Empress Effects ZOIA: Introduction + Demo 

They are quite Muppet, aren't they?

They are quite Muppet, aren't they?

My uncle is a Nephilim and he is extremely touchy about his digits. In fact, He had 6 fingers and 6 toes …many could he play the piano….but I digress.

Most people's hands usually look like that because they work hard with their hands don't matter how old you are. Something someone that obviously doesn't know what work is that would notice. Probably got girly hands 😂

Classic

I chortled

Glorious! 👏🏻

Hi Omri 😁 sure it's very deep, it would go well with our Microfreaks , and probably with Vcv too ! 😃

Yeah it is on my list since quite a time. It will just take some time until I get to that row. =)

Sean Hannan I read this comment before watching the video. Had a good laugh 😂 at 5:43

it's just so fun to make sonic worlds with it

@@RedMeansRecording it reminds me of MI Clouds. Can you midi sync or gate trigger tempo?

LOL 😂

I think the main question to ask, from yourself, is: what are you looking for the device? In a nutshell: Mod Duo devices are great, if you're looking for a virtual pedalboard. ZOIA instead is great, if you're looking for customised effects or even instruments. They both can do more of course. Mod Duo has also instrument plugins for it and so on. Also, if you already have an external effects chain, ZOIA can so easily be added into the mix, where as Mod Duo can pretty much give you that effects chain as an one unit, if you don't have it already. If I'd be asked to give some cons per device: Mod Duo: the plugin quality (IMO) is all over the place, some are just terrible in terms of a device you just spent 525-700 on (depending of the model). You also need a computer to create the virtual boards, which can get really old, really fast. ZOIA: it's quite a restricted box performance-wise, by design, so it might not be what you expect. Creating larger patches can get a bit confusing (fortunately there are ways to organize the workflow though). Both are great IMO in their own way, but for ME, ZOIA wins, because of the sonic quality it has to offer. This might of course change, if Mod Duo would come that big of a thing that it would attract more top quality developers. But we'll see. Hope this helps a bit. :)

jarkokoo it does! Thanks for the perspective!

@@jarkokoo Is there an easy way to understand the differences in sonic quality without having both units sitting in front of me?

;)

I DMarco I was gonna ask the same question. They do seem to be similar, but maybe that’s superficial.
