It's a complete ground-up rewrite with new oscillator engines, new filters, new architecture, and a new interface. The modular concept is still there but everything underneath has changed.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFive synthesis engines in one plugin: wavetable, additive, FM, modal physical modelling, and vector. You can layer all of them in a single patch. Over 1,200 factory presets included as a starting point, and a demo is available from u-he before you buy.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cdiv style=\"text-align: center;\"\u003e\u003cimg style=\"margin-bottom: 16px; float: none;\" src=\"https:\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0441\/2286\/5816\/files\/spotlight_1024x1024.webp?v=1782457221\" alt=\"u-he zebra 3 mains gui page\"\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003chr\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eOscillators\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cdiv style=\"text-align: center;\"\u003e\u003cimg style=\"margin-bottom: 16px; float: none;\" src=\"https:\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0441\/2286\/5816\/files\/section_1024x1024.webp?v=1782457302\"\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWavetable Engine\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSpline-based wavetable oscillators with a unified editor. Draw freehand curves, edit harmonic amplitudes, and morph between shapes. Up to 16-voice unison. Each oscillator has two serial FX slots with 20 processes available including spectral decay, sync, and phase remapping.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eAdditive Engine\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSame oscillators, different render mode. Switch to additive and you get up to 1024 sine partials, including inharmonic configurations. The oscillator draws the same spline shape but renders it additively rather than as a wavetable.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eFM Oscillators\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFour FM oscillators arranged as modulator and carrier pairs. Each accepts any rack signal as a third operator, so you can build FM algorithms without a fixed topology. A Vector mixer lets you blend and move between four FM sources on an XY grid.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eModal Resonators and Physical Modelling\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eModal resonators and comb filters with full control over feedback and damping. Combine with Noise and Exciter modules to model the resonance behaviour of physical objects. Drive a marimba profile with a shaped noise burst or a pluck excitation and route the result anywhere in the rack.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eVector and Scan Mixers\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBlend up to four sources with an XY pad that can be looped, or scan through them sequentially. Works as a synthesis engine in its own right or as a mixing layer on top of anything else in the rack.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003chr\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eFilters\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e13 filter models including Ladder, Cascade, SVF, and several original u-he designs. Each model supports up to 12 responses - LP, HP, BP and more at 6, 12, 18, and 24 dB\/Oct. Selected from a 2D palette rather than a dropdown, which makes auditioning combinations much faster. Comb filter in reverb mode is also available. Over 105 filter responses in total.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003chr\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eModulation\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e8-slot modulation matrix, drag-and-drop assignment\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFour MSEGs usable as custom LFOs, with shape morphing between modulation patterns\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMappers that work as step sequencers or freely drawable transfer curves\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMod Math modules for combining and transforming modulation signals\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePitch, gate, and trigger signals available as first-class modulation sources\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eRing modulators, distortions, and wavefolders per voice\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cdiv style=\"text-align: center;\"\u003e\u003cimg style=\"margin-bottom: 16px; float: none;\" src=\"https:\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0441\/2286\/5816\/files\/section-2_1024x1024.webp?v=1782457302\"\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003chr\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eEffects\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eGlobal effects grid: delays, multitap delay, reverbs, compressors, EQ, resonator\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePer-voice send amounts to the global effects grid\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePolyphonic EQ and resonator available per voice\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cdiv style=\"text-align: center;\"\u003e\u003cimg style=\"margin-bottom: 16px; float: none;\" src=\"https:\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0441\/2286\/5816\/files\/section-3_1024x1024.webp?v=1782457252\"\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003chr\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eInterface\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAdaptive layout — modules only appear in the patch when you add them, organised via drag and drop.
