Zebra2-problems when trying to click on buttons

Everytime I hit the buttons in Zebra, one of the 2 context menus pops out. It seems as if my mousebutton has wrong settings or so, cause when I hit harder, I can use the real function of the button. When I hit normal, the program seems to receive it as a soft click and I get either the "size menu" oder the other context menu:-(

It just tried to adjust the mouse settings, but it makes no difference.

I really can't use Zebra that way it should be. It really sucks.

Did anyone notice the same problem and maybe has a solution for it?

I get something similar to this, but only now and then. Not even every day. But sometimes i left-click a dial to see what value it's set at, and it automatically opens the right-click menu. I'm using a modified version of the dark horse skin, so if you're using that skin also, maybe try the default?

I notice with the dark horse theme, he has swapped the modulators for vcf 5 and 6, so mod 2 is on the left and mod 1 is on the right (not noticable until you need to work with x/y assign and the mod matrix, but pretty annoying when you do). So maybe that skin also has some other weirdness going on too.

Hmmm... that's really strange. What host/system are you using?

I know you were asking the OP, but here's mine, in case he doesn't come back.
FL Studio on Vista 32 bit.

Another weird thing... on FL, i've managed to create a Zebra patch that stops LFOG1 working properly. If i set the phase control to 50, it resets itself to zero after 1 bar. But strangely, if the song is at 136 bpm (which is what i'm writing this track at) the phase is ok for 5 bars and resets on bar 6. This even happens when i load that patch into an empty FL project.

oh, that is really strange. But it seems as if the dark horse theme could be responsible for these problems - I'll give it a try:-) Thanks:-)

I use 32 bit windows 7 and my host is Ableton Live 7

Hmmm... honestly, I don't think it's the dark horse.

AL321, can you send me the patch with the LFOG being reset oddly? And maybe also the empty FL project with an instance of Zebra in it?

-> anybody at u-he blip com

Mh....do you also have a suggestion what could cause the problems I have with Zebra? I just figured out, I also have the same problems with the uhbik plugins runnig in demo mode, but not that much as with Zebra.

Sending you an email now.
I simplified the patch to just 2 osc and a filter, to make troubleshooting easier. The flp has a notepad on the master channel with some info.


The filter phase should reset after 1 bar at any tempo (it's set at 120bpm), but if you change the tempo to 136bpm, it resets after 5 bars. Also, if you start playback from bar 2 at 120bpm, it acts like 136bpm, and resets after 5 bars again.
So bars 1 and 5 seem to affect Zebra different to the other bars. Very strange.

I also mentioned a second problem in that notepad. For some reason those two oscillators seem to go out of sync with each other when you hold down b4 or c5 in FL's piano roll, even though retrigger is on. Only seems to happen on those two notes, as far as i can tell. Doesn't happen with notes input into the sequencer though.

Got it, thanks - will look into it asap!

No Ideas anybody?

So I looked into the the tempo issue (it's a bug, indeed), but I havn't got any clue about the mouse issue.

Have you tried a different mouse? - My stuff make a lot of use of contextual menus. They also open when, hmm, maybe the alt-key or the ctrl-key is pressed (it's ctrl on Mac, but I think I mapped it differently on Win). Maybe it's a keyboard issue or something?

Couldn't get the context menu to open with keyboard ALT or keyboard CTRL on Windows in Reaper. I have to right-click to see the menu. I think Reaper is stealing the ALT and CTRL events as I can see their VST menu border highlighting menu options when I press them.

Thanks for taking the time to look. It's appreciated.

Just a thought, but you might want to reinstall your mouse driver to route out any kind of corruption with that, or check for mouse driver updates if any.
Live? You need to check their forum also to see if anyone else has some similar issues there, just in case.
You could also download the demo of Reaper to see if the problem is only with Live. Also could try it in SaviHost.
Here's those products pages. You need to check this with other hosts to rule out an issue with Live.

This happens to me all the time, but it's easily reproducible. Basically Ctrl+click in OSX is right click. I have Ctrl-# bound to switch spaces. If I switch away from a u-he plugin, the u-he plugin never gets sets the Ctrl key to unpressed, so the next mouse clicks are interpreted as right clicks.

To work around this, I just tap Ctrl once whenever I come back, at which point all the u-he plugins reset the state of Ctrl.

Could this be what's causing your problems as well?
