The "very attractive price" is for the people who do not yet own a license to Zebra Legacy. So if someone has their existing Z2 license automatically crossgraded to Zebra Legacy, they don't need to buy it again. I hope that's obvious

So the question is why do I want Zebra Legacy? Wouldn't it be better if those who want Zebra Legacy can also upgrade to Zebra 3 for 30 euros.
Well, imagine Zebra Legacy will cost a lot less than Zebra3, more like half of it. Then people would never buy Zebra3 if they could just upgrade for 30€.

The only way all of this makes sense is if Z3 + ZL costs more than Z2 + TDZ. There won't be any headroom for discounts...

(I might have misread your question though... as owner of a Zebra2 license you get Zebra Legacy anyway *and* you'll get the upgrade path)

Yes, I have Zebra 2.

Sorry it wasn't perfectly obvious when I read:

Perhaps "for a very attractive price to those who do not yet own a license" would have helped clarify things for me.

But I get it now......

Not sure I get.... if I own Z2, I automatically get DZ and soundsets for free? (And that becomes Z legacy)

And upgrade to Z3 is €30?

You've got like a year or two to sort it out

Congratulations u-he!! I still remember when Dark Zebra recently came out and the hype or Z3 just began. Zebra2 was one of the first synths I ever used in my music making journey. Congratulations on never giving up! looking forward to more!

Does this mean ALL soundsets?

Presumably all u-he soundsets for Zebra, not literally all u-he sound sets

Then, yes.

This post is starting to remind me of comedian Stephen Wright's line- "I went to the store to buy batteries, but they weren't included, so I had to buy them again!"

Excellent news Urs! Looking forward to it.

Owners of Z2 get ZLegacy and can upgrade to Z3 for 30 bucks.

Owners of Z2 + HZ get Zlegacy and Z3.

Owners of Zlegacy that bought the product brand new get no upgrade path to Z3.

When is Z3 dropping, fallish?

Yep. Heck, I've owned both for years and I still haven't explored them as fully as I should have. Well, ok. Now I'm retired. Things should get better ...

So, after Z3 release, Zebra Legacy will receive at least the minimal upgrades that will keep it working in future OS versions, right?
