Hello Urs, hello rest of you

"(The user manual is still for version 1.0. A full Zebra 1.5 manual will follow shortly)"
??? ? No prob, I think I got everything now, except...

is there a master tune parameter? If yes, I didn't find it.
I mean a patch independent one - I was working with life musicians again lately who insisted as usual on their 443 Hz tuning; Would be great if I could adjust it globally in Zebra.. Or even better, if Zebra would be aware ot Logic's global instrument tuning Preference value.

What Do you say?
Best wishes

Uli

As far as I know there isn't.

But you can tune every OSC one cent down... of course if you have 20 presets to do that on it's not very practical.

I think in Logic 7 there is an option to globally tune the instruments, but my suspicion is that it's only for the Logic internal instruments. I could be wrong on this.

that's what I meant, i guess that there might be a way for AU Instruments to access this global tune information, but they won't be in tune all by themselves, at least Zebra doesn't, nor does e.g. the Ivory piano.

Now I did retune every osc in every patch... not too amusing;)

Sorry, I've been off a few days. Just came home. So, only a quick answer:

Yeah, I didn't think of a global tuning parameter. I'll implement it in Zebra 2, along with alternative tunings.

Regarding the manual: I have a fact-based suspicion that somebody is working heavily on it

Cheers,

Urs

This is a total hack, but could you insert the Logic Pitch Shifter II on the Zebra track? It will adjust up to +/- 13 semitones in 1 cent increments.

I thoght of that too, but the sound.... yak...

But maybe for speed it works.

Well, you could also create an empty Midi Region, insert a small amount of PitchWheel (Pitchbend has a resolution of 8192 steps - it's finer than Cents!) and copy that all over the place. - I suppose PitchBend is typically +/- 2 semitones in 99% of the presets.

If you need PitchBend within the tracks, I think one could come up with an environment thingy that adds the amount to the PitchWheel.

Cheers,

Urs
