Is this how you convert Zebra 3 FMO ratios?

This is xmas constantly, never had such high dopamine levels before... Presets are very nice, too!

That yellow filter eats all my CPU, even though I use an M1 pro, at 48kHz and 256 buffer.... TBH this filter seems to be not "production ready" with this kind of cpu usage...

One question: While using KeyFollow in the filter, is 50 like 100% following, or simply 100 is 100%?

First of all Urs, just wanted to say thank you for making Z3, it is a beast so far, the capabilities are huge, and the CPU usage is not really that high for me (yet). I indeed have an M4 Max, which may help, but I also tested it on a 2018 Mac, with Intel CPU, and things go nuts over there, even if using more MSEGs on the filter + pitch of the oscillators, will overheat my laptop and the CPU gets in 120% usage, so I see why you mentioned to be careful using the filters on multiple voices.

However I have a question :

May you confirm if the Resonators from Z2 will be somehow imported into Z3? Or will there be along the road a "Dark Z3" with those resonators? In my honest opinion, the resonators are one of the main effects which made Zebra2 special, so it would be a shame not incorporate them somehow, even if I understand it may be late for that.

Other than that, trying to make a pack along the way, pretty gritty and moody, will send once I'm done with it.

Take care, and thanks again for everything you gave us!


P.S: I also think, I like the theme of Z3.

[viraven8]

Zebra 3 is absolutely amazing, thank you so much for the beta test!

Has anyone else reported issues with the "Burn" effect? It doesn't change the sound, it just immediately jumps CPU to 101% but only when midi is being played. What is that effect suppose to do?

[ffx]

I assume burn is there to burn your cpu, so it works properly...?

[The MIDI Guru]

Congratulations!

Is this the place to file bug reports and feature suggestions? I didn't see a link to do that in the readme.

It's in the EQ module/FX, click on Spectral pan (green) to change to Resonator mode.

It would be nice if the modulation would flash when held over knobs to better see which part of the knob you're changing..

[david.beholder]

Got it downloaded, played few presets and it sounds DAMN GOOD!
There is some new level of cold smoothness in sound

Has Z3 left x/y pads in the past?

Few issues I've encountered:
1. Only Dark Theme, but we've talked about it
2. 80% is too small and 90% is too big – I have standard 16" mac with large text (1312 x 848) - could we have 5% increments?
3. MSEG Mapping scroll bar is frustrating a bit - may be it's possible for lower part to extend so we have second row with/for modulation
4. Control A doesn't respond on changing preset - but may be it's not a bug but feature.

Still congratulations to everyone.

P.S. Also does it mean Half-Life 3 would be here soon?

[dtherrien]

Hmm - I can't seem to purchase a Zebra3 upgrade and when I request my license card, I get the old form that does not contain the License Card information.

Hmm - I can't seem to purchase Zebra 3 upgrade or get my license card. The License information that I get does not have the license card shown...

[Dirtgrain]

Just playing with envelopes right now. I love the design, the rulers in the background, tweaking with mouse scroll wheel. Props to the ones who made that.

[anxiousmofo]

One of the fastest purchases I've ever made. Unfortunately, I'm at work and can't try it yet.

Congratulations to Urs and the U-he team! The moment we've all been waiting for.

I don't know where the euro sign is on my kb.

Mac:
On a U.S. keyboard to type euro you need to press: Alt/Option-Shift-2 = €
On a U.K. keyboard to type euro you should press: Alt/Option-2 = €

Windows:
To type the euro sign (€) on a Windows PC, you can use the shortcut Alt + 0128

Linux:
To type the Euro sign (€) in Linux, you can usually press AltGr + 5
