Will this be mostly bug fixes and performance improvements or have new features been added, too?Find my (music) related software projects here: github.com/Fannon

Definitely render existing work.pic_neighbourhood wrote: Wed Mar 26, 2025 9:33 pm Will the new beta break patches from the previous version? curious if I should render everything before installing! Thanks
I think, most significantly, Envelope Attack times will be longer, not sure about Decay/Release. The envelope will be more refined overall.
Some bugfixes may have effect on waveforms and oscillator effects, too.

i use GigPerformer as a host. When i had the editor view open GP would crash.(edit: after some time, not immediately) it would be awesome if U-He could check vs. GP.
some additional info:
For live-play uses is it anyway THE recommended Host.
A little idea: try to create a ADSR one-knob control morph.
you *need* to use the Wdiget system to CC map any midi.
There, in edit mode (key shortcut, Mac: [command+E] ) can you draw curvatures for each CC.
You map the HW control to widgets. You can use many, mapped to same HW control.
Each widget can go to a different parameter. Like 4 widgets to: A-D-S-R, etc.
afterwards you know why GP IS the recommended host for live-play uses
and: runs usually very stable. and: very little latency. And: several other things.
It would be super awesome if Devs could start to notes that GP exists.
in case you´re not allready aware of it.
Zebralette 3, manually controlled by creating morphs, and been jammed from there will be on another next level.
Thanks for reading

I know everything is a wip a this point but I would like to add a suggestion regarding ease of use
On small screens when dragging knobs with mouse, the cursor will often reach the end of screen, and it "forces" the user to reach for the knob again, instead of one single sweep motion.
An example in zebralette 3 is moving the morph curve knob from leftmost position to the right. Cursor gets "stuck" at the top of the screen.
A solution to that is not moving the mouse cursor, it stays on the knob but the dragging motion is registered.
Somehow it allows for larger range of movement.
It's a feature i only see implemented in a few synths, it might not seem like much and it's absolutely not specific to zebra, but it really adds a lot of comfort when working for long hours.
Voilà^^

I can never understand why the scroll wheel isn't used instead of cursor dragging, left click and scroll wheel for coarse movement and right click and scroll wheel for fine movement.
I hate how innacurate cursor dragging is and how sometimes it seems to get stuck and jump about when the knob position reaches the 12:00 position.

Mac mini m4 pro, Reaper, too many plugins, Modal Argon8, Novation Circuit Mono Station and now a lovely Waldorf Blofeld.

It's a nice interface . But it totally crashes my Pro tools in AAX. It did work as an instrument using BC patchwork as a vst 3 . But the AAX just shuts PT 22 something right down.

You can assign LFO 2 to LFO 1 rate in the ModMatrix.wheelD wrote: Sat Dec 20, 2025 5:10 pm Please Add the option to assign the lfo 2 rate to lfo 1 rate currently not possible Please add the final oscs effects from zebra 3 when the release comes thank you
The OscFX are identical between Zebralette 3 and Zebra 3. Should we add more to Zebra 3, they will also be added to Zebralatte 3.
