u-he have updated Zebra 3, available for €249.00. The update is FREE to existing users.
What’s new in version 3.0.1:
- New Global trigger option for the MSEGs
- Control A/B/C/D now also work as macros stored within presets, with offsets via MIDI CC
- MPE: New preference for per-voice pitch bend, Timbre now listens to the MIDI smoothing preference
- FMO and envelope parameters can now be modulated beyond their natural limits
- Module groups in the grid can now be deleted using keyboard shortcuts
- Added a hidden parameter ‘Hypercalibrate Time’, reachable through the mod matrix
- Added a ‘Stop All Notes’ option, available by right-clicking the on-screen keyboard
- Linux: experimental drag & drop support added
- Many bug fixes and tweaks!
Zebra 3 carries the unmistakable Zebra concept forward, rebuilt from scratch with state-of-the-art technologies spanning analogue modelling, physical modelling and purely digital synthesis. A bold mix of popular and novel sound design possibilities meets a fresh user experience. Ready for workhorse tasks as well as remarkably deep and complex exploration.
Features include:
- Adaptive interface: Modules only appear when added to the patch, organised via drag and drop
- Over 1,200 factory presets
- Unified spline editor for oscillator waveforms and MSEG curves with geometric morphing
- Two oscillator engines: Wavetable (up to 16× unison) or additive (up to 1024 partials, can be inharmonic)
- 20 oscillator effects including spectral decay, sync, phase remapping and more
- Filters with 13 models, both classic and original (Ladder, Cascade, SVF etc) each offering up to 12 responses (e.g. LP, HP, BP with 6/12/18/24 dB/Oct)
- FM oscillators with 2 operators plus an audio input as a third operator
- Modal resonators and comb filters with detailed control over feedback and damping for physical modelling synthesis
- Noise and Exciter modules for realistic transient and physical modelling sources
- Vector & Scan mixers: Blend 4 sources with XY pad (loopable) or scan through them sequentially
- Pitch, gate and trigger signals as first-class modulation — modular-style routing freedom
- Mod Math modules for combining and transforming modulation signals
- Mappers that act as step sequencers or as freely drawable transfer curves for other modulators
- Ring modulators, distortions, wavefolders, equalizers (as global effects and per voice)
- Delays, multitap delay, reverbs, compressors etc. in global FX grid with per voice send amounts
- Support for MPE, microtuning, MTS-ESP (realtime tuning)
Zebra 3 is available to PC, Mac and Linux users (VST3, AU, AAX and CLAP).
