebra is widely known for being a cpu efficient synth. Wonder what patch design you applied there.

XMF can chomp some CPU in certain modes (especially the latest added Tyrell-outtake filters)...

The most popular NI(exept Reaktor) and Spectrasoniks are not high end. Even though they ofer some intresting products the quality is unfortionaly not high end.liquidsound wrote:And now I would like to know that list of limited companies based on chilly7 "baseline evaluation system".lnikj wrote:And u-he isn't one of them?chilly7 wrote:I think a developing Zebra 3 might be an alternative to Softube modular.

High end ones are:
Audio interfaces: MSB technology.
With software? Slate Digital, Softube, Uhe is one of them as well and so on. How ever with recent Zebra 3 tolking of low CPU i afraid they might compromize it in order to make low CPU.
I will not tell all high end musik companies because this is not a thread for this.

Zebra saves CPU by design. Unlike ACE and Bazille, Zebra does not need "wires" which can be patched in circles. And if things can't be patched in circles, by design, CPU can be tamed drastically without any compromise.
So, as long as we don't make Zebra3 "patchable" (and why would we do that?) there is no need to spend utterly much CPU.
