Sounds like a lot of work. Thanks, Urs, for fixing the release date of Zebra Legacy. This is a very welcome gift within the November season which probably leads to a reduction of useless purchases.Urs wrote: Tue Nov 01, 2022 12:07 pmPlease give us some time... we'll be working till last minute to add XYs and tag presets. We won't have them all finished completely by the 15th, but I'm sure it'll be worth the wait.carrieres wrote: Tue Nov 01, 2022 11:32 am Can we have the soundsets now or do we have to wait for 15 of november ?
I am the owner of Zebra2 and ZebraHZ
We're even adding a curated library of updated presets from the pre-HS factory library which have been polished and improved by our content team.

Am I correct in saying that Zebra 2 and The Dark Zebra are separate instruments, they are different .dlls?
If so will both plugins receive any maintenance updates? With Zebra 3 coming down the road I don't expect there will be any feature updates to Z2 and TDZ but compatibility and stability updates? (asking mainly for the Mac crowd which I am not a member of)
If I remember correctly TDZ has some filters from DIVA. Does it have any other sound design advantages over Zebra 2? My memory fails me as to all the differences.
Anyway I'm looking forward to checking TDZ out. This is a very generous offer from U-he.

Yes, TDZ contains ZebraHZ.dll, which has a few "early concepts for Zebra3" features. Most notably polyphonic post-VCA-pre-Mix compressors on each of 4 Grid Lanes. It also has Diva filters (by request of Hans Zimmer), but they are not stereo, as well as twice the number of MSEGs, Resonators and additional Comb Filters.
We have always maintained ZebraHZ in parallel, and of course we'll continue to do so!

Ok thanks. I guess what I'm trying to sort out in my head is will I use TDZ over Z2 going forward. I assume DZ will load all Z2 presets while the reverse would not be true.
So Zebra Legacy will continue to be a sold and supported product even after Zebra 3 is released?
Ok that's cool, looking forward to the 15th (two days before my birthday so this will make a nice present).

I use to keep both Z2 and TDZ in my first call synth list, but mainly because I preferred the GUI in Zebra 2 and that I had done years of favouriting in Zebra 2, but now I know how to transfer my Zebra 2 favourites to TDZ AND the skin I use are more or less the same for both (Thanks Wombat), I took Zebra 2 out of the first call list. It is of course there installed still to be used to open the countless older projects that used Zebra 2.
But yes,, TDZ will load Z2 presets but not necessarily the reverse.

Urs, just for clarification...
As an owner of Z2, eying to get TDZ... it would not really make sense to get TDZ right now for 99EUR (apart from the warm feeling introduced by supporting you) and being entitled to get Z3 for free while I can get TDZ along with all the other presets for free "very soon" and add Z3 later "when its done" for around 30EUR, right?
Any catch I might fail to see during a fortnight wait for TDZ to arrive on my harddisk?
