Zebra: fixed pitch oscillator

[jipumarino]

Hi, I think I've tried everything and searched everywhere, but I can't seem to acomplish this. How can I have an oscillator in Zebra that outputs the same note regardless of the keyboard input?

Thanks!

Click on the osc tab in question (ya'know, where the waveform is visible)
..to the right there's this "key scale" parameter that needs to be set to 0.

Thanks! Silly me…
Do you know how to do the same in Diva and ACE?

Not so familiar with ACE but there is a way in DIVA.
No dedicated parameter for that afaik, but you can try to trick it with kb mod.

Select Dual VCO for example, set the mod to Both for starters,
1st mod slot, select KeyFol and set to -24
2nd mod slot, select ADD and set to -20.00

now go to the modifications tab and select KeyFol under both ADD spaces there...

Cannot do it in Diva...

ACE set osc to Hertz and fine tuning from cents to multiply then you can set the frequency without keyscaling

does that work? Can Howie do a tut about this?

Sure!

added: apparently, it works for all osc types except the triple VCO...

Nice find!!

Well.. I did spend some time with Diva... found the kb track thing when I was trying some percussion sounds.

Can't wait for Z3! :dreaming: ..as it will have a mod matrix before Diva I suppose

I didn't think this trick was useful enough to include in a tutorial.

I hear ya' .. the obvious part being that it uses many modulation slots to make it work.. most of the times, not a fair trade-off.
