Zebra - create a pitch rise in 1/2 steps (by MW or ENV)

I'm trying to create a rise in pitch by 1/2 steps. The OSC should be controlled by the mod wheel, or assigned to an ENV to rise pitch upon striking a key. The pitch should rise several octaves by half steps. I can make it glide/rise by either method but not sure how to get it to rise in steps. Your advice would rock!

Not sure what you mean by "1/2 steps" (semitone, half semitone or else?). But anyway, you can use Mod Mapper for that.
On OSC panel:
- choose ModMap1 as modulator for Tune and set modulation depth to 12 (or half the range you want to modulate through)
On ModMap1 panel:
- set Mode to Map Quantize
- set modulation source (MOD) to ModWheel (or Env1 or whatever you want to control the pitch rise effect with)
- set Steps to 24 (full range that you want to modulate through)
- right click in the editor and choose: shapes > ramp
- optionally: right click in the editor and choose Quantise 24

Half steps, meaning semitones. That worked beautifully! Thank you!

For semitone steps over a 4 octave range, do this: Set the map size to 48 and pitch modulation depth to maximum (also 48). Create the ramp (shapes/ramp in the map's context menu) then apply "make unipolar" function from the context menu.

These both worked great. Now I'm trying to make each note/tone in the rise have a very short decay. Any ideas?

That idea reminds me of Suzuki "Omnichord". Don't think it's possible in Zebra, but might be in Bazille.

Yes, that's the type of think I'm going for.Howard wrote: Wed Jul 24, 2019 8:13 pm That idea reminds me of Suzuki "Omnichord". Don't think it's possible in Zebra, but might be in Bazille.
