Z3TA+ 2 bugs and other problems

A few niggles so far:

Waveshaper XY not working - using mouse in the XY doesn't affect sound  - the sliders work fine but are far too small and fiddly to select with mouse (compared to old version despite the fact that the new version uses twice as much screen estate) - not designed for performers

Ribbon bar doesn't stay closed - even if I just close and reopen the gui it comes back (or sometimes just part of it - graphics glitch)

    I noticed that 32-bit user waveforms are still not supported. I have the Galbanum Architecture Waveforms 2010 collection and they have to be converted to 16-bit before z3ta 2 will recognize them.

    Thanks Muse, - Sorry, the XY-plot bug was introduced very, very late in the release cycle and slipped through.  We have it nailed down.  In the meantime, I'll try to find a workaround for Z2.0.0 - I'll keep you posted.

    Hmmm --- jma, can you send me a PM with one of your 32-bit files attached?  The wave file loading routines haven't changed from Z+1.  I'll investigate.  Thanks!

    Thanks, Bob. PM sent. Just so there's no confusion, the 32-bit wave files didn't work in z3ta 1.5 either, but converted to 16-bit they work fine.

    Ribbon Bar does not close properly in other Hosts...........nor does it remain hidden after close/reopen as mentioned above.

    Also Z2 uses about 370 megs of RAM when the GUI is open..........seems a bit much. For comparison Z1 uses about 60 megs when open.

    Oh and several people have expressed disappointment (myself included) that there is not a Z2 FX version.......it would make a killer rack for Guitar.........

    Yeah me too - that and the incomprehensible decision to remove hermode tuning (and alternative tuning support generally) - this was a key selling point for the original version

    I'll give Cakewalk the benefit of the doubt since it is the Weekend so let's see how they respond to user feedback in the upcoming week.........

    There seems to be a bug in lfo, when using the option Wave1- Random, knobs become slow, it is almost impossible to make any changes.

    If you could report your bug at this thread:

    It would really help.

    When using Z3ta 2 in Pro Tools, it always switches back to the first Showcase preset when I hit play. It doesn't matter if I save the project with the preset I want and then reload it, when I hit play it goes back to the first Showcase arp. This is extremely frustrating. Same thing used to happen with the original Z3ta when I used that.

    Hi Drakken,
    There's a known issue with imported MIDI arp patterns that contain program changes. Could that be it?
    Thanks,

    I don't think so, as it happens no matter what preset I'm using. Thus, I don't think it has anything to do with arps.

    Hey everyone,

    Thanks for all the reports so far.  We're looking into all this stuff.

    If any of you can give a step-by-step recipe to reproduce any bugs that come up, it'll be a big help for us to find the root of the problems.

    Presets: A number of the factory presets simply don't playback e.g. 

    Arps: about 15 so far including - 

    Space Bell Donk BC
    TB-like FS
    Tribal FM FS

    They all show that some of the voices are being used, but nothing sounds (and their is processor activity, but it's not particularly high. 

    Also, some of the presets present a very high load for only one processor e.g. 
    "Mangling Aftertouch FS" - this maxes out one of the cores on my 3 month old AMD phenom II quad core notebook, producing pops and bubbles.

    Need to go through it a little more, but these are two things that popped up almost immediately

    Something is going wrong between the mod matrix and the waveshaper. Whenever I assign an env or an lfo to it, it works fine until I press play in Renoise then it's like the mod matrix shut down or something, there's no automation anymore.

    It seemed there was nothing but love and beauty everything; fragrant summer air and the laughter of happy birds. Everything

    listened to the singing larks in brooding thoughtlessness. Yea,even the horned snails lay stretched out on grey stones with

    their houses on their backs.
