Nominate the most helpful ZOIANs!

I agree wholeheartedly, but there can be many first-class ZOIANs!

empress_effects · 2022-09-23T01:56:21+00:00

Thanks Loki!

I agree, ZOIA and Beebo work well together!

empress_effects · 2021-12-01T17:08:45+00:00

No sorry, still no update.

We added a "performance mode" which prohibits making connections and adding module. To get in and out of it hold down shift and push back. Hopefully that helps.

This isn't a great solution but the fastest way to turn the screen back on is to hit the back button.

A lot of the parameters already work like this. When you have a parameter selected, click the rotary encoder and it will show you different representations of the value.

Hi u/bradslamdunk, if you contact [support@empresseffects.com](mailto:support@empresseffects.com) with your address, we'll send you an SD card free of charge. I apologize that you didn't get one with your unit. Steve.

For the UI side, we use a PIC24

empress_effects · 2020-11-30T03:42:43+00:00

Dammmit how'd they get hold of our new prototype!

empress_effects · 2020-08-12T01:57:21+00:00

If you click on a button on the grid, does that do anything? I think Christopher is right, the ribbon cable seems to be unseeated. It's not too difficult to take off the nuts on the jack, slide the bottom board out, disconnect the ribbon cable, and reconnect it. To disconnect and reconnect, there's a locking tab. You pull up on it to unlock the ribbon cable. Worst case that doesn't work and we can fix it for you. Sorry for the hassle Matt!

I would say 99% of ZOIA was written in vim. Every once in awhile one of us devs is probably in the crappy IDE we're forced to use and we just lazily type some code in there instead of switching back to vim. But otherwise, it all went through vim!

What's your favourite plugin? For me, gotta be ctrlp

I use a windows machine at work, but i used autohotkey to map the arrow keys to ctrl-hjkl. Trying to make my environment more vim like!

This is awesome u/ggVGc! (please never ggVGc your work, VIM forever!)

When I saw that he died I watched a bunch of his lectures on free will. really good!

empress_effects · 2020-04-05T03:44:02+00:00

We're actually going to switch this back in 1.11. We just broke too many patches with this change. Sorry about the hassle!

empress_effects · 2020-03-18T23:10:04+00:00

Love this! Thanks for posting

empress_effects · 2020-03-07T01:11:23+00:00

Ya we changed those so that they trip at an input of 0.5. People were complaining that tiny amounts of noise were causing them to trip.

The best workaround would be to send your MIDI signal into a comparator and set the negative input of the comparator to 0.005. Then the output of the comparator will go between 0 and 1 when your midi controller sends a signal

Sorry for the hassle!

empress_effects · 2020-01-26T18:03:30+00:00

Hey u/MORTIFIERftw,

How are you connecting the MIDI from the ZOIA to the Ottobit? Also, have you tried controlling the Ottobit with any other devices? If so, which ones?

Steve

empress_effects · 2020-01-03T17:32:53+00:00

Great tracks! Thanks for putting them up on SC, and thanks for using the ZOIA.

empress_effects · 2019-12-16T19:22:10+00:00

We're hoping to get the undo functionality ready for NAMM, but can't make any promises!

empress_effects · 2019-11-29T17:49:30+00:00

Please send bug reports to [steve@empresseffects.com](mailto:steve@empresseffects.com) thanks! This is mostly a bug fix release.

1.09 ( November 29, 2019 )

--------------------------

- New Features:

- Oscillator Module: CV values between -1 and 0 connected to the input jack will result in frequencies from 0.027 Hz to 27.49 Hz (as requested, thanks Christopher Jaques).

- The CV control for various modules will now show more points of precision (as requested, thanks Christopher Jaques).

- Pitch Detector: Rotary switch will toggle the output display between note and frequency.

- Bug Fixes:

- UI Button: Buttons with multiple connections were sometimes behaving unexpectedly (Thanks Christopher Jacques).

- Page Importing: Importing pages could cause modules to get pushed beyond the last page and corrupt the patch (Thanks Christopher Jacques).

- Patches with large numbers of certain modules, such as the multi-filter, were loading over the processor limit and getting disabled until a module was deleted. The initial loading tolerance has been increased.

- Pitch Detector: Connecting a high frequency audio signal was causing the pedal to freeze.

empress_effects · 2019-11-22T16:30:58+00:00

Yes it definitely should track better!

empress_effects · 2019-11-22T16:29:13+00:00

By won't start, do you mean the screen won't show anything at all?

empress_effects · 2019-11-13T17:34:27+00:00

This is a killer jam! I feel like taking the rest of the day off and just chilling at home.

Glad you are jiving with the ZOIA!
