It's a little bit sad that it looks like that even u-he team dosen't seems to beleave that zebra3 could bring some big money for them. RIP Zebra3.

That's a very strange interpretation of a quote taken out of context.

Would it be possible to make Zebrify accept multi-midi channel input support (like Zebra) for a wider range of midi mapping capabilities?
Zebrify accepts MIDI CC on all channels. You have a range of 2000+ mappings.
HI! Well, Zebra is limited to 1023 CCs (although it truly accepts multi-midi input channels and works wonderfully). But Zebrify only accepts midi channel 01. At least in Ableton and Cubase only midi channel 01 is recognized regardless of the real midi channel number, which only enables 127 CCs. How can I do it then?
Thank you.
Are we talking about MIDI Learn...?

Sounds like that to me.

Why not doing then updates more regular, with bigger version jumps? Other vendors do that, too, even to extremes. I am amazed by any U-He update.I mean small, but solid and highly functionally increasing updates. For example: Second LFO for Repro, multi.channel out for fx etc, V2, update 50 EUR :clown: Taking a filter from your one synth and add it to the other one, etc. I think you understand what I am trying to outline here. Don't be so strict in 100% original limitations and limit yourself. Reuse your already designed stuff.

If it is useful I think any U-He customer will love to pay for such an update. maybe Zebra3 is another story, because it is the one perfect synth. As you said, publish it more early, with limited features, then later add features, so you already have cash-in. Zebra 3.5 update? Let us pay for it.

Cubase will send all the MIDI data to the plugin with the MIDI channel number set in the Cubase inspector. So if the channel is set to 1 in the inspector, even data you send on, let's say channel 4, will be fed to the plugin with channel 1 assigned to it.

You could either set the channel in the inspector to the correct channel, and/or you could try to use a MIDI plugin included in Cubase, called Transformer (or Input Transformer) to route specific data from one channel to another channel number.

Hi
i have just check Zebra2 as VST3 plugin reports that it has 1 MIDI port with only 1 MIDI channel
info.channelCount ==1
This explains why Cubase sends everything on MIDI Channel 1.

Cheers

When I had just began looking into Zebra, I recall something being said about a free Zebra 3 upgrade, but I don't remember where I read that and want to get the facts straight.

How does one get the free Zebra 3 upgrade (what do I need to purchase)?

Does Zebra 2 and Dark Zebra pack go on sale?

Where is the best place to purchase it for an American? (seems more expensive on U-He's site for me?)

Post

If you own Z2 and The Dark Zebra you get Z3 for free.

This has probably been answered somewhere, but will all the presets that are currently available for Zebra 2 (up to 2_8) be usable and sound the same in Zebra 3 when it comes out, do you think?

Somehow I think this is one of the reasons for the z3 delay
