|
New in V2.5:
- new contrast rich user interface (and up to date Unempty Dark Horse skin)
- comes with a new effect plugin, Zebrify, which puts all the goodness of Zebra on any audio track
- massively improved preset management (Favourites, Junk, drag'n'drop organisation, collapsible folders)
- MIDI Bank Select messages (CC#0) now iterate through directories within MIDI Programs
- new installer on Windows with freely movable resource path
- unlimited undo/redo for parameter changes (gets flushed though when a new patch is loaded)
- optionally works in 2.3 mode to ensure preset compatibility with previous versions of Zebra 2.x (existing presets automatically open in 2.3 mode)
- ModMatrix souped up to 12 slots
- new Duophonic mode as seen in some vintage gear
- vastly improved XMF Filter module with 15 filter types and more - YouTube (click)
- new "SR Decimate" filter mode
- improved filter algorithms
- more coherent volume among signal flow
- new delay mode and non-syncing delay times
- improved ModMapper with variable step size and zoomable editor
- new pre-delay for reverb
- new Glide2 parameter which offsets Glide for modules with an even number (Osc2, Osc4, FMO2 etc.)
- Right-Click on any Tab and make it default - whenever you open a Zebra again, it'll open at that tab
- bonus bank "Two Point Five" with 100+ amazing new presets by Howard Scarr
- and more...
New in V2.3:
- switchable gui themes
- resizable editor window
- support for RTAS on MacOS X
- MIDI program changes
- new Sideband modules
- new ModMapper modules
- 4 new oscillator effects
- "Eleven" oscillator mode
- 2 new compressor modes
- new comb filter model
- LFOs can now be tuned independent from host tempo
- quick XY-assign added to knobs
- Voice Drift button to allow for strict tuning
- FX Bypass button - switch off all effects at once
- numerous little bugs fixed, niggles removed
- and more...
New in V2.2:
- factory presets were replaced with all new bank by Howard Scarr
- it's now compatible to MacOS X 10.5 Leopard
- presets load way faster
- user interface opens almost instantly
- a "compact install" for Muse Receptor compatibility was added to Windows installer
- a factory bank of oscillator module presets was added (also by Howard Scarr)
- gui consistency was improved (i.e. renamed some parameters, too long texts get shortened to fit)
- that infamous MSEG bug is fixed (single trigger MSEG may have caused deadlock)
- the Preset Manager remembers name & location of loaded patch, saved with song
- the editor window opens in the state where you last closed it (doesn't/can't save with song though)
- global parameters such as FX Returns are available in modulation matrix
- smoother ModWheel, Breath Controller, Expression and PitchBend
- speaking of PitchBend, ranges can be set to 0 now to free the Wheel for other tasks
- MidiLearn now requires a conscious decision for a menu entry - preventing users from accidentally Teaching a parameter
- Preset scripting was improved so that 3rd party waveform converters are fully supported (still no decent documentation for scripting though)
- a bug in the reverb diffusion on SSE2 machines got wiped out - if that changes your sound, set "D-Feedb" to 0.00
- the Preset Manager can now be used to create new folders and refresh the directory listing (right/ctrl-click)
- .h2p is now default patch format - set to native to save patches for use within host applications (usually not necessary)
- text rendering quality on Windows was improved
- there's no more need for Microsoft Runtime Libraries on Windows (finally!)
- one can now import patches made with the Computer Music edition of Zebra aka ZebraCM
- number of voices can be set to 0 in an Arpeggiator step, making this step a "skip"
- and more...
