I find the behavior of the module groups odd.

Say I make a group with 3 modules, and another group with 2 modules in the second column. When I select Group 1 (with the 3 modules in Column 1), all 3 modules are selected. If I click on one of the modules in the grid so only it is selected, it leaves the group and shows everything again.

Is this a bug? or intended? Seems like it should stay on the group until I deselect the group.

As a hobby, I’ve been working on a Japanese translation of the Zebra3 manual.
I’m quite confident in the level of detail I’ve achieved. Beyond just translating, I’ve added my own supplementary notes to clarify features that are often misunderstood or particularly complex. I take pride in these notes and examples, as I believe they can be a great help to users regardless of their native language.
If you’re interested, please feel free to download it. Even though it's in Japanese, I hope that running it through translation software might still offer some valuable insights. My notes use practical, hands-on terminology, so the core meaning should come across even with machine translation (though there may be some quirks here and there).
To make it user-friendly, I’ve set my personal comments in a purple font, and any reference materials are placed right next to them. This should make it very easy to distinguish my additions from the original text.
Zebra is truly an incredible synth. Glory to Zebra!

Woah :shock:

To be honest, I’ve been wondering why Zebra isn't as popular in Japan compared to Diva or Hive. I used to think it was because of its complex architecture, but Zebra 3 is truly innovative—the sound is incredible and the concept is brilliant.
However, it’s almost too advanced. I feel like it’s difficult for the Japanese market to fully grasp, and it won't really take off here unless there’s a manual written in clear, accessible Japanese.
I want more people in Japan to experience this amazing synth, and I want to prove that we Japanese are as diligent and hardworking as they say. Please support my mission with a kind heart. Thank you.

Hi U-he Team,

If I want to use the Mapper as an arpeggiator, is it possible to display the values in the editor in semitone increments rather than just as percentages? Or to visualize the lines in semitone increments?

I think I've found a bug in the Matrix (apologies if already reported/known)

Init patch.
Assign MW to ENV1 Decay and Release, add some modulation values.
Close Z3 UI then open again.
The mod slots are there, but the slot numbers, source and dest labels, and modulation amounts are invisible.

The issue is repeatable in a fresh project with Bitwig or Reaper.
Win10 (latest ESU), Bitwig 6.0.3, Reaper (7.69), clap version of Z3 RC1 21793.
AMD Ryzen 9900, AMD Radeon 9070

EDIT:
It is repeatable only if the UI scale is not at 100% (I'm typically at 110%).
Resetting the UI scale to 100% and closing and re-opening the UI restores the missing information although it is lost again if you scale to any other size.
.
Am getting this in FL Studio on my PC. If I delete an affected mod slot the remaining affected mod slots revert to a proper state. I can then 'undo' the deletion of the slot and they stay fixed. Also, only grey colored modulators seem to be susceptible.

will be fixed in the release version

Not sure if the same issue as the previously mentioned one, but I have an issue with the EQ - clicking on a node makes the rack panel scroll to the top.

This is macos, Ableton.

Have some presets been duplicated, or renamed from one revision to another?

For e.g. the presets named: "Bossillator" and "Can Do Melody Too," located under the Drum Loops category.

Edit #1: I also noticed another two: "Matt Shakin Bacon" and "Matt's Shakin Bacon."

Edit #2: Yes. Deleting all presets from the factory folder and then reinstalling seems to have removed any duplicated/renamed presets.

It isn't much to hear on it's own, but I love this trick and I'm so happy that I can finally do it "in house"

I think Zebra 3 is an exceptional instrument, so I bought it recently. It has been a pleasure discovering it. The only minor thing I wanted to mention is that the text shown in the center (where explanatory text is displayed when hovering over controls) feels a little small to me. I wonder whether it could perhaps be made slightly larger.

Interesting, to me that doesn't happen.
