Empress Effects Zoia Modular Effects Pedal - Secondhand

Full Description

New sampler module, logic gate and more - firmware version 3.0

Expanding its list of modules; the ZOIA Modular Effects Pedal now includes a new Sampler (beta) section, which allows you to record and stereo WAV files (16-bit/48kHz). This opens up a new world of sound design options, allowing you to incorporate your own custom samples; chop up found sounds and even play around with existing samples.

Not only that, but the new firmware version also includes a new 'Logic Gate' which has been added to the CV control group of modules. Using the new module, you can perform logical operations using the CV inputs including AND, OR, NOT, NOR, NAND, XOR and XNOR. Last but not least, you can also import/export single patches to an SD card for added flexibility. Lots of bug fixes are also included - for a full tutorial on how to update your firmware click here.
