Zebra 3 - Analogue Beauty

[surreal]

Is the Yellow filter the wasp?

[Urs]

A simplified model, yes.

This kind of content is perfect for someone like me. I got in to music making around the start of Covid. I own many synthesizers flagship and VA and I really don't understand a lot of the A to B. I don't know a ton about synthesis but I know I love the experience of messing with a synthesizer. Content like this and Anthony Marinelli is invaluable for bridging the gap. I bought Zebra 3 with the intention of it being the synth I learn inside and out so ANY content from beginner to expert involving U-he synths is going to be greatly appreciated and I look forward to it.

I'd try "Yellow" with lots of Resonance and Drive (and maybe even a bit of filter FM).
OTOH I think "Old Drive" could also get you there.

Nice, thanks. I'll try that

Is there a reason that the self-oscillation in the Ladder and Cascade types is not percussive or cannot be heard with the oscillators at 0 volume?

It has a realistic fade-in time. You can accelerate this by sending a short pulse from the exciter module.

Zebra include the same OSC and filter of Diva ?

Again nice to see a video made by you, sharing knowledge how to use Zebra 3... On the other hand I already am able to tie my shoes, maybe the level could be far more advanced? This is a level above "1st step - how to breathe"

u-he's video creator Seb here. Let me voice a couple of thoughts. I have attended numerous trade shows (NAMM Show, Superbooth etc.) for u-he, and you'd be surprised how many entry-level users we have. We want to cater to a broad audience! Experts are invited to dig into our user guide PDFs which are deep and intense and very well crafted (kudos to Howard Scarr!). And as a matter of fact, we do have some deep and thorough tutorials on u-he's YouTube channel. I'm excited to see how any future Zebra 3 deep-dives will be accepted by our audience.

Of course, social media, stories, shorts etc. have changed viewer behaviour and expectations, and we are not blind to this development. This, too, changes how we approach videos. And honestly, it's great fun making these new formats.

We are already releasing more shorts, and that sort of content works great with entry-level, introductory material. And it's a great way to expand our audience! Urs has already explained why we're not ready to shoot more advanced videos right now, and even then we will continue to release videos which are fun and easy to digest.

This type of support is well appreciated here!!! And Grizzellda luvs u-he manuals.

No, not the same. Diva has detail and character immediately available. Zebra is more flexible, so one can use sound design techniques to mimic that detail and character. Diva is specific about her analogue references ("this sounds like that particular hardware"), Zebra is more general ("here we have this type of thing, similar to that kind of hardware").

Zebra can come incredibly close to specific hardware, but it takes a sound design effort. In Diva, no matter what you do, you're always as close to the hardware as it gets.

Thx for clarification
