There were a few concerns about this on the ZOIA Discord last night: firmware 5.0 operates on all ZOIAs (and Zebus), not just the special colorway. It's only a paintjob! (A nice one, but still, avoid the freakout, please.)
Empress classy for recognizing your hard work, you've been fundamental in helping so many people learn and enjoy this wonderful pedal! Thanks Christopher!
Hi Christopher from Australia it's great to see you again. The new Zoia is beautiful and another firmware is amazing. thank you for all your work on these great patches and lessons for all zoia owners around the world. I have learnt so much from your knowledge on the Zoia.
Thanks Christopher. Good vibes on the 5, Thank you & the pick up at the end = Probably great SFX to add to all those drones in NY we are seeing in the vast of night :)
Thanks for the video. Good stuff as always. I think the sand-coloured one looks really good, and I quite like how it's easier to see the letters next to the pads with this colour scheme. With my regular dark Zoia I have to increase the light or find my reading glasses every time I want to type something, though I also like how the colours on the pads will look brighter and more saturated against the dark background. If I hadn't already bought my second Zoia recently, I'd probably have ordered this one, which would make a nice look together with the regular one. 5.0 firmware is more exciting to me.
In early 2018, after the Zoia had been premiered at winter NAMM, Steve came over to my place (we live about 10min apart) to give me a personal demo of the unit. He brought along his little Arturia controller and button-pressed the Zoia into being a mono synth and a poly synth (don't know how many voices, but he could play chords). I asked if he was familiar with what I like to call "reprocessing" in stereo pedals. He wasn't, so I pulled out the TC Alter Ego I had borrowed from a buddy, plugged in my guitar, and set it up to demo. The principle is pretty simple. If a pedal has dual ins and outs, one can take the output of one channel, and plug it into the input of the other channel. Depending on whether there is any boost, some sort of attenuation between channels may be required, but it wasn't in this case. Since many such pedals and their developers expect that users will plug in a mono source, but still want to use both outputs, they will often provide different "versions" of the effect at both A and B outputs. One of the implications is that, if one is reprocessing but only hearing the B output, it will include what the A channel did, plus what the B channel did. I know my Line 6 Echo Park operates in this way as well. Long story short. Using a reverse delay patch in this manner will result in the final B output consisting of reversed repeats, PLUS "re-reversed" (i.e., forward) repeats, and whatever clean real-time blend one elects to use.. I set up the Alter Ego in this manner. Steve was impressed with the net result, pulled out his little black sketchbook and quickly drew up what he thought could replicate this. In a flurry of button-presses, Zoia was doing this. Perhaps a tad differently, since it doesn't automatically crossfeed different versions of a mono input to both outputs, but he came very very close.
It's up to 4 seconds :) But yeah, I'm a little proud of that idea (really the idea for how to split the tap tempo is the important part). But if I'm a GOAT, it's because I'm also a goat -- stubborn as hell. This delay only goes up to 1250 ms? Hogwash!
This is amazing!! With all these releases the only things left I would want are a good pitch shifter, more lfo tweakability and a polyphonic pitch detector
I don't know about the pitch ones, but there is a LOT you can already do with the LFOs (and even more when paired with some other modules). What do you find lacking?
@@ChristopherHMJacques Yeah no sorry forget about lfos you are right I can already do almost everything I want with them, I was playing with something letting me draw lfo shapes these days that's why haha, the only thing I find really missing is the quality pitch shifter

is there a link to the FW? the 5.0 link still goes to 4?
@@domgraveson1942 My bad.
You can download it here: empresseffects.com/blogs/support-zoia/updating-firmware-on-the-zoia-and-euroburo-latest-version
Thanks for the info on possible bugs. I am always reticent to update firmware on anything too quickly.😁
Very cool! Love all your contributions to the ZOIA platform! We’ve all learned heaps from your work!
Thank you!
You are one of the three legs of the Zoia-sphere. Hardware/Firmware/Christopher Jacques
Empress classy for recognizing your hard work, you've been fundamental in helping so many people learn and enjoy this wonderful pedal! Thanks Christopher!
Thank you!
encouraging in a way that you would encourage your grandfather to take up activities 😂
love your humor! thanks for all your hard work on ZOIA!
Just remember to put me in the sun every now and then....
Thank you!

Christopher, congratulations and thank you for the adventure with ZOIA👏👏👏
Thank you!

Hi from the US :) Thank you for your kind words!
ITS good to see you again on YT Christopher! Nice patch!!!
Thank you!

You folks are getting "visitors"?
I'm glad you enjoyed it :)
Nice to see you again. Hope you're well.🎶🎹🎶Play On
Thank you! I hope you're well!

Wonderful! You fly so we can walk!!!
Ha, if I could play sax like you, I'd never finish a patch :)
Your a legend! well deserved, great new patch🤘🏼
Thank you!

Dude. The custom "I want the reverse events to be up to 2 sec, so I just built an overrun page" idea is why you're the GOAT. This is fantastic!

How did you get a white ZOIA?
