About DIVA...

I have noticed something unpleasant... There is some weird ringmod-like noise when using the DCO sub at lower slider levels. It's especially noticeable with transpose at 2'. Wasn't there in 360 but is in 467-674.

On a site note about the digi envs which got slower after 360. I did a fast comparison to my jp-6s envs. And a 0 attack it seems, according to my daw, that on the jp-6 there is no attack at all. It goes straight to decay...

As always, thanks for the hard work...

Cheers

We'll check hat out... is there a chance you can send us an audio file to support at u-he dot com?

Not happening here (AU version) i.e. at least I can't *hear* anything wrong.

Confirmed - the minimum attack of the DIGITAL envelope appears to be too slow (slower than the other 2 models).

That used to be visible in the scope IIRC...

In case somebody else (or I for that matter) has already suggested this, please consider this a +1..

I had incredible fun with the Uhbiks yesterday (been a while since I had to work with 64 Bit Cubase for a while) and what I'd really love to see is a UHBIK-V Vocoder. Sidechain and all. I was under the impression that Uhbik-G offered something along those lines but that must have been one of those things which are only happening in my head.

And then, the Fuzz in Runciter could really be taken to the next level if you added a "starving" parameter for the gate voltage. I know that I mentioned this before but it's still a great feature me thinks. Just give Sascha one of the Z.Vex Fuzz pedals and let him have some fun with it. It allows a very different kind of sound destruction which would improve Runciter quite a bit (although it is really sweet on bass and drums already).

Then Uhbik-T.. Maybe I'm just stupid but is there a way of having the gain loss appear on the off beat? When I play guitar through it, it does just the opposite of what I expect (which would be loud on the strokes, muted in between). In case not, please consider it.

Have a great weekend!

The 'phase' knob is the thing here, it will offset the start point on shape of the tremolo.

The shape of 'Wave x 2/3/4' is actually 2/3/4 cycles, and for pattern modes you can see the phase offset as a tick on the bar beneath the grid. Especially when using the scale/wave/symmetry knobs I find the most musical effect tends not to be exactly at, sort of even divisions of phase like 0, 25, 50, 75.

[e] There are some differences between the ultimate result of wave vs. pattern modes, sometimes the 'right' sound even for a simple trem can be done better or easier in the pattern mode (coincidentally, shameless plug for examples in my signature

)

I'd like to chime in here to suggest an improvement for Zebra UI; this is something I've been willing to have but it doesn't seem it's there yet: a screen or display that summarizes (and eventually allows changing) all used modulations (what modulates what and in what extent); something like the XY modulator settings but extended to all modulations active in the current patch.

I'd use it a lot to study presets and while building my own sounds; honestly, I found the modular GUI of Zebra absolutely great as it is, but it's easy to loose track of all modulators involved in a patch.

Thanks,
Mario

Excellent idea, mabian!

ummm, Mabian, that really is a very good suggestion!!

A suggestion for Zebra 3: how about a resonant filter bank? Something along the lines of the

I guess there's cross over with Zebra's Comb module (=resonant comb filter bank?) but, going on that vid, Prism's modal bank looks to offer considerably more functionality.

Perhaps extend the Comb module beyond comb filtering, call it a "Resonator" module or something?

Yes! I requested it earlier and compared it with Sculpture's "Body EQ". It would be useful! Although combination of EQs, Filters and Combs can be used for realistic body, but it is often more like kind of magic than sound design.

We have a resonator module based on a certain string synthesizer... but it isn't any complex model that needs convolution or anything.

IR Convolution is a whole other kettle of fish.

Sonically too much overlap with Z2's existing comb filters (i.e. not worth it IMHO).

Sonically there's a huge amount of overlap between, eg, Z2's various LP filter types, but they're still worth having.
