u-he Zebra Legacy

[BBFG#]

I see that ZebraHZ is a different plugin, not just a sound set, therefore if I have it installed and the sound sets are intact do I need to keep the Zebra 2 component file installed or can I slim that down now?

You may not want to. I went through a phase of only using ZHZ thinking the same, but have now found I prefer using Z2 specifically when layering it with certain other plugins (mainly Pianoteq for me), as it balances/blends better and not as heavy-handed as ZHZ can be. Nice way to keep them straight in my head for what I'm trying to achieve in each instance.
As always, YMMV.

What?
once you dont use the extra 'modules' in HZ, it is exactly Zebra2 dsp wise afaik... open a z2 presets in hz and it should null and use the same amount of cpu.

can you still copy/move presets without installing?

Of course you can still move and copy presets around inside the preset browser.
The soundset installer is just an added feature to make installation of soundsets easier for the user.
What you do with those presets afterwards is completely up to you.

Yep tried both ways straight from zip and extracted to folder level but didn't work, I wonder if it's because Studio and all my presets and stuff are on their own dedicated drive rather than C:

You always need to unpack zip files before you can use them.
You first unpack the zip file, then drag the .uhe-soundset file onto the plugin and drop it to install.
As mentioned before, if it shows a symbol that it can't be dropped, then it's either because the plugin is not up to date, or there are permission issues.
The video I posted explains the most common pitfalls.

Thank you-he.

I had a good chuckle at that thinking that would be particularly funny in Canadaish before noticing you were in fact Canadish

in glaswegy it sounds threatening

BTW, awesome deal there...Made me realise what a twit I was selling most of my U-He licenses a few years back when I decided to jump on the "DAWless" band wagon (wasn't that a waste?). Now that I am back ITB, I will be picking up most of the U-he plugs again (not DIVA, never gelled with that snotty nosed bitch...oooh, that sounds a tad harsh)...pretty sharp marketing!!!

Yikes, as someone who grew up just down the road from Glasgow, I always thought we sounded warm and inviting

i have a fair few glaswegian friends, love them all like brothers and sisters, but yup, scary.

it's like "hey, see you pal..." it can go either way!

As I said I managed to solve it manually, the import by clicking on the U-He logo does also work though as I've tried that after the fact I did it the hard way although I'm kind of glad as I didn't really like the folder structure of the presets being in their own legacy folder

Very tempting! Although I've just spent NZ$2000 on my car 'complete' service and insurance, I might find $99 if I squeeze my pockets. Does that include taxes? Or I must add 15% (GST in NZ).

I do have much more than I need though. Actually I don't need it, not even the dark Zebra!

I don't know! I think I will pass
