I was about to throw Zoia in the bin but then I found this video. Thank you, mysterious KZbinr.

Just getting going on this pedal. So good. I have two pedal boards, but I could see building five new patches each week for the songs we are doing at church and just using this. The board this is on also has the midnight Strymon Compadre, Deco and el Cap, along with a standard Flint. Needless to say, this board covers everything. And that’s to the patch Tuner 2 on patch share, I just use Zoia for tuning duties!

@@aBunchOfPedals I thought it was great, but I'm familiar with modular synthesis and programming! Maybe an overlay showing the connections as you make them? I guess when you're using it it's all in your head, but when watching a quick video you don't have that kind of mental model of what you're doing. The basic idea that you're building modules then connecting them, and that that's a bit like having physical pedals or control boxes and wiring them together, once you have that it's all easy but that's a bit of a leap in itself.

Well, I'm not that familiar with programming, even though I have Korg Minilogue and I've learned quite a bit with it, but I feel that is just small scratch of the topic's surface. And modular synth business is something I don't understand at all at the moment... Any way, I think your video was great but maybe the hardware we are speaking of is too high tech for me so to speak. Or I'm just stupid.

@@TheTrueMantis I'm in the same boat :) I totally hear where you're coming from. Just having this thing around has been a learning experience.... that sent me down several KZbin rabbit holes. I also have a Minilogue (my only synth) and I really don't know what I'm doing.

Tom Oinn This is just some simple effects. There’s way more in here. MUCH better preset effects and you can do synths. It’s kinda crazy and I’m sure I’ll never figure out 100% of it.

So I have my eye on this but I haven't been able to figure out if I can add my own sounds to this and use it as a stand alone type of instrument? Is that correct...it has it's own internal computer or sdi card....and I can add my own sound packs?
@hakonsoreide
@hakonsoreide 5 жыл бұрын
It's not a sample player, so you cannot add sounds to it in that sense. It can generate sounds from its patchable synthesizer, it can create effects, the synth modules can control external synths, external audio can control internal signals, and it can loop, but recorded loops are not stored after power-off. But, if by "own sounds" you mean "own patches", then, yes, you can make them all your own, and you can play it standalone.

@@aBunchOfPedals Thanks for the reply. I really appreciate it. I found the module index pdf from Empress and found out that the delay line can be set from 1ms all the way to 16s (!) plus bpm - so...my Zoia arrives on Friday. lol Now, hopefully my reservations about the cpu resource usage turn out to be overblown and they continue to be able to optimize the code and bring us regular updates. Anyways, thanks again, man - love the channel - especially as someone whos just getting into the whole guitar pedal thing as a non-guitarist. You really provide some great information.
