I am looking for a tutorial, or something that goes into more detail than the couple of pages in the Users Guide. Any recommendations for learning the Zebra arp? I am a synth programming noob .. so, it's not intuitive. Appreciate any pointers, or recommendations. I've been experimenting with it, and trying different things - but suspect that there is a lot, that I am missing...
Thanks

120+ views and no responses. Either
I should have titled this more appropriately (maybe added a question mark? - Maybe folks are coming to the thread thinking there is a new tutorial? If so -- there are others interested in more explanation of the arp settings.
There are no additional write-ups outside the user guide? (I found a couple.. but they are less how-to, and more "art of the possible"
I asked a dumb question, and folks are being polite
Am continuing to go through experimentation with the arp settings, and having some luck -- but still suspect, there is stuff I am missing...
Am still quite open to suggestions on learning the settings.
Cheers

Thanks for the input. I guess, I just don't know what I don't know - and suspect there is a lot more to the controls than meet the eye. Wonder if I am missing capabilities like modulating with the ArpMod settings and getting some magic that more advanced sound designers understand, etc. Like I said originally - I am a nOOb with this stuff, and while I think there is a lot that can be gained by fiddling with settings, I would benefit from more tutorials and explanation of setting things up. Understanding the nuances of applying swing to the arp, and/or the LFOs, at the same time ,etc. Probably basic stuff for most others - but I am trying to grasp what I can, and cannot accomplish with the arp.pdxindy wrote:Don't know of any...
What do you want to know? I think the manual describes the different functions.

There are no shortcuts IMHO - you need to spend the time experimenting! I can't think how a tutorial (or two) about the arp/seq would be helpful, because in this case it's much more about making music than making sounds.

OK, thx Howard. I'll keep plugging away then. My post wasn't necessarily a knock on your help file, but looking for more examples, etc. In any case, I understand what you're saying about digging in, and working through the settings.

BTW the arp/seq often surprises me - the analytical part of my brain says "how the hell is it doing THAT?" but (fortunately) the non-analytical part soon responds with "whatever... as long as it sounds good!"
