So, hehe, I can't hold back anymore, and it has been guessed rightly a few times - all Zebra patches by HZ/HS designed for Batman Begins, The Dark Knight and The Dark Knight Rises, accompanied by ZebraHZ. Sells for 99$, requires an existing Zebra license.

This I think is the best way to celebrate 11 (i.e. one more!) years of u-he, and a great way to bridge the gap until we release Zebra3. I'm also very happy that we can finally and officially make these sounds heard

Wow..ok if i won i'll buy batman suit and i'll pimp it with zebra stripes..

as an aside,
if i open several instances of zebra, the collective noun for zebra is dazzle.

This one is a side effect.

So, I kinda win, since I wrote Zebra will become a buindle, with special versions. Tjis is basically the same thing. Do I win? Do I?

)

Zebra 3 ...

(maybe at that time I can buy Z2

)

We'll try to do some audio demos (apart from the movie scores), but we're extremely busy with all sorts of things.

There won't be any fully compatibility between Z2 and Z3. Mostly because we're dropping some stuff that hasn't panned out too well or was too complicated. The other thing is that we're raising some bars a bit, e.g. using adaptive oversampling of individual modules.

Also, the EQ known from Z2 will be merged with the Resonator from ZebraHZ and another thing. Stuff like that.

I'm sure that we can keep most things relatively compatible, but it won't be fully the same.

That's why Z3 will be a separate plugin again, just like Z2 was to Z1

Cheers,

Urs

and/hi Urs, I assume you are responding to me? I meant more this HZ version and/or the presets in this special versions more than Z2.5 in general.
thanks
