It's an amazing little module - effectively a modular system in a single unit.

You can dig as deep as you like, or just use one of the hundreds of patches available as a 'normal' or more accurately a complex fx unit.

Be warned... The more you play with it the deeper you go.

Empress Zoia Euroburo // Design your own synth

Exclusive tutorials, patches and samples on https://patreon.com/starskycarr A review and demo of the Empress Zoia showing how I've found I've been using it for the past 6 months. The Zoia Euroburo is both simply stunning and creatively complex, but it's up to you how deep you want to go. From using it as a pure effects unit to wizard level modular programming it can become a completely immersive experience. I have been using it in 4 situations: 1. As a complex single modular system in one unit 2. Using the preset FX and those from patchstorage - simple but stunning 3. Integrating with your system using its Utilities and functions 4. As a mini modular synth.. design your own Synth. ITS FUN!

excellent! I've had one of these sat in my rack for nearly a year now, and as I've whittled down a lot of my modular set up, this one has stayed. I bought it originally to be a looper and pitch harmoniser, which are actually it's weakest points. I really need to dig into it, so maybe this video will help, I'll give it a proper watch with a cuppa later on!

Do you find creatively, it's also a bit of a different thing patching with this thing vs just getting into jamming some music out? I found that I'd have to be in a patching/creating an fx or synth patch headspace, rather than making a tune, it really just put a massive full stop on anything I was writing every time I reached for it

Yeah I spent a while doing nothing and then took a weekend out to create some stuff. You can go so deep it’s intimidating.. especially if you try to follow some of the more complex projects - for me that turns into a complete turn off - so I stuck with more simple stuff. It can be a fun challenge to create something but if in the end it’s becoming a complete distraction I start to feel my anxiety building and freak out :) basic stuff like creating synths is really easy. Making a plate reverb using filters and delay lines… err good job someone else has bothered!
