CONTROL VOLTAGE (CV)
With CV control, the ZOIA responds to CV signals from 0 to 5
volts. Otherwise, the CV configuration works exactly like the
expression pedal configuration. Integrate CV by first placing
“cport exp/cv in” or “cv out” modules on your page. You can
then connect these buttons to various other modules.
The ZOIA will receive control voltage signal on the tip of a ¼”
TRS connector, and it will send control voltage on the ring of
a ¼” TRS connector. In this way you can interface your external
synth modules to the ZOIA’s internal modules. There are tons
of possibilities for experimentation! Be sure to use a TRS
connector instead of a standard TS patch cable if you wish
to send CV from the Control Port.
EXTERNAL SWITCH
The ZOIA can be used with either a normally-open or normally-
closed momentary or latching external switch. Select your switch
type as either “open sw” or “close sw”. The switch will be read
as engaged when there is connectivity between the tip and the
sleeve of the TRS jack, so you can use a standard guitar patch
cable to connect your switch.
Interact with your external switch by placing the stompswitch
module from the “interface modules” category and set the
stompswitch option to read external. From there, you can
connect this module to anything from tap tempo inputs to
sequencers to gain stages. Experiment!
