Hello everyone, it's news time!

ZebraHZ, part of The Dark Zebra soundset, has now been updated to version 2.8.

What's new?
Many features from the original Zebra2 2.8 are now available, including the updated interface.

Here's a screenshot:

List of new features and improvements:
  • new preset browser with powerful text search and smart folders (screenshot)
  • wave folder modules adopted from Repro-1.
  • two new oscillator spectral effects ("DX" and "Smear").
  • expandable oscillator and MSEG editors.
  • added a second reverb unit, "NuRev" (plate with pre-delay).
  • much sleeker GUI.
  • double the number of modulation matrix slots – now 24.
  • double the number of multisegment envelopes – now 8 MSEGs.
  • X/Y pad controls are also direct modulation source.

For more info, you can visit the product page.

Important: The Dark Zebra requires a Zebra2 license. Since ZebraHZ comes with it, this is also valid for the plug-in: It will not work without a Zebra2 license!
If you already own The Dark Zebra, you can request a download link for the updated 2.8 installer by submitting your registered email address to the form on our Account page.

Howard's back at it with a new soundset!

Funkstation is a collection of old school Funk sounds inspired by the many artists who embraced synthesizers in the Funk music scene of the '70s and '80s.

Funkstation includes juicy leads, meaty basses, filtery polyphonic stabs and analogue pads... everything you need to create some SERIOUS synth-funk.

Hotfix!

As Urs mentioned in this thread, we have released a hotfix for ACE, Bazille, Filterscape, MFM2, and Uhbik. This is going to fix the presets sorting for High Sierra and Mojave users.

You can download each hotfix through this article or on each product page.

-------------------------------------------------------

One last thing

Our Bazille and Repro product pages got some new makeup. More content, more info.
With time, other products will go through the same treatment.

That's it! :ud:

Cheers,
Dario

Hi, I haven't posted on this forum since around 2015 I think, but just thought I'd pop on over to say thank you very much! Been waiting for this one for a while :)

Hello,

Is the Zebra HZ update available for Linux ? Why do I ask here instead of Reddit ? Because of this second, more important question:

Do we know that a Linux version is considered stable enough when it is made available on the u-he website ?

Why do I ask ? Because I'm not interested in the interim versions that are put out as testing versions. Some have problems, etc.. What I want are stable enough versions to make it to the u-he web site, like all current Linux products available on the website are, which I'm using now for more than 2.5 years.

Cheers.

Thank you for the update Urs, HZ, and team U-he.


New skin visual look is clean and easy to work with. Better on older eyes @ 120%. Do not be afraid to update. (yes, old skin is gone per Urs)

Per U-he instructions be sure to also update your Zebra2 to most current version. No crashes since I did this.

ZHZ Instances Load much faster (Mac/Logic/Sierra)

Thought there might of been slight sonic improvements (smoother sound) but Urs confirms there should not be any changes.

How do you select the new reverb type btw I did not see it

Will we get some new patches from Howie, HZ, TUC using the new features ?


Logic 10.4.2/Sierra

Some notes from Urs in another thread about Han's input/needs in this new version...

He needed the additional ModMatrix slots and MSEGs for Dunkirk. When he said that they had recreated the ticking of Mr. Nolan's pocket watch in a synthesizer, that's why. A lot of the rhythms and ratcheting in Dunkirk seems to happen by crossfading modulations between two or more MSEGs.

The new reverb came in about the same time, or maybe for Blade Runner.

Having the XYs as direct modulation sources was requested so he could use additonal MIDI Controllers for automation.

I don't get it;
I want to download ZebraHZ 2.8 (i own Zebra 2).
So I click on my Account.
Then i fill in my registered email.
I then receive a mail from u-he with only my registered serial for Colour copy ( :( ).
No downloadlink for Zebra HZ 2.8.

If you click "Account" you would assume it would bring you to a page with an oversight of all your bought U-he plugins, serials and downloads.
Utterly confusing ..

Contact u-he support then.

It was done that way (delivery of licenses via e-mail) because of GDPR.

I was a bit confused as well. Look carefully in the mail:

There's a link to the ZebraHZ sound set.

Looks like this:
