U-he Zebra 3 gets free update 3.0.1 with MSEG trigger and macro controls
U-he has released Zebra 3 update 3.0.1, a free maintenance update for the modular wavetable synth. The new version introduces a global trigger option for multi-segment envelope generators (MSEGs), allowing users to trigger multiple envelopes centrally and synchronously. Macro controls have been upgraded in the ABCD section, now saving directly in presets with MIDI CC offsets supported.
