Empress Zoia Euroburo // Design your own synth

video upload by Starsky Carr

"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!"

Making A Simple Kick Drum on the Empress Zoia Eurorboro

video upload by Patchwerks

"In this video Matthew Piecora (aka EZBOT) makes a simple 'analog' sounding kick drum using the Empress Zoia Euroboro.

Order the EMpress Zoia Euroboro here: https://bit.ly/zoia_euroboro

The ZOIA Euroburo is a digital modular system that can be placed in your modular system, a real Russian nesting doll situation. We added a headphone output and a super-slim optional case so the Euroburo can live happily on your desktop or be easily mounted in a Eurorack case. Hence the euro + buro, pronounced “bureau”…get it!?

Create unique signature effects, synthesizers, sequencers and more while using 4 freely assignable CV ins and 4 outs to interface with other CV enabled devices. The additional headphone output and powered 9-12v case makes the module even more desktop friendly. With over 90 modules from CV utilities to audio effects, oscillators and envelopes to MIDI, the Euroburo can do almost anything to fill the gaps in your setup.

There's no need to worry about getting bogged down with endless menus or a cluttered interface. Creating patches and performing with the ZOIA is a tactile experience. Patching, deleting or moving modules and editing values can all be done quickly using the push-button grid and a flick of the encoder. With the addition of dedicated push buttons for the CV and Audio I/O, patching on the ZOIA has never been faster.

Feeding Chaos to the Cursus Iteritas Percido

video upload by Red Means Recording

"daddy made you your favorite, open wide

In this video, we explore the sounds of the Noise Engineering Cursus Iteritas Percido eurorack synth voice. We'll feed it pitch and modulation via the Clank Chaos sequencer, trigger it with Intellijel Tete and Tetrapad, and process it with a custom techno patch on the Empress Effects Zoia Euroburo.

This is going to get nasty."

"Exploring synth patches and the many possible sounds of the Empress Effects Euroburo as a main VCO / playable synth over MIDI. A synth showcase containing a selection of different synth patches: polyphonic pad synths, mono bass/leads, generative ambient machines, playable atmospheric drone patches.

The ZOIA Euroburo (or Zebu) is the module version of the ZOIA pedal adding 4 CV ins and 4 CV outs, 2 extra assignable performance buttons, as well as a headphone output. A dream creation station. A mosaic of sonic possibilities. On top of being a massively customizable effects unit, utility module and control device - this is a very capable synth."

Superbooth 20HE: Empress Effects EuroBuro - Modular Within Your Modular!

Published on Apr 25, 2020 sonicstate

"When we first saw the Empress FX Zoia at NAMM a couple of years ago we were very impressed by the complexity and wildness of something so open ended. Euro Buro is a eurorack conversion of the original Zoia. It adds a number of different features including 4 cv inputs and 4 cv outs.

Within the module itself is 80 different sub modules that can be combined to create your own unique functions, fx, utilities and much more.

In this demo we take a look at building an LFO CV mixer and a stereo panner and also adding some reverb. Nick also asks some pertinent questions about DSP usage…."

Mark Mosher #Jamuary 2020 Day 13

Published on Jan 13, 2020 Mark Mosher

"For my #jamuary2020 Day 13 I'm using only my trusty @nordkeyboards Nord Lead 4 with 3 custom presets from "init" arranged into a "performance" with a split.

For those not familiar with the Nord Lead 4, it has 4 complete synthesizers each with their own FX each. Presets called "programs" can be placed into one of four "slots". Slots can be combined into "performances" where you can perform with all four slots in concert.

For EACH synth instance you create both impulse and continuous morphs which allow you to save states for pretty much any parameter in for the preset in a slot without changing presets 😮.

You can save and trigger 7 impulse morphs per slot with impulse morph buttons on the left next to the wooden pitch stick. Morph buttons are momentary switches but you can latch them as I do 26 second mark. Continuous morphs are mapped to the groovy pumice mod wheel (or map this to an expression pedal).

I used this custom set of presets and "performance" when I performed as a special guest for the Boulder Laptop Orchestra (BLOrK) at the @cu_atlas Atlas Black Box at @cuboulder back in 2017. For this performance I used only the Nord Lead 4 with 14 programs each with a large number of morph states. Video here https://youtu.be/ScpItttfGlY.

In a somewhat related note I'm a @uccs_alumni so it was real treat to perform within the CU system 😀.

I kind of cheated ... self playing ZOIA patches (Empress Effects) // #JAMUARY2020 DAY 13

Published on Jan 13, 2020 DivKidVideo

"** Anyone called Floyd that's pink and feels like running? ** With the brilliant news that there's a new Eurorack version of the Empress Effects ZOIA the "ZOIA EuroBuro" as announced by Empress Effects today (link below) I thought I'd crack out the ZOIA pedal and well ... CHEAT! I say cheat as I didn't really do much musical creating today, I just flicked through some ZOIA presets and let some self running patches play away beautifully. There's a lot of rich and lush sound from ZOIA so I figured this can be more of a little ode to ZOIA and sort of a promo for it's self contained capabilities (not sponsored). I've had great fun with my guitar into it and the modular so more exploration to come."

#Jamuary2020 // Downtempo 2 - Digitone, Minilogue, Tensor, Particle V2, RV-500

Published on Jan 13, 2020 Soular Order

"My third jam for #Jamuary2020. Another downtempo one, this time featuring the Digitone, Minilogue, Tensor, Particle V2 and the trusty RV-500.

The Digitone is sequencing arpeggiated chords and a plucked bassline, plus is used for a live pad. The Minilogue is used for the live lead. I used the Tensor to build a looping pad made from some of the notes from the Minilogue, which is then run through Particle V2 for graininess and then into the RV-500 for some reverb."
