Generating OSC Files For Zebra 2

This document provides instructions for using Temper software to generate oscillator (OSC) files that can be loaded and used in u-he's Zebra 2 synthesizer. It explains how to set up a Zebra 2 track in your DAW, define a shape using Temper's shape editor, and write that shape out as a .h2p file that Zebra 2 can read as an OSC. Key steps include creating a noisy sine wave shape, leaving the shape editor to save it, and using the OSC button to export the shape file for use in Zebra 2.
