Zebra 2: reverb tail sounds out of tune because of the mod controller

[Sunrise]

Hallo,

sorry about my english, it took me much work to translate my text from german to english. But unfortunately I couldn't find a german u-he forum....

I have Zebra 2 since some weeks, and actually I'm very happy with this noble brilliant sounding peace of software, ingenious to operate, extremly versatile.
But that's exactly why I was surprised about a problem with the reverb. And the reverb is one plugin which is used very often.

At every preset which uses reverb (and there are many of them) the voices in the reverb tail are drifting, it sounds detuned.
That bothered me a lot. Therefore I searched for the reason for that discord. And I found it.
It's the mod controller of the reverb plugin. If I set this controller to 0, the sound is good, no detune anymore.
But If you use reverb first time this controller ist set to middle position. And thereby you have this detune problem at every preset which uses reverb and have to set the mod controller to 0.
I can't imagine that I'm the only one who has this problem - or can hear these detuned voices.
In the Zebra manual there's only one sentence to the mod controller: "Mod, D-Mod: The levels of the LFOs modulating Range and Feedback / D-Range and D-Feedb.".
Too little, right?

Is there someone who had made same experiences as me? Does someone have any idea to my problem?
Thank you!

Greats

Try turning down "Mod" and "D-Mod" to acceptable levels, then resave.

BTW: While programming factory presets 10 years ago (or whenever it was) I didn't pay enough attention to that wavering effect. At the time it didn't bother me much, but it certainly does now.

All the constant u-he staff can speak German, as do some of our regular forum participants. So if you post here in German, even though it's generally an English/international forum, you would still get answers to your questions.

Alternatively, if you don't want to start German threads in this English/international forum, you can also send any questions directly to support at u-he dot com via email, in German, and receive replies directly from our team, in German.

@Howard: Thank you very much for your very quick answer.
So I did not just imagine that.

Ok. It seems to be the only workaround for this problem.
Thanks !

@#rob: Thank you, but I wanted to take the other english-speaking user into account

It is not a workaround. If you use a modulator to modulate that reverb tail, the pitch will get changed. That's just how reverbs with adjustable modulation works. If you don't want that pitch to be changed, just dial down the depth (mod and dmod).
