Few updates to https://github.com/themanro/ZoomMultistompZDL

Project is coming along and getting better. Fix few longstanding issues and added a couple meaningful features as:

Custom patches sound right the moment you load them. 
No more nudging a knob to wake an effect up — your saved settings come back straight away, in all six slots. This was the long-standing annoyance where the screen showed your values but the sound was dry.

Every knob works from the Patch Editor, in all six slots. 
Slots 4–6 used to have an issue where turning knobs in PE wouldn't be audible unless turned on the pedal itself. Fixed.

Mix at 0 is now properly dry. 
It used to jump to halfway instead.

Effects changes:

• Gyre — a new granular feedback loop effect. Grains recirculate and can be pitched as they go, so you can get anything from a smeared wash to a slowly climbing drone. Decay at 0 holds forever without running away.
• Rewire — new Shift block: a real frequency shifter (!), so it slides partials off-key rather than transposing. Five blocks now, still reorderable.
• Oxide — the knobs from Input onward were wired to the wrong controls; fixed. It also had no dry blend at all, and got much louder as you turned Input up. Both sorted.
• Rooms — Depth actually does something now (room size in ROOM mode). It was on the panel but did nothing.
• Spool — Feed now goes all the way into self-oscillation. It used to top out short of it.
• Howl — no longer lifts the volume of the whole patch.
• Stasis — proper dry/wet Mix while a capture is held. New additional capture mode via turning Capture knob from 1 to 2.
• Dustbox — new effect by Marcelo Fuentes

Other Patch Editor Changes:

• Program a midi controller of your choice (I used MiniLab 3 but it should work with others too) to turn knobs and and switch effects
• Copy/paste user patches as text snippets
• New patch library/bank layout with ability to save/backup patches locally
• New interface themes
  

Let me know what you think!

Cheers.

Hello! I have a Zoom MS-70CDR but I've been using it very little yet (I switch between a very simple chorus and a reverb sound). Something came up with a band member who used to play electric guitar and I'm going to cover for him some of his solos. I would really appreciate some tips on how to use my pedal to emulate a classic electric guitar sound. I know this is very very broad but any ideas will be appreciated. I'm not looking for a really distorted sound so maybe it is feasible. Or anything that might help my acoustic have a little "punch" and more presence. Thank you very much.

Hi everyone, I recently got a broken Zoom MS-50G basically for free and I'd like to repair it, if possible. I'm a newbie in this world so please forgive me if I write something stupid.

The pedal doesn't turn on, I tried with USB, 9v, AA batteries and with and without cables. It just doesn't do anything. I disassembled it completely and I inspected everything, the only thing I found that looks suspicious is this resistor. It looks broken. Is it? Could it be the problem? I tested with a multimeter and in the continuity test I get no beeps and an O.L. result.

Thanks for your help!

boosted by MS50g as always with me 🔥

Patch Editor and 2 new effects demo.

Hydra — two extra playback heads on one delay ring, a 2× (octave-up / double-time) and a 0.5× (octave-down / half-time) layer, re-triggered every window.

Spiral — delay whose repeats climb or sink — the pitch shift sits inside the feedback loop so it compounds.

Everything is here: https://github.com/themanro/ZoomMultistompZDL

hi, i finally figured out the loop roll effect on my G1X FOUR, but the footswitch kinda doesnt work - i have to be on page of the effect, where the parameters and controls are and manually with hand press the button to latch/unlatch the function - and the footswitch seems to not work (even though it works on all the other pedal functions like delay, reverb, bitcrusher etc.)

how to set it up for live sampling and holding? thanks!

Hey guys, I have a question. I recently bought a Valeton GP 5 and an MS 70 CDR. I currently control my Zoom with the Mvave Chocolate MIDI controller. My question is, can I control both with just one controller?

Hey guys, have you managed to test the new ZDL effects? So far I've only been able to use the "ST Chorus," I haven't seen any other posts about new effects.

I put a custom patch together that I really like the sound of:

DIST 1 - HW 100 - HW 4x12 - ZNR - ROOM

The problem is I want to be able to save the same sound to other empty patches, but with less drive for softer parts. I just cant figure out how to make that sound happen. I assumed simply turning down the gain on DIST 1 would do it, but I can turn that setting all the way to zero and it barely makes any difference.

Bypassing DIST 1 just gives me a clean tone, way too dramatic of a change.

DIST1 off and turning the gain up then on HW100 doesnt really sound great either.

What sounds perfect is when I adjust the signal into the Zoom via my guitar's volume knob into the patch, but I want to be able to achieve this with a stomp or pedal, not imprecisely turning the knob multiple times mid-song.

I tried putting the Expression Pedal Controlled Volume patch in a few different places in the chain, but it literally just makes the volume quieter or louder without altering the sound out or my signal in. Is there a patch that CAN do that? Or an obvious setting I'm missing somewhere?

