Of course, giving dedicated control over reset-behaviour is not everyday's use-case. But, e.g. I wanna make a sound, which when releasing the key has a certain pitch-down behaviour in the release phase. Today I couldn't do it with the MSEG, I would need to mess around with the ENV and hope, that I get the pitch-down-curve to near as I want to have it, instead of beeing able to draw it directly as I want.
Draw the pitch down curve you want in the release section of an MSEG. Set the MSEG Release Mode to Immediate. Done.

I ran across something that doesn't seem like it should be intended behavior. Perhaps it is.

Init a patch
Go to the Pitches Tab and on Pitch 1
Assign Pressure to Vibrato Depth
Assign Mod Wheel to Depth as well
Now go back and select Pressure again:
I just tried this and cannot confirm the result you see. Works as expected for me. I'm on Mac.
I see the yellow disk in Windows. Must be a Windows build issue if you're not seeing it on Mac

"I" opens up the Inspector

"p" opens the Graphics Editor (useful for pngs)
Thanks but I must be doing something wrong. None of those letters do anything even with "Allow Plugin to Handle Keystrokes" enabled. :?

Thanks for testing. That would seem to point to it being a bug if the behavior is not cross platform.

It is 100% reproducible on Win 11 and 10 here.

Here's a screen capture from Win 11:

FL Studio and I tried Tracktion Waveform as well but I've never tried to get keystrokes to a plugin with it.

I added a screen capture to my last post showing the Mod issue.

Just tried Sonar same result. Must not be my day...... :?

I just tried it on Win 11 in Live 12 Lite. Same result.

Keystrokes to other plugins do work in FL Studio with the same setting so maybe it's an issue with the Windows version of the Editor. :shrug:

Anyway since the Knob Pointers are actually .png files which I can edit I just did it manually. Really makes a difference when they stand out better. Now all I have to do is hunt down the pinkish MA 1-4 bits and change them to the orange above and I'll be done with that edit.

Thank you! This color-coded version really helps me a lot!

Ok I have updated it - follow Urs' instructions, then you can right-click on the Zebra 3 title (where you also change the resolution) and select the theme from there. I had to close then re-open the UI as the modules all disappeared.

EDIT: Just select your newly named skin in the preferences menu the way you do with other u-he synths.

That's where the Math Module color is set.

Excellent, that's it. Thanks! :tu:

I decided to go with red.

Am I going nuts or did the four corners box always show when selecting a knob? I'd swear it wasn't there before. I can barely remember what I had for breakfast.

Teksonik - the 4 corner boxes are probably because you enabled "key control"

How can we increase the env release? 12s is way to short
