Every time you play a little part from one of your classic albums like at 15:57 it just reminds me like "Oh yeah I forgot this youtuber is someone I've been listening to since I was like 13 years old"
wowwwwww. what a fantastic module.....absolutely can't wait to put my hands on. the last module i was so excited about, was fer morphagene!!!!!thx for the video ben, i will watch this 10, 15 times and i am good to go!
A month after my earlier comment, I now have my Zebu in hand. The first thing I did was make a 4-voice poly synth with breath control. This thing is amazing. For future video: I’d really like to learn more about how you use the utilities like comparator, multiplier, cv delay, etc, in creating generative music.
Would be very interested to see you construct or breakdown a generative patch contained solely within Zoia, for example, any of those you have previously released.
I was just thinking "well... now I want a video of Lucy playing the Euroburo with pitch quantization" when the paws came up. Great work as usual, Benn!
This was amazing. I love pretty all of your stuff, but this is one of the most interesting I’ve seen. Perhaps because I’ve preordered a Zebu and I can’t friggin’ wait. But mostly because you’re awesome at what you do.
I really got Drambo vibes from this workflow. Shout out to Drambo anyone who has an ipad and wants this kind of modular workflow. It's a rabbit hole, and a very inexpensive one for what you get.
Thanks for the video. I am learning a lot from it. 2ND IDEA: Things, modules, change with time and I could not test my Euroburo with an FM as I recently sold mine. For this tutorial, I am using a Roland D-05. All I could hear from my setup was clicks in time with the clock signals. I ended up using the LFO out and clock divider outs as gates for the MIDI Notes Out Gates. EDIT: With the D-05 it depends on the preset. I will have to play them with a regular MIDI keyboard to figure out more.
Superb video, with clean and clear instructions. As for the device, it's obviously very powerful, perhaps a little too powerful. Also, having spent the 80s and 90s staring at little blue Akai displays for hours on end at a time, - I just couldn't do it all over again, and this time with a display 10x smaller?
Re polyphonic patches, doesn't the Zoia have a way to "repeat" a patch? Like, have 4 instances of the same patch (for 4-note polyphony) instead of having to replicate filters, vcas, etc inside one patch? (I've been using the Axoloti Core which can do that, polyphonic patches are just different instances of the same patch running in parallel, and notes are round-robin'd to the instances)
Too bad about that screen placement below the rotary encoder. Is there any chance they could switch places? That seems like a major problem that's very addressable.
Random idea for later: 7:15 or so "minor harmonic" is selected. Is that option only accessible in the menu? I wonder if you could control the scale type by CV or midi...
Have you ever tried out Hector by Poly Effects? Wonder whats your opinion on those two. Cant decide which one i should get (damn you rackspace!), i prefer the structure and overview you get with hector but the haptic interface and faster response with zoia is also a huge plus
Can you consider showcasing the looper options on the euroburo? I was comparing this to the squid sampler for grabbing live loops and wanted to know more. I appreciate it
Hey...I'm looking for a synth that makes glitchy noises....I wanted a 0-coast, but those are not available. Does the Euroburo have glitchy noise sounds?
Just to get an idea of the DSP limits, any idea how many simultaneous clones of the first synth voice featured here (upsampled, with verb) it might handle before overload?
Request: How to adapt Zoia pedal patch to euroburo. It's lovely to patch from start, but there's a lot to be learned to scan through already made patches. But the one's I find online are mostly made for the pedal. How would you adapt these patches to the euroburo.
so I built the patch with my new zoia the way you did but my patch seems to make a click noise whenever i use my keystep 37 to send midi notes. any idea what the cause is?! thanks for your help.
its going from ( USB powered from comp ) keystep midi out - > midi in Zoia - > headphone out -> 404 in then out to my mixer. when i hit a key the click happens, but when i plug my headphones in the zoia instead of 404 i don't hear it anymore...
I wasn't sold on the Zoia until I watched this, I still wish they put a bigger screen in it and made it less pedal-ly, it feels like it's pushing it's form factor to breaking point
Around th-cam.com/video/X_cJ9lepNkw/w-d-xo.html you mentioned adding a trigger module to turn the LFO into a peered or paired gate. I was curious which term is correct and also wondering what is the purpose of doing this? It seems like it is doing the same thing as the LFO CV Output, so what is the advantage to doing it this way?
Thanks for showing me that I am indeed far too blind to use this! in the traditional sense and a complete lack of any colour vision doesn’t help. Shame because the ZOIA platform seemed so interesting otherwise, well used to this by now. Lovely vid as always.
The constant zoom in, zoom out, and panning made me motion sick, I actually had to stop watching it :( Please use faster zooms or cuts if you could in the future. Thanks!
Ohhh I get it now... this is just a glorified, extremely limited hardware equivalent to VCVrack, which is free and can run on basically any laptop made after 2008. Why would anyone want this
@@BarnacleButtock If you would prefer to use VCVRack instead of hardware, that's totally fine and your preference. This is an extremely powerful module that I really enjoy using, if that wasn't already evident given my previous upload.

Was that the (cherokee script) highways melody, right?
Just looked bc I was about to make the same comment pretty much
Wow. I don’t have a Zoia but I totally “get” the interface after watching this short video. Your workflow is fast!
Pure pleasure watching your things Benn!
Lovely fancy dinner piano track :)
This is a lot of useful information in a short amount of time. Great stuff.
man,this was up 7 min ago,where is your space ship sir?
@@marcel_holdys lol 😂 i watched about 65% of the video when i came to my conclusion. No time machine necessary 😋
Straight to the point!!!! 😍
Mine just arrived! I'm so excited. Thanks for the tips!
wowwwwww. what a fantastic module.....absolutely can't wait to put my hands on. the last module i was so excited about, was fer morphagene!!!!!thx for the video ben, i will watch this 10, 15 times and i am good to go!
Great video, I watch all your videos to support. I also watch bc of your talent, comedy, and knowledge of studio gear.
Ty for all your hard work.

