And that Urs Heckman guy isn't too shabby either of course!

Sounds like a great talent pool you're assembling, Urs! Looking forward to what they bring to the table.

You aren't lying I looked in LinkedIn and you have poached Vadim Zavalishin (Reaktor creator/main dev) from NI. If you can work all together without friction it's certainly going to be interesting...

U-heraktor confirmed

So u-he:Raktor development must begin after the next Diva update. Like the Berlin Modular we never had. I'll rename and reset my Z3 countdown.

EDIT: Maybe we call it "reakted"

I think we've talked enough about U-He's employees lol. It's a bit awkward.

It is genuinely crazy that Zebra3 really could be released this year. I remember it like it was yesterday: the Dark Knight Trilogy, Diva, and the release of ZebraHZ and how you could play the same presets Hans used in the movies and that Zebra3 was just around the corner. This was around 2012 or so. Its been well over the decade, but now it's actually happening.

I could visit Superbooth today and had the chance to try out Zebra3 myself. I'm really impressed with it, the current state is already quite awesome!

The filters (incl. Comb), FMO, Mallet & Modal combination sound really nice. It's real Zebra3 for sure! Having seen that this is all in good shape already, I'm positive that something gets released this year.

Same lead developer, different concept.

Does it or Presswerk have some similarity with Hive's compressor? (I love Hive's one, so I'm looking for a similar compressor plugin now

)

What's even crazier is that they still feel as solid as they did when they were released.

Yeah! Hans is still using ZebraHZ to this day!

No exact date, but we hope to release by the end of this year. If we can't make it, we should at least have a public beta version by then.

I’m a little annoyed that nobody has made a video about Zebra 3 at superbooth yet and it’s seemingly taking a back seat.

After waiting a decade we finally have a chance to see Zebra 3 almost feature complete and *nothing*.

Synthanatomy was here today and I tried my best to explain the main aspects and concepts.

It’s not taking a back seat at all. Our tent is packed nonstop.

My bad, I thought Zebra was taking a back seat because of this comment on the first page of the thread.
