u-he Zebralette 3: Free Synth Plugin at NAMM 2024!

At NAMM 2024, get a sneak peek of U-He’s Zebralette 3, offering a glimpse into the future of Zebra 3. U-he will showcase its capabilities, with a focus on the remarkable wavetable and MSEG editing tools. Over six months have elapsed, and the progress in development persists.

Zebralette 3 will retain its status as a free Synthesizer plugin, featuring a single Zebra oscillator, one Zebra multi-segment envelope generator, LFO, ADSR envelope, and VCA, consistent with the familiar elements of Zebralette 2. The core of Zebralette 3 is powered by the new Zebra 3 engine. A key component of this engine is a groundbreaking oscillator with diverse synthesis options such as wavetable, spline wave, morphing, VA, and additive. Notably, it features a robust built-in editor, reminiscent of a highly potent mathematical program. Once you launch Zebralette 3, you can either draw waveforms or engage in additive synthesis.

Urs Heckmann additionally mentions on the KVR forum:

‘While “beta” means “feature complete but still a bit buggy”, we hope to go public soon after NAMM. We’ll then spend the coming weeks and months fine tuning the user experience and its sonic powers with the help of your feedback.
We’re confident that Zebralette 3 will become one of the most comprehensive wavetable generation tools available, and like its predecessor, it’ll be free.‘

After NAMM 2024, an open beta version of U-he Zebralette 3 will be accessible. The plugin will be offered as a free download, with the official release date to be announced.
