Please try holding the right mouse button and moving the mouse vertically while over an EQ node.
Yes that. It's already in there and easy, no need really for a different way to do this.

Okay, yeah that works.. except it's not exactly intuitive as it's not "standard" operation.

With right click you need to set frequency, then tweak Q, then fine tune frequency, then fine tune Q etc. etc. Whereas with mouse wheel you can do it all in one motion while tweaking both at the same time. This is why it has become a standard.

I'd be happy to have hover mouse wheel control Q

I just tried Control-Drag and it isn't laggy for me. I mainly use right-click drag for Q. I find that easier than using control key.

I would love some way to adjust all nodes together... especially frequency. It's pretty tedious to move nodes as a group.

Option-Drag on Mac, maybe Ctrl on Win

I know I've been mucking about with it since the first beta but Z3 is one DEEP instrument, and sound-design is not one of my strong points (not even sure if I have any strong points), so I could do with a little hand-holding to help me get the most out of it.
We've prepared three videos for the release, but none are sound design tutorials.

I think we'll spend the months after Superbooth on in-depth videos. Probably starting on the surface (one video next week is about the UI), then going into more and more detail with actual real world examples.

Currently mouse wheel on top of an EQ node does absolutely nothing. Mouse wheel adjusting Q is pretty much standard as it is right now (thanks to FabFilter Pro-Q which everybody has copied).
+1+1+1+1
YES please !!!!
pretty pretty please

imho also true for filterscape/filterscapeVA

the ctrl- doesn't do the trick imho and is laggy
and only works if i first clickt ctrl and then do the click-dragging
and not freely whilst (i.e.: drag the EQ dot then hit ctrl to freely adjust Q) ...



already wanted to write this myself, but took a while
to read through all of those messages...
Fun fact: When I wrote the first incarnation of the visual EQ editor in 2004 or so, I tried scroll wheel for Q and found it too imprecise. People at the same time requested right-click+drag, as this is "how everyone else does it". Times change, I guess. Maybe we should wrap this in a preference.

Oh, sweet! That's fantastic... Opt-right-click drag works for Q too! :love:

Unfortunately, that doesn't help for modulation...

So we can expect the release to happen around next week?

Right mouse click drag adjusts Q... no need for a second hand to use the Control key.

Quick question about Zebra 3 upgrade pricing.

For users who owned Zebra 2 before it was rebranded as Zebra Legacy, is the 30€ upgrade price only available during the beta period, or will it remain the permanent upgrade price?
