u-he has announced a free maintenance update for its flagship modular synthesizer instrument Zebra 3.

Version 3.0.1 adds several workflow and performance improvements, including a new global trigger option for the MSEGs, integrated macro behaviour for Control A/B/C/D, and refinements for MPE handling.

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.

Changes in Zebra 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.
