Zebra 3.0 - out now

[Touch The Universe]

I just sent 150 presets for consideration for the factory bank, in the next update perhaps. I hope that's okay, even if late as I was only now able to finish them. I believe urs, you said it was okay if the deadline was missed an to send them anyway, so I was hoping they could be looked at. No pressure, of course. I understand if it's too late.

That's great... you can never have too many presets. Big fan of your work by the way.

Thanks brother. It might be a while yet. Seems the preset guy is busy. Urs you hiring? I can test presets, can be short term, like just for this synth and bank. Haha, or maybe there is someone elese unbiased willing to help the urs team out?

Real talk—does Zebra 3 actually sound better than Zebra 2, sonically speaking?

Objectively, yes, absolutely. We used more modern algorithms all the way. This was one of the main incentives to rewrite from scratch.

Their base sound isn't the same though. There are certainly tons of presets for Zebra 2 that can't be replicated in Zebra 3, but it is even more difficult to go the other way round. That's why they're separate products.

We will continue to support and maintain Zebra 2, but Zebra 3 is the future.

We get a lot of feedback from sound designers who, once they got the hang of Zebra 3, they couldn't go back to Zebra 2.

Hod do you do glide or portamento in this thing? I've tried modulating pitch with an envelope but it's meh. Any suggestions?

Click "Pitches" on the top left, locate "Glide" on the left half way down, find a knob labelled "Amount" and turn it up.

Thanks Urs. I never noticed that before. I spend most of my time in the middle and bottom of this thing.

Did 'Touch The Universe' get their presets added? That would be nice....

[EvilDragon]

Not sure actually.

Doesn't look like it - at least there are only 20 from TTU and those were in the first download

quick question, currently I'm marking favorites every preset in orange/ #4 , due to the grey on grey is hard to see ,but I just want to make sure I'm not missing here ,or any u-he synths, is there a simple way to rearrange the favorite colors, like make the orange color #1 ?

Every patch seems alive and breathing
