Both this Zebra3 final beta and Zebralette3 don't scan correctly on REAPER.
Here is some info.

REAPER 7.67 pre.
I run ldd --version and glibc 2.39 is reported.

I already emptied the HOME/.u-he/ subfolders and the u-he .vst3 and .clap folders, tried reinstalling, no dice...
REAPER reports them as "failed to scan"

Thanks,
Mario

I've noticed that INIT (via right-clicking on the patch name display) doesn't typically yield the init patch when running Zebra 3 within Bitwig 6, running Clap version on MacOS.
On Logic Pro 12.2, INIT seems to work fine.

This new UI looks 😬 but I'll test it cause it might surprise me.

The completed soundest is amazing - still only up to bells. This would be a great synth for horror fx - some of the patches are so creepy and even make me feel a bit dizzy - there is so much movement they feel alive

Wow Modal Village - very playful!

Edit: Done. Case closed. 40.000 line txt-files are not for me :-?
:lol:

Yup... it's kinda intimidating!

But I hated the menu gradients enough that I had to go figure out how to get rid of them... then I decided to tweak something else... and something else... now I figured out pretty much everything. :tu:
I am asking myself, when I have the time and energy, if I should give GPT or Claude a run to try to change things for me.

any word on this? The way to select a FX Filter is..well.......not good...

Here is a single static saw wave going into an EQ... The EQ isn't a workaround, it's a flexible tool in its own right and sounds good.

SOLVED - I had the ntfs partition with u-he data folder mounted without "exec" :)

I don’t have any issue with the EQ’s sound. Everything in Zebra 3 sounds good. It’s more of a workaround in the workflow - the natural and straightforward way of thinking and workflow would be something like this: if I want a filter, I’d go to the filter module and choose the filter I need. Of course there are many other ways to achieve the same result, but they are all somewhat alien to the workflow. And these are the things making Zebra feel more convoluted than it should be…

That is in the same state as multiple outputs. Same project that we want to get back to once we find the time to do it.
Ta very muchly :tu:

Post

could somebody please repost the instructions vs. how to backup the sound presets incl. the tags. So we don`t lose the taggs with the next update.


I searched this thread, and my notes. I couldn`t find it.
"Plugin has turned Drug now"....and the business knows it.

Could anyone confirm please?
It sounds like the same problem I'm having, in which case, I can confirm. See viewtopic.php?p=9214039#p9214039