Benn Jordan: Let me show you how easy this is
Me: *Completely lost after first step*
Also me: I should totally get this pedal its siiiiick
For real haha! After 1:00 I was like "the hell is going on???" and after 2:00 I was like "Damn, I need this!"
Its a good thing I'll never get bored with watching you create a subtractive monosynth lol Great vid as always 🤍
Would be very interested to see you construct or breakdown a generative patch contained solely within Zoia, for example, any of those you have previously released.
I was lost about 3 minutes in, but it was really interesting watching you patch from scratch. Cool pedal!
Christ, this demo made me dizzy......your workflow is on another dimension! Amazing!
Wow the menu-diving!!!!
Great demos , thanks for making them. Such a great and complete Instrument
great ... now I HAVE to buy one of those , thanks (great video btw)
Very cool!! I am looking at this module. Kinda throws you off with the lack of visual input, but I suppose you just get use to the buttons and colors.
I was just thinking "well... now I want a video of Lucy playing the Euroburo with pitch quantization" when the paws came up. Great work as usual, Benn!
Great work, Benn.
Makes me wonder why they put the display under the big knob instead of above it.
This was amazing. I love pretty all of your stuff, but this is one of the most interesting I’ve seen. Perhaps because I’ve preordered a Zebu and I can’t friggin’ wait. But mostly because you’re awesome at what you do.
Thanks for making these videos, demistyfies this beast and makes me consider bying it.
When you said "I'm going to make this saw aqua" you weren't
kidding. Sounds like a water saw to me😜🎶🎹🎶 Play On
super duper cool and applies to more than just the buro. please more more more

this thing is dope, and if empress came out with a little 8-10hp dedicated reverb module id snag that too.
Even if it was bigger than a Starlab, I would snag.

I feel like you and the guy from True Facts would make an amazing duo
Wow those picks look sick
More of this would be sweet even for existing Zoia users!

REVERB IS BLUE!!! THANK YOU BENN
Wait, why is the knob above the screen?
Yep, going to get one.

Hey Benn great video yet again. Would love to see a follow up talking about using external CV sources with the zoia if you get a chance.
Does this have any more juice under the hood or extra modules in comparison to the zoia? Or is it just the additional outputs/ inputs?
I would like an answer as well.
This
Random idea for later: 7:15 or so "minor harmonic" is selected. Is that option only accessible in the menu? I wonder if you could control the scale type by CV or midi...
Yup. 1. Press the scale switch button. 2. Also press whatever you want to control it. 3. PROFIT
@@BennJordan Ahh there's a scale switch button! Empress rules.
Have you ever tried out Hector by Poly Effects? Wonder whats your opinion on those two.
Cant decide which one i should get (damn you rackspace!), i prefer the structure and overview you get with hector but the haptic interface and faster response with zoia is also a huge plus
He talks about Hector the other video I think
@@K3150 Ah nice, thanks! I'll take a look into it then
Euroburo would be such a great band name
Dude, what's the jazz song at 6:45?
Great video nice!!!!!!
Can you consider showcasing the looper options on the euroburo? I was comparing this to the squid sampler for grabbing live loops and wanted to know more. I appreciate it
HI, nice work :) a i have a question, yours output audio cables to the digital recorder they are mono each one? Thanks!!!!
Hey...I'm looking for a synth that makes glitchy noises....I wanted a 0-coast, but those are not available. Does the Euroburo have glitchy noise sounds?
Super interesting stuff - need to try that with the gear I have available..... 🔊🎧🎶

How would you adapt these patches to the euroburo.
just got it. how can i send the cv from an lfo to clock a poly beebo thru midi? great stuff as usal thx
How much CPU did that last polysynth patch take up?
Been eagerly awaiting this device since it was first mentioned. Versatility is excellent. #DogsPawsMatter
Great video! What is the device in the background that looks like an Ableton Push with knobs and sliders?
it's a polyend medusa
Hi, any chance to make Acidwolf - Legacy available on spotify please?
Great video, thank you (though the background music kept pulling my attention away from the instruction)

Zoia is a synth now?

I was curious which term is correct and also wondering what is the purpose of doing this? It seems like it is doing the same thing as the LFO CV Output, so what is the advantage to doing it this way?
A bit obscure but does anyone happen to know if the Zoia's step sequencer can do slides and slurs? I have a hankering to build a 303 inside Zoia.
Connecting the sequencer output to a slew limiter should do that.
i might just be too dumb for this module. i find it so logical but at the same time so insanely complicated.
does it come with a scuba mask? :D
lol

good solo, dog
yo
Is that dog in a band?
may have gig
One more adjustment that would allow my dog to play this
15:57 Hah, High-ways
guy just whips out an attenuator like a tic tac, meanwhile I'm trying to figure out how and why exactly my monitor makes it impossible to see my DAW
when Benn says "easy"... yeah.. Don't believe him. May be we have very different standards for easy.
Your dog 😂
perimeters? beero? are you fucking with me?
why are you saying eurobeero?
you shill 4 macdonald? whatever it takes 4 you 2 make money brotha. still subscribe to this video but lose respect.
Who plays guitar? I see a pick...nobody?

@@BennJordan It's not a VST, it involves no coding, it uses the same basic principles and elements/modules as this unit. Why the unnecessary hate?

@@BennJordan Glad to hear you enjoy it!
I want it because I've never seen a 3U/34HP laptop with audio/MIDI and CV ins and outs. Also, I click with a mouse way too much for work already.
