Zebra 3 and Zebra Legacy

[Urs]

[TheMaestro]

To differ it slightly from Zebra 2, it should be called Barcode Yak.

How does it feel to almost be at the finish line after over a decade, Urs?

Nearly two!

If you consider that the first evidence of people asking for Z3 was *before* Zebra 2 was released in 2006, then yes, nearly 20 years.

But the first time we sat down and thought about it was 2012. That's just 13 years ago.

I still distinctly remember the heydey of The Dark Knight trilogy, when ZebraHZ was released, and that Z3 was apparently right around the corner. We've all gotten pretty old since then haha!

But then of course Diva took off.

Once a product becomes as successful as that, it's hard to create new products, let alone something as complex as Zebra 3.

Hello, Urs. I really loved Zebra. And seems that Zebra 3 will be out in 2026? And as I can understand it will be free for me? As I was purchased Zebra 2 and Zebra Hz separately. Please, let me know

Read the very first post. All the info is there. If you bought zebra then zebra HZ then yes Z3 is free. That was the deal announced back then and nothing has changed.

Is Z3 finally happening in 26?

Is Z3 finally happening in 26?

We're in the bug fixing / polishing / sound design stage. Some features need a bit more attention, a few things are still in flux a bit. We may add a module or a filter algorithm here or there, or maybe we add them later. But we sure hope to go public beta in November (this year), and release in December or January.

No rush

This is amazing news. Good luck and have fun!

BTW: what about Zebra 4? Have you already made some thoughts about the new features and possible ETA?

[Super Piano Hater 64]

What Zebra 4 needs is a set of steak knives, and the ability to use the curve editor to change the shape of the blades

[Touch The Universe]

Z4 = Reaktor clone + scirpting support for custom modules

ZebraHZ already has this. Extra MSEGs, extra comb filters, and resonators. I know it's true because I can't run my studio monitors without the neighbors calling the cops on me.
