Less technobabble, more audio!
I do wish they had made a musical demo instead of a lecture.
They have a whole series of videos planned. They’ve already done one specific to the mixer mode. And there are videos of it being used in performances (…which don’t really give you much of a sense of what it’s like to use, unlike this one).
And other people are no doubt going to do some videos as well.
I’ve heard from a couple of beta testers that it’s really easy to work with despite a ton of different functions crammed into it, which is all I was waiting to hear.
Also you can preorder them from Schneidersladen, there’s going to be a limited first run there to gauge demand and then they’ll decide about other distributors or direct sales.
its an utility module that doesn’t make any sound. 😉
I worry about anything that is firmware heavy to be honest. Hope it is 99% there vs 75%.
Our priority right now is to make sure people can use the module, hence we’re producing explanatory videos first. We’ll do videos with examples (aka “selling points”) later.

There is soooo much effort to avoid using a screen, it’s staggering. All this pushing buttons to navigate and the light show is just counterproductive imo. Definetely not my cup of tee and the fact that it is digital for a 4×4 matrix is not helping for those who want to play with feedback…
looks easy enough to use and simple to learn
the visual feedback is really interesting
I remember seeing a prototype of this as Superbooth18, so they have been working on this a long time. I expect it’s well implemented.
The videos and early reviews with show that.
Any updates on the Zebra 3 module release?
Awesome price point and low-ho for a matrix mixer, so all the other functionality seems like a killer bonus.
