How to upload patches to Empress Effects Zoia

[@JohnBomboy]

That awkward moment you have to watch your own demo because you haven't messed with a pedal in some time.

I watch this every-time i want to load in new patches. :) Thanks!

Kevin Rowland No prob! Also, thank you and likewise! 🤗

Hey! Thanks for the video. I'm having a problem though. My SD card was empty. So I created a folder "to_zoia" and another "from_zoia". When I put the SD in the Zoia and try to copy Patches to SD it says "No folders found". If I try to copy Patches from SD it says "(null)". Any ideas on how to solve this? Thank you!

[@howardanderson3061]

OK, I'm commenting again and I'm thanking you once again. I finally really figured this out. I'm a bit slow to new concepts in pedals/gear that is new to me....anyway I finally got it. It would not have been possible (or would have taken me forever) to get the file management for Zoia...

Just what I needed thank you

Have you ever had yellow buttons underneath the knob when loading patches? When hitting the bypass button to activate/ deactivate, they just stay yellow.

[@JohnBomboy]

I have. I think that means the patch loaded is taking up too much ram for Zoia to handle. Several times I've made a patch, and it works generally fine. But when I re-load it, suddenly Zoia can't handle it. I'm not entirely sure why. I'd suggest deleting a few extra modules, save, shut it down, re-load, then see what happens.

Thanks!

Howard Anderson no prob!

Interesting my card has nothing on it. So do I have to format the card on Zoia? Using a Mac. There are the factory patches on the Zoia.

[@JohnBomboy]

a v hey man! Are you on IG?

[@JohnBomboy]

a v i ask because it’s quicker to talk to me there. I can just do a FaceTime talk and walk you through it.

[@TheFuzzay1]

@@JohnBomboy brooo same thing happened to me. Help!!

[@JohnBomboy]

TheFuzzay1 hey man! Are you on IG? Would you be cool doing a video chat tomorrow and we can try to walk through it?

[@JohnBomboy]

@a v and @TheFuzzay1 Here's what I think is going on. The factory patches on your Zoia are saved directly on your Zoia, not the SD card. When you first start Zoia up go open the menu and save patches from Zoia to the "From_Zoia" folder. Pop the SD card into your computer and you should see them. Let me know if that doesn't work for you.

Thanks! You sound a lot like Michael C. Hall, or maybe it's just your dialect. You from the same place by any chance? Haha. Anyways, nice demo, thanks a lot!
