It's on par with macOS for us - what I meant to say was, while I personally choose to work on Macs, our Win devs don't post as frequently on KVR :clown:

In regards to stray folders you might come across, there's of course the issue that certain plug-in formats are installed in their respective locations. But their data hopefully is installed only once, in a single folder (Diva.data etc.) for all plug-in formats to share, typically linked to by shortcuts.

We measure failures of documentation by how much support they cost, and I think that the whole topic of installation paths is covered well enough in the user guides, after many iterations to optimize that kind of information.

The shift-drag thing was supposed to be remedied by MIDI CCs for "selected" and "fine selected", but that concept never took off. Gotta figure something out eventually, but everyone here also has a lot of other stuff to attend to currently.

It's our top prio atm. Manufacturing is done, we're currently polishing the firmware, optimizing the printed mini-manual and hopeing to have V1.0 ready to show by the end of this month. Or so. Unexpected things seem to always happen, but confidence is very high atm.

With Z2 i like the fact i dont have to worry about wavetables/OSC presets when im done with a patch cause everything is inside that patch.
I wonder how thats gonna be handled in Zebra 3 if (hopefully) its gets support for wavetables like Hive/Serum.
Andy is a support ninja.
