hmm, i have a very unique feature request. Quite small in fact. I´ve not seen that ever in any Synth:

vs. preset management:
- in very short: allow for a own, new, tagging column or so => just alone to tag re. "which presets we´ve already checked/demo-played"



(saying this as an example how it "could" be implemented)
- ad a column in front of the preset names
- ticking it would add a sign, like: " - " or " _ " in front of the name

- the idea: to get an opportunity to set a mark to remember which presets we ´ve already checked / test-played with

- tag each preset, or just set one mark per "preset folder" to mark the last checked preset in that row/folder. leave it to the user.
- ideally even with a key command shortcut re. the right now active preset ( when the last mouse command was vs. highlighting a preset / something like that)



personally, i´m not that much interested to just roll my own presets when it comes to SW synths.
And with Zebra3 that´s anyway another mother of a story.
While i totally understand the workflow to just omit presets completly and just allways roll your own ( donne that with HW / HW Modular anyway)

I recently have that "problem" with nearly any of these new or fresh updated great synths.
Checking out all the presets is *alots* of work. With any of them.
But that work is imho crucial. We lie there a foundation for later work.
That small "little helper" would help to make "that work" more efficient......right ?


....in whatever way you´d implement it ;)

Hope i can trigger here some little thing ;)
(sorry, i´m a man of many words / and not native english)
"Plugin has turned Drug now"....and the business knows it.

Is there any way to get more bass out of the Comb and Modal synthesis modules?

They're highly input-dependant, so feed them signals with less high end and stronger low frequencies. Like, if you use white noise, switch to pink noise, as an example.

1. please improve naming consistency tabs in the lower half of the ui instead of 2, oscylator 2 mseg 2, instead of 2 mapper 2, instead of 2 and so on
,and please make the lower tabs dynamic like in other modern semi modular synths.
2.Some user/factory patches dont load silently
3. after checking presets content do not wow me you have dope tools ,but if this are sounds from pro sound designers then i have no words and i can prove that

We are probably going to work with colours for faster distinction, but we probably won't write them all out.
please make the lower tabs dynamic like in other modern semi modular synths.
I assume you want tabs of things that are not used to disappear. But the things that make them appear are in the tabs. How do you make them appear when the thing that makes them appear is not there anymore?
2.Some user/factory patches dont load silently
Will be fixed soon.

Sorry if you don't like them, but we need to cater for a wide audience.

We already figured out that you don't like them. Maybe it's due to a language barrier that you can't convey your point in a constructive way. Have you considered using an AI-based translation tool?

Zebra 3 should also deliver good sounds, but apparently that's not so easy.I'm not the only one who's noticed that.
But I believe it is possible.I didn't expect that from you Urs!
How do you talk to me?
Perhaps it's because I'm the first one to criticize.
I don't mean that in a bad way ;)

Provide suggestions and constructive feedback, ideas, examples, etc., and a conversation is possible. You just keep saying it's bad but offer no insight into the meaning behind your words. This isn't useful in any way.

I'm saying the presets are bad, not the plugin. You just can't seem to figure that out.I've been a customer for a long time; please put more effort into the sounds.Thank you

I know you mean the presets. But your criticism has no value because you give no reasons, no examples, no suggestions. Please put more effort into your criticism.

The sounds are simply useless to me. They lack depth, they're sterile, you've heard it all before. Nothing new or creative, very boring. I don't want to exaggerate, but it's important to say so.

We clearly have different definitions of lifeless and boring. I find the Zebra 3 library interesting and lively, it is our best effort under the circumstances. It's all highly subjective of course. Sure it's a new synth that everyone needs to learn to from scratch. Will people create better sounds in 3 years? Possibly. You ask for better presets, now imagine we create 300 new sounds now, who's to say you will like any of them? I do not know what kind of sounds you like, and I can't just blindly guess.
Look I'm generally open to concrete suggestions, but you'd have to be as precise as you can with examples.

What's missing is inspiration.And that is the most important thing for a library.
I like dark atmosphere sounds,special fx space sounds.
For example JMJ-Vangelis-Enigma-Depeche Mode-NIN so on ...

Well I disagree.

At least these are somewhat concrete examples, so thank you.
Can't promise anything at this point. While I love a good 80s synth preset, it's not really the main focus of preset development for our new synth.
