Very interesting "deci-bell" tutorial

I agree. When Howard added the decimate I thought it sounded very harsh and dissonant...and then he added th 12dB LP and the magic came out. It's made me re-think preset building to a degree...Don't throw out that patch because it sounds harsh, maybe a little filtering/eq can make it magical.

I love the LP12 filter as a final module... it can tame some harshness, add shimmer and lovely timbres

just wanted to congratulate/thank you Urs for these great tuts, very concise, very informative, even the ones where you know how to get the sound on another synth are useful as the show you some aspect of zebra in better detail. I really like the one using the env loop decay.... I had no idea zebra could do that... very useful

edit Oh and thx Howard too...

Thanks again Howard!

Regarding your question to #36, wave tools, only others I know of are the following:

billstei's Zebra Octave fun pack: http://www.kvraudio.com/forum/viewtopic ... 11#3617811
(requires the open source Octave language)

Wave2Zebra2 - both the JUCE and java versions:
https://sites.google.com/site/wav2zebra2/

I've been toying with making that into an interactive webpage with html5. Still have a lot of work to go before it's remotely usable.

You also probably want to change the link to blueberry thing to the following:
http://sourceforge.net/projects/blueber ... g-0.0.8.0/

This will allow both windows and mac and linux users choose the package that's right for them.

Changed both links - thanks Brian!

Would some kind soul please post the Act II "Straight Delay" patch for Mini-Tutorial #29 - Everything Swings?

The sound I'm interested in begins at around 1:10. I tried recreating the sound but I'm not very good at starting from scratch. I tend to do better from opening an existing patch and trying different options.

Many thanks to the u-he team for these tutorials.

Here's my try at the sound. I created it when working through the tutorials. There's a lot of guesswork here: I can't see the arp settings, the osc wave, most knobs are eyeballed to their approximate values and I have no idea about matrix modulation settings if any. It might be close enough to get what you're after though.

(Howard, if you don't want this shared please let me know and I'll pull it -- I did use the visible settings in the video to set some of the modules).

I'm pretty sure that "Delay Slow Arp" patch was just done on the fly - and deleted afterward. Do it yourself...

OSC1 is most likely to be the standard waveset back slap in the middle of the pulse waves (modulated to the extremes by LFO2). There won't be anything in the matrix, but getting the envelope and compressor settings "right" might be tricky.

You really want more homework?

Believe it or not I enjoy your lessons, even the homework. I've learned a bunch from it.
