That opening drone is incredible.
13:29 I show exactly how I made it if interested.
I am very impressed with your guitar patches. Might be my favourite ones I have heard on UA-cam so far.
A great demonstration of what must be the most amazing pedal out there at the moment. I completely dismissed it as clunky and not knowing what it wanted to be, partly due to the poor demonstrations from the earliest presentations of it in trade shows, but when it got into the hands of creative synthesists and guitarists earlier this year, the videos really show what it is capable of and how easy it really is to use.
So, thanks for another of those videos that have convinced me that this is the one pedal for me, after weeks of contemplating and wondering how to budget for a reverb pedal, perhaps a reverb and delay pedal separately, as well as a step sequencer. This will be such amazing value for me even just using its basic functionality.
Also, I can't help but notice you only have 484 subscribers, so I'll add my name to the list in the hope that you get to 1,000 and beyond so your channel might get monetized and you get something back from bringing traffic to youTube, all in accordance with the Small Channel Manifesto:
THE SMALL CHANNEL MANIFESTO (copy and paste freely):
UA-cam has changed their algorithms: even new content from small monetized channels (including your channel subscriptions) will be LESS VISIBLE for visitors to the site. What is given top billing are videos from big channels with high click-through rates which will favour CLICKBAIT in both titles and thumbnails.
This is not what UA-cam used to be about. What happened to finding something new and exciting - even from a first time poster - because it just so happened to have been uploaded or viewed by someone just as you opened up the UA-cam website?
What can we, the small channels to do stand up to the change towards the same kind of monoculture on UA-cam as has happened in the pop charts?
I propose we all lift each other up. If you find a video you like from a channel with few subscribers, especially FEWER THAN 1,000, click the LIKE button, SUBSCRIBE, give a positive comment, spend time watching one or more videos from the channel, and feel free to copy and paste this manifesto in your comment, encouraging them to do the same.
Most channels on UA-cam are small. If we all JOIN FORCES in celebration of the variety of expressions we represent, if we let our voices join the unstoppable choir of CULTURAL VARIATION we enjoy, our views will again count and we might again get our small but fair share of the profit UA-cam makes off our PASSION and HARD WORK.
No one is small or invisible if they STAND TOGETHER!
Duuuude, that jam at 12:20 is unreal! Amazing demo as always
Amazing demo! Seems extremely versatile. I’m sold. Keep up the good work, intrigued to see what you make.
Really great demo, dude!
nice clean nails, subscribed
The ZOIA has a manicure module - it does it all.
I wouldn't pass clean nails in some of my vids...working in the garden too often:)
"On The Run" at ~10:50, nice.
Subscribed. Thanks for the zoia's
Thanks for the support - there will be so much more!
@@soundisles Look forward to! =)
So good!! Is that “push me!” patch available somewhere? Sounds amazing!
Awesome !
What an absolutely haunting and gorgeous guitar riff at 2:10
It's my ma by girls ! Great song
The higher pitched sounds at around 0:30 sounds so much alike the synth sound used in Sleep Sound by Jamie xx
* 'a poem part in love, part in jest' *
be this a spring evening, be this fireflies in the long grass, this zoia be something new, this zoia is a must.
young zoia comes to flurrish, young zoia comes to love, kind to zoia we must be, and in turn she'll be kind to us.
some say synth and some say robot, other exclaim in fright,
but we look on with laughter and smiles, as young zoia doesn't bite.
Is the Zoai capable of creating all the same reverb algorithms found in the Empress Reverb Pedal? Or all the same delay flavors found in their Echosystem pedal? In other words, does this pedal replace their other pedals or are you going to find more specific reverb/delay/etc options on their specific pedals?
I think the answer to "does this pedal fully replace their other pedals?" is no it does not. It is its own very powerful thing. Is the ZOIA capable of creating the same reverb algorithms - yes and some are on there already. Are all the same delay flavors from their Echosystem there - technically yes - you can stack dual delays and tweak each one and how they interact and behave with other modules. Due to them all being made from the same Empress ingredients, with the ZOIA you've got to learn how to cook so to speak. Maybe someone could make a ZOIA contain all the sounds / presets of the Echosystem, but why would you? It is way more than a multi-fx pedal.
Depending on what you want to do with their pedals, this might actually replace the others. Empress Reverb has more reverb options, and Echosystem has more delay options, but Zoia has some of each and a multitude of other things besides. I was thinking of getting an Empress Reverb - but just for the basic algorithms that sound amazing, not for the fancier stuff, but I also needed a sequencer, so for me it's a no-brainer as I get the reverb I need with all the other things thrown in. Knowing a little bit about patchable synthesis and just th basic logic of computer programming makes Zoia incredibly intuitive to use.
Lovely video. Subscribed!
Dude, your vids are sick.
Thanks man! 😎
Very cool intro
This is a fantastic demo! It looks like the ZOIA is a great little synth on its own, like in the section where you use a MIDI keyboard to trigger ZOIA. Wondering if it works well as a "synth pedal" for guitar too?
It does, as long as you play single notes, as it has a module to find the pitch of the input and ouput the corresponding midi note.
are you able to create longer sequences on this thing, or are you limited to 8? i havent been able to figure that out
Awesome video!!! Subbed and liked...where can you share patches?
Hey! Is there a chance you show the pitch detector? Thanks!
Love love your music and demos. Could you do a demo of the CB audio mood?
Yes - I believe so! And when I do, I plan to demonstrate it in completely new and different ways than what anyone has done before.
Is it even possible to create midi files with guitar, save it on disc and use it somewhere else?
The GAS is real... and painful.
Infinite menu diving on a tiny screen? Scary. I would prefer to have a bunch of pedals and see what they do and have knobs to tweak.
Ooo are any of these patches shared anywhere?
are any of your patches available on patchstorage?
Hey yes! I plan to add a lot more on there too. The patch Space Fuzz for example is a factory preset I made.
@@soundisles Dope! What's your handle on patchstorage? I've just gotten a ZOIA, and it's in the shop right now being added to a new rig I'm building. Can't wait to start exploring!
Were you playing Slothrust around the 2:15 mark?
My Ma - Girls.
....So is this an effects processor combined with a sequencer? Is that what is happening here?
Even more than that - but yes!
.:Wo______oW:.
I was avoiding unboxing videos, thx for ruining it 😭
Its sounds very flat to me in this demo, if feels like everything is coming up the center. I dont get any sense of depth in the stereo field, dont get me wrong, its a excellent technical demo, it just feels like the upper mids to high frequency's are taking a cut and there's no bouncing | movement of the stereo image. I may have missed it but wet dry helps. It this or the H9 Max, I need to hear it without being processed, if that's the case.
this isnt in stereo, so there's your problem right there...
Guitarpedal ... ???
Luxsound67 Not primarily. It’s a synth/processor that you can run a guitar through.
I still don't get it.
My Zoia failed in less than six months. Poor quality
Three years and counting fantastic quality. You just got a bad one, hope you contacted support.
Turn up your shutter speed a little bit. It'll look less like you filmed this with a potato.
Rajoutez un zéro et vous serez proche du néant ! 😂