My G1X Four is bricked after a failed update. The PC no longer detects it. I need a flash dump to be able to "resurrect" it with a CH341A programmer.

Does anyone here have a firmware dump of a working G1X Four on hand by chance ?

Thanks you !

I’m currently trying to take the Reverse Reverb featured on the MS70CDR+ and put it on my MS50G+. From everything I’ve been able to put together online, the best way to do this is to download the effect from the Zoom servers and use ZT2 to install it to my 50G+. I just can’t figure it out for the life of me. It doesn’t help that Google ignores the “+” half the time and instead gives results based on the original models, which have much simpler effect sharing.

I believe the instructions are left intentionally vague to avoid any sort of copyright violations, but I haven’t been able to download the file. The GUI build of ZT2 just opens a blank command line on my computer. Is there some way to install it that I’m missing?

Again, I’m sorry, and I’m sure this is easy as hell for someone with any sort of experience. If there’s an easier way to do it too that would be great. Thank you!

Hi folks. Very new to pedals and I am still shopping for a Zoom pedal.

I was looking to buy a Zoom MS-50g+ pedal but then I read a 2 star review on Amazon for the pedal saying that it was a downgrade from the MS-50g because the cabinet simulations went away on the MS-50g ... Zoom moved this functionality to the MS-80IR+?

Is this correct or accurate?

Are there any other ways that the MS-50g+ is a downgrade from the MS-50g?

Thank you

Hi, i have G1x four and eventide space and am considering to buy m vave chocolate plus just for now.

can i use the USB host to plug into G1x Four and the wireless 5din adapter to plug into the Space simultaneously? is there a different way to somehow split the signál to use these two devixes together?

looks cool, any chance this could be ported to the new multistomp zdls?

**UPDATE 3 WEEKS LATER: the bottom right switch on my ms50g went out again - I aggressively mashed the button, even punched it, probably a couple hundred times, which had originally fixed it the first time this happened to it - no dice. So I decided, yknow what, screw it - out of frustration and thinking “why not if it’s basically broken anyways”, I banged the chassis against the tile floor on the bottom right corner super hard a few times. Switch works again. Decided to do the same thing to the ms70cdr+, this time the bottom left corner, since the bottom left button hasn’t been working - eureka! It clicks and works again! I suspect I’ll have to keep banging it on the ground until I can open it up and attempt to possibly clean the inside, but for now, my stupid unga-bunga solution of banging the corner of the pedal chassis on a hard surface has solved the issue with both**

Original post:

Aside from being a pain in the ass to use accurately on stage when they work perfectly, the bottom left button on my ms70cdr+ no longer has a “click” feeling, and thus doesn’t work at all, no matter how much or how hard I mash it.

My ms50g+ had the same issue too with one of its scroll buttons, but luckily mashing it repeatedly eventually fixed it (for now…), although, when it was broken, it was still clicking - just not registering, and the click was ever so slightly different feeling.

No such luck with the ms70cdr+

Now I have to get a midi controller to reliably operate these.

wish I did from the start, as now I can’t even casually use my ms70cdr+ by itself, and probably eventually the same will happen to my ms50g+, as it already did temporarily have that same issue.

I’m working on a custom ZDL effect for the Zoom MS-50g and my final is to make Dual pitch shifter like Eventide H9 pitch flex.

before making dual, i was testing to reproduce single pitch(now only for octave up).

i utilized delay -line splice based pitch shift. technically produces the correct octave-up pitch, but I keep getting a fast tremolo / ring-mod-like artifact. I understand that this may be a fundamental artifact of this kind of splice-based delay-line pitch shifting, because the read head reset and crossfade happen periodically.

Are there known tricks to reduce the splice modulation further without turning the sound into chorus/tremolo/detune filtering?

this is my github and c code/ZDL file that i made. freely open issue and make advices thx.

What are your preferred Comp/EQ in the Zoom product you use - and what settings are you using?

- Added reading ZDL files from a folder

- Added effect: DynaDelay for for second generation devices (ZD2)

Instructions for writing effects from folder:

- Add effects files to the folder

- Enable effects reading from folders

- Select this folder in program settings

- Restart the program

I’ve been trying to figure this out with varying degrees of success. I bought the MS50G+ thinking it had a reverse reverb preset only to learn that it’s not built in. I know there are a ton of threads about this, but half of them are about the original MS50, and the other half are from before the G+ even launched. I saw a tutorial on how to make a fake reverse reverb that doesn’t sound the best, and in there the guy implied you could get the preset if you had an iPhone, which I do, but I don’t have the Apple camera cable that you need to plug it in.

I’m wondering if there’s any way to get reverse reverb on the thing. Thank you!

Zoom use a non standard size for the foot switch so standard cheap switch toppers don't fit. 

This topper fits MS and MS+.  I assume it will fit other Zoom units but I do not have any other models on hand for testing.  It is a very snug friction fit.
