Meet Zebralette 3 at NAMM

[seafire]

Very rare to see a one osc synth these days

Looks insanely complex too (in a good way, and not so good if you get freaked out by that stuff )

For some reason, I've never tried the original, maybe I should....

Look fwd to the NAMM videos.

Quick q: will the new Zebralette 3 replace the current Zebralette? I'm quite fond of the current one, and would love to keep it as well.

New plug-in - lives next to it

Beautiful, thank you!

Waiting...better classic keys...

Will it be able to export wavetables to Serum-compatible formats?

[OCTO8R]

Hi, does it have any Remapping of Modulation, (mostly in MSEG style with Reverse function), Aux Modulation, does it allow switch between Uni/Bipolar modulation with NO changing a Modulator itself, does it have Presets for Modulators/Effects/FX Chain, does it import User Wavetables and is there A/B mode of MSEG that might be modulated too?

Very excited to hear the news!
Thank You! 🫶

Dunno what "Remapping of Modulation" is... like Z2 ModMappers?
Dunno what "Aux Modulation" is, either
Uni/Bi = yes, via ModMatrix - see Hive
No module presets yet, but may come if needed.
It imports .wav files via drag'n'drop, which it then tries to vectorise into a spline based form. A bit hit and miss. Some .wavs work, others don't.
MSEG morphs with up to 8 different curves (currently: 7 - a bug!). Can be modulated, of course.

Remapping of Modulation is smth different if I got Z2 ModMappers clearly. It's like a grade of Modulation and strength of it but tied to notes. It's implemented in the simplest way In Serum and PhasePlant and is really advanced in Vital which makes it to outstand. Allows to Sidechain Effects with the same Modulator, especially after reversing it, or to controll the speed of modulation. Z2 ModMappers are quite different... like advanced Steppers maybe... never met smth like this actually. Creative thins though.

Auxiliary Modulation is actually Modulation of Modulation. Like ADSR modulates Modulation between LFO and Filter Cutoff.

Module presets? Well... I think they would only facilitate users to make presets and exchange them. Just a little extra product monger. Especially if it's presets of FX chain.

MSEG morph - awesome!

Thank you!
Sorry for sort of nagging with thoughts and ideas.

Better WAV I guess. Serum, Vital, Pigments or PhasePlant or any other modern mumbo-jumbo consume WAV easily.

the skin looks beautiful, great job Urs

Serum accepts and exports WAV files (it doesn't use a proprietary format), but there's no standard for saving wavetables in terms of frame size, pitch etc.

Serum's format is as close to a standard as we have because everything loads it. If Zebralette offers an output, it would be great if it outputs to that format for maximum compatibility.

Wow! When did you change your mind? I remember you answering that there were no plans for a Zebralette 3.

[yellowmix]

Great idea to use it as a test bed for Zebra 3 features.

Amazing work. Looking forward to it!

[dayjob]

loving the looks of it. excited to hear it. stoked for all the new under the hood stuff. bring on the NAMM

[bmrzycki]

The Zebra rides again!!

[Urs]

Will it be able to export wavetables to Serum-compatible formats?

Yes. We call it Hive compatibility for some reason, but Serum loads them just fine when added to its library (no need to import or convert first).

We have a key follow modifier that can be applied to anything... still not sure if this is what is asked for. Let's discuss when we put it out?

Zebra then will certainly have various curves and things to map whatever across the keyboard, but we haven't put these into Zebralette.

Our ModMatrix should be Aux heaven. Each slot has a "via source" that multiplies the input modulation. Then, each depth can be modulated by another slot. Like, ModMatrix slots can modulate each other. Hive does this and I think Vital, too.

With module presets we have to weight the complexity of the overall preset vs. the complexity of the section that's "sub preseted". At the moment I think presets for an FX section with just 2 simple FX isn't exactly important, and with wavetable/envelope curve export/import there's no need to also make extra presets for the surrounding Osc/MSEG module.

Serum actually does have a proprietary "RIFF chunk" in the .wav file, which Steve once explained on KVR and which I finally managed to add, and which makes Serum import it perfectly.
