Will we die when Zebra3 will come out ?

The thread title asks: "Will we die when Zebra3 will come out ?"

No you're more likely to die before Zebra 3 comes out........

That's exactly what I thought when I looked at the Title

I used to look forward to it, but no more. When I bought Zebra HZ, the offer that Zebra 3 would be a free update for users made me think that it was in development and probably a year or two off. Clearly that wasn’t the case. U-He’s been very busy with development, but I suspect almost none of it was going into Zebra 3, though things developed for Bazille or Hive might end up in Zebra 3. Buying HZ was probably a factor in how long it’s been put off. When you already have someone’s upgrade money, there’s not much incentive to actively develop the upgrade.

Will I make it to see the day Zebra 3 is released? Probably, but I no longer care as much. Zebra 2/HZ is fine.

There's many, many posts detailing the history of Zebra3 and why all the decisions u-he has been made. Staff coming and going, operating systems upgrades, needing to release other products which then require their own maintenance. Everything since 2011 though has been made with Zebra3 in mind. The filters behind Bazille, Hive and Repro-5. The voice streaming in Repro. Hive's mod-matrix and wavetable playback. The new preset browser. etc, etc, etc...

When Zebra3 comes out, it's essentially have bits and pieces of practically everything that's been released over the past ten years.

To make things easier, here are links to a few of them:

I don't work for the company. I'm just trying to clarify that there was never any robberies. In short, the answer to why Zebra3 has taken so long is "life happens".

The good news it that, as said earlier in the thread, Urs is working on Z3 as we speak. As in, that's what they are actively working right now. I don't want to speak for them, but it's not abandonware and we could all be playing with the first version of Z3 in a year's time. We shall see

To be fair, I wasn’t trying to suggest there was something nefarious going on. I’m just anxious and I want to see/hear Zebra3.

I know all that, and I actually purchased all the synths and effects that U-He has released since the day I purchased HZ, as well as installed every new Zebra 2 version and enjoyed it’s improvements. Still, I purchased Zebra 2 in… maybe 2005 or so, and HZ a few years after that… maybe 2008… so, we’re talking about a 15 year gap, perhaps more if it doesn’t come out next year. I don’t think it’s unreasonable to feel a bit disappointed with the overall timeline, even if it makes sense on some level.

Of course. I remember thinking that Z3 was around the corner back when ZebraHZ was first released. It's been a loooong time coming, but it looks like it might happen in the near future

Urs is gonna love this thread, I imagine it will be locked, like the last one (which mentioned a 7 year wait iirc)

Lesson for all the kids out there wanting to be a dev.....keep it schtum

HZ a few years after that… maybe 2008…

Also Dec 2012....

When we can expect Zebra 3?

In about a year, earliest.

Too many must-have features have piled up, it'll be a major project.

Poor Urs....maybe give him a break, so he can get on with it and have come here to read this guff....

I imagine it will be locked

Yep
