Zebra3 Info

Hehehe, we'll show *something*, but a release isn't likely. Same for Repro-5 which we hope to showcase as well.

Urs,
I'm not sure if you are saying Repro-5 isn't likely for ever being released, or likely for eventual release. Not sure why you would show it off if you don't ever release it.

Oh, sorry, i was ambiguous: A release *during* Superbooth is not likely. Meaning, the release itself is very likely, just at a later time. Too much stuff to clean up, and Repro-5 isn't even far enough to start preset design.

Urs,
Good to hear the release of Repro-5 is very likely. Is it too soon to say whether it is a separate product from Repro-1, or a free update for Repro-1 owners, or cost a bit extra for existing Repro-1 owners?

Thing is, I'm afraid to unveil our exact plans before it's finished, or at least until Repro-5 is at a point where we can post specs and screenshots. Otherwise we'd see more and more people buying Repro-1 today based on expectations that Repro-5 might not meet. After all, there is a reason Repro-1 is not polyphonic, and in order to get it there a lot of features had to be dropped. We're trying to compensate that with other features, but still... it isn't exactly the same synth.

Much more impatient about Zebra2.8 than Repro-5 TBH
Just bought Z2 a couple of weeks ago, and am waiting for the new version to fully dive into it (and to print the manual ah! I guess I'm much more oldschool when it comes to reading than patching synths hehe).
Meanwhile, Bazille keeps me busy.

I think there are already people who bought with that expectation

maybe for users who bought first month to at the release to get plugin "upgrade"

[Urs]

Yes, and wherever the question came up, I told them not to

well i could argue with that as it was more like "you dont know what you might miss later" nevertheless those who dont risk dont drink champagne

Well, we figured out how to let people demo it first, before they get on board - for the same conditions as those who bought Repro-1 without knowing what they'd get. Only of course, latter have Repro-1 for a few months earlier and hopefully put it to good use!

Urs,
It certainly would be nice if you had a Unison mode if Repro-5 becomes a product, especially if you can't have all of Repro-1's nice effects (OK, I see you answered that in another thread). Though I think Repro-5 should at least have a delay effect.

The only effect we're likely to drop/replace is JAWS. It's too CPU consuming for per-voice distortion and out of that is just plain noise. Lyrebird, ResQ, Drench and Sonic Conditioner will probably remain in Repro-5 as they are in Repro-1.

Off topic (sorry):

Would someone be so kind as to direct me toward the most active Bazille thread? (If there is one, that is.)

But if i understand that JAWS might come to Zebra 2.8. Or did i misunderstood that maybe then?

[EvilDragon]

Zebra 2.8 will get two wavefolders, yes.

[Urs]

They're not exactly the same though. The Zebra one has a few more features but it doesn't have the built-in modulations.
