Hi Everyone,
So I noticed that when changing the LFO from unipolar to BiPolar the arc on the knob doesn't visually change to reflect that. It still looks like it is unipolar. Just wanted to know if this is just how Zebra works or am I missing something?

Thanks!

Which Zebra? 2 or 3?

So the arc is always unipolar because the depth of the modulation itself is unipolar. So the direction matters, as a negative arc signals that the modulation is inverted.

Modulators that can change polarity pose a bit of an issue because a lot of our code is based on the idea that these things would not change. In Zebra 3 we have already done some work to update modulator polarity dynamically, but it has not yet been reflected with the mod depth visualisation.

We will experiment with this, like spanning the arc in two directions for bipolar modulations, and somehow marking positive and negative side to visualise inversion.

Yes, that would be very helpful. Thank you!
