The latest U-he Diva and Zebra updates not only improve the workflow but also the interface.
Back on Superbooth 2017, Urs Heckmann announced a major update for the software modular Synthesizer Zebra 2. Today, the developers released the final version of it. Beside a new reverb and distortion effect processor, the developers also re-designed the complete interface. It’s now with a new DotEight and DarkEight skin as well as a new preset browser. Zebra 2 is now much easier to use and looks like a new plugin.
Also the great sounding Diva Synthesizer received an update. It comes now also with a new designed preset browser, a new pitch bend with +/-48 and other improvements.
