What does "slow" equate with in terms of milliseconds?
Good idea, please send a MIDI clip or DAW project file with a typical pitch slide from your Linnstrument 200, that'd be great. A pitch slide from the L200 sends pitch bend data, right?
In Zebra 3, which pitch bend range have you set?
Your Linnstrument, have you set it to send continuous pitch or perhaps quantized to semitones?

Yes. Sliding down, or up, across the keys produces pitch-bends/slides...

And I've got Zebra-3 set to the standard -/+ 48 semitone range.

Pitch is continuous, and I am using a semitone quantize setting on the LS...

But I use that with a number of MPE instruments (frequently three different ones in fact that also have the same type of scale-aware MPE that works with MTS-ESP), and all of these produce perfectly smooth, unbroken, note-to-note MPE pitch-slides.

Thanks for your reply. It really is just a matter of the slew timings not being long enough.

What a nice surprise this morning! I like the new skin, and thanks for this update!

Any plans for Folders (for MSEG sorting) ? Zebra3 do not read folder presence for me.

You can create folders and organize your MSEG presets (same for other modules). Once you put at least one MSEG preset in the folder, you will see it in Zebra

Thank you for the update.
Loving Zebra 3... sounds wonderful.

One favour to ask please.
Please can you allow midi control of the patch up and down arrows (left and right i know!! ).... would love the freedom to investigate without using mouse or keyboard all the time. Thank you in advance.

Hi everyone, Zebra 3 just got updated to version 3.0.2 (revision 22175). You can download it from the product page.

We fixed an issue with the control ABCD parameters resetting the sound when the GUI was closed and reopened.

Just tried drag & drop waveform import on Linux and it works!

Debian 13. Tried Bitwig 5 but it didn't work, also no luck when hosting via [vstplugin~] in PureData, but tried it in Ardour 9.7 and it worked just fine. So I has me a way to experiment with that function now and I am most grateful to ye.

Hello, thank you for update, but there are some issues that have not been fixed in the zebra3 3.0.2 version.
1. In the oscillator effects, in the "Window" effect, the first oscillator says "polarity", but in oscillators 2-4 it says "bipolar".
2. In the "Spectral Focus" effect, the "Overtone Set" label in the 3rd oscillator is slightly higher than in the other oscillators.

Both issues are present in FX1 and FX2 slots.

Hmm, we had actually fixed that a long time ago. No idea why it got reverted.

I even completely reinstalled zebra. The problem still exists.

Yes, I noticed that the issue is back in the current 3.0.2 release version. We had fixed this right after you mentioned it the first time and it was fine, this was all tested and verified as fixed. There must have been a later commit which accidentally reverted this fix.

Does it work for the OSC presets also?

Had a short look on the two main issues for me:

-No free MSEGs, means beeing retriggered with new note
-A-D controllers state not saved

and as far, as I had a look on, these topics are now way better solved and adress my former problems very well. Zebra is much better usable for me now.

So thanks for taking the feedback and providing this update!
