Zebra 3 and Zebra Legacy

[Urs]

I'd love to post some, but workload is heavy atm, and we really are still moving some parts around.

Or some Screenshots:)

Ok, WIP is obvious here... this is how you pick your filter types from a table (yep, that's 87 algorithms atm, and plenty of space to add more should we need to):

And this is the Pitches page where you can set up up to 4 global Pitch configurations, which optionally deviate from the first, for modules that adhere to Pitch, such as Oscillators, Filters, Modal Resonators...

Wow to both - that filter type selection is going to be a blast to use! & the pitch resources... thanks for the glimpses

Very nice! Curious about Pitch as a modulation source. And Math! Will we be able to modulate with derivatives and integrals?

Nah, there are ModMath modules, which replace the former Modulation Mixers. They have a constant parameter and 2 Modulation input which can be combined in various ways, with min and max probably being the most mathematically inclined modes. The ModMath modules can also act as auxiliary LFOs.

But what's probably a lot more interesting to explore than any of the prior, is the new Modal Synthesis part.

^^ bit WIP of course... still showing the file endings of our Modal Profiles which are, well, spreadsheets.

Extremely hard to visualize in my head. I see you have a scope tab, can you route this to the scope like Hive to see the output modulation? Would help a lot.

Yes, absolutely. The ModMaths are there really for when you need them. Most of the time you won't.

Super helpful to have them though! Been doing research into comparator offsets and other logic modules and excited to have some math options in Zebra

Hi Urs could we also have a Diode ladder filter and a Steiner Parker filter as well. Seems most of the previous Zebra 2 filters wont be included?

Sure, we'll see, maybe, later down the road.

Initially, 87 algorithms need to be sufficient, otherwise we won't release anything before it's Zebra 3.8

[jtsterays]

Are the filters with Z2 names old codes or 100% new? And will you include some more digital ones like 48db/oct or 96?

If i wasn't in already, i'd be sold!
Only 87 filter algos? I was hoping for 88 ;-}
