Zebra 3.0 - out now

[Grizzellda]

Speaking of syncronizing waves...is this "hard sync" you guys are referring to? maybe not, but my ol' hardware Wavestation EX has a quite basic form of hard sync, and even a wave called "pro sync", in the sample ROM, because that is what it is, a sample player, but somewhat sophisticated, especially for the early nineties. The "pro sync" wave seems to have been specially designed for this effect. The "hard sync sweep", kinda like a flanger. ...

I am highly confident that Z3 can do this...and more!

I figured out the problem. I still think this is a bug. If you assign mod wheel through the main interface and then assign controller 1 through the MIDI control center, they conflict. You have to do both assignments through the MIDI Control center.

Now it's smooth on both controls. Problem solved. But I still think this is a bug. You should be able to assign through both places since we have the option to do so.

ModWheel is MIDI CC #1, so it's the same thing.

Actually, I meant controller A. They are A-D. Is A mapped to CC 1? If so, if I assigned the slider to Controller B are you saying they won't conflict?

You can map Control A..D to any MIDI CC you want, including #1 which is Mod Wheel. Up to you. The factory default is 2, 11, 75, 76 which usually don't conflict with anything.

If your hardware controller has a ModWheel and if one of the faders or knobs on that controller is set to CC#1, then your controller has a conflicting setup. The ModWheel sends CC #1 and the fader sends CC #1 as well. Is that what you're saying?

Okay, here's what I just did and I'm totally confused.

I brought up 2 osc. I assigned Wrap and Zap to osc 1, Control B. I assigned Sync to osc 2, Control C. Neither of then respond to my sliders but both are responding to mod wheel. Why?

I have slider 2 set to CC 2 breath controller. See screen print.

Yet when I try to assign it it won't control sync but mod wheel does. This is why I'm confused.

There are two possibilities:

a) You have set them to respond to CC #1 on the MIDI Configuration page, which looks like this:

Remedy: Do not use CC #1 for these assignments


b) Your DAW has its own MIDI Learn functionality and you used your DAW's MIDI assignment feature to assign these knobs to the DAW's MIDI system:

Remedy: User your DAW's MIDI assignment system to map those knobs to some other CCs

If that does not help, my support team is much better at figuring things out and explaining them...

Okay, problem solved. My MIDI Configuration page was a train wreck. I had so many conflicting assignments (not sure where they came from) that I'm surprised anything worked. I deleted everything and now have a fresh configuration. When assigning slider 1 to filter cutoff, it works perfectly. Plus, it does not respond to mod wheel any longer.

Thanks Urs. You are the best. That's why I own everything you've ever made. I can't say that about a lot of companies.
