Zebra 3 Public Beta 2 Revision 20552

Yeah... some potential for improvement there...

I have a ticket for that. To at least let people select more odd values, or maybe all step sizes from 2 to 128.

Maybe a button to switch between 2 modes; A: as it is (because it is very handy to quickly dial in) and B: all steps

Just a thought

I think I have an idea for this: The knob works just like it does now, but with shift you get single step increments.

It would preserve the ease of dealing in very common step sizes, but still allow for anything in between if needed.

Hey Urs, hey erveryone,

i wanted to have some modulation arpegiator, just to let the mapper running through (quantised 1/4th, 1/8th and so on). I was helping it, that i set mapper triggering mode to quantise and let it be triggered by an LFO saw. Im using Linux, Im using Bitwig-Studio. It seems to run not really clean, there are some crackles and artefacts.

What error in reasoning i have? Parameters of OSC are precise, 2Khz and all i was thinking of, that would help.

I also found, that using MSEG as an Envelope was bringing crackles and artefacts. Sorry if i bring up some issues that have been already discussed in the forum.

Maybe you could post the presets? Would be easier to figure out what's going on...

Ahh, great solution! Lovely

A way do reduce ui animations would be nice.

Check the preferences section... you can switch them off altogether.

And one big request: add an input for the number of steps in the mapper so we can produce more odd-length patterns that don't lock to the main beat. There are currently mainly many powers of two values.

Did see it, disabling them works perfect.

Just not sure if I get to do it before the release, or next version after... extremely busy...

Some oscillator effect feedback, I'd love it if these were possible:

• the Zoom Out oscillator effect could zoom all the way out

• the Sync oscillator range stopped at an octave, currently it goes slightly over the octave when it's at 100%

• Map-o-Matic - is it possible to do negative RePhase? Maybe I don't know how to use it correctly, I want to be able to do "Bend -" like Serum

• Phase Distortion - are we going to be able to use Curves and Guides here eventually?

You can already do this, you can bend the waveform however you want:

Yes! How else are you phase distorting the sine wave? You can use the curves, I don't see why you would need both.

[JoeLowery215]

Few more requests Urs:

A slight color change for if a modulation is positive or negative (the color that goes around the knobs) Its hard to tell which way is which.

Add ModNoise as an additional mod source in Phase distortion (I've been playing with my CZ synth and it allows noise as an extra modulator, really cool sounds)

A slight "R" or something over the MSEG release dot. I may just be using MSEG wrong, the 2 orange sliders at the top are for looping...but also where the release occurs?

We should be able to merely click on the modulation box and have the destination light up, not have to click the knob.

Any reason why the same editing stamps/features aren't available for Guides?

Best,
Joe

hover (over the modulation box) would be even cooler imho

[Touch The Universe]

The release is not the loop, but whatever is after the loop - if nothing, add another segment there

Are you sure you have the latest beta? Because that is already happening...?

The default release behaviour ("Continue") does not immediately jump to the loop end on release - the MSEG first finishes attack and loop, depending on where it currently is. I guess that is why people might be confused, but it certainly is the best default behaviour.

Bought Z3 awhile back, but never really found a way to midi map the arrows for changing patches, do u-he synths have an option to midi learn the arrows < > for changing presets like TAL synths ?
