Product Features
A high quality blend of

architecture
-
easy-to-use interface
-
features
-
expandability
-
product direction
make ZoeOS a
unique and
progressive ancillary product that will ensure
an extended lifespan for the Emulator range of digital samplers.
We are currently focusing on functionality and flexibility rather than a gorgeous looking static editor. The interface will continue to be beautified over time, but that's
not our main goal with this product - the goal is to demonstrate what can be achieved with the DSP offered by the E4 - and to make it easy to achieve.
Many producers wish to hold onto their hardware in the face of products such as Kontakt and the Emulator X and Zuonics wish to cater for that segment, despite the fact that this segment is
becoming increasingly smaller.

Intuitive Nested Workspace
Data hierarchy of the Emulator reproduced intuitively in a nested tabbed panel format.
Preset caching
Presets are cached in ZoeOS memory for immediate recall and advanced informational capabilities.
Filtering, Selecting and Target Specific Functions on Presets and Samples
-
Filtering functions allow you to narrow your working set of presets and samples.
-
Selection functions allow you to select sets of presets and samples for target specific functions.
-
Selection, filtering and target specific functions can be combined to perform powerful house-keeping tasks.
Workspace snapshots
Instant recall of complete working sets of editors - either as an isolated activation or merged activation with current working set.
Sample Audition and Load
![[Sample Audition Load]](./NewProductTourImages/sample-audition-load.jpg)
Samples in a variety of formats, bit-depths and sample rates can be auditioned and loaded to the Emulator with automatic conversion to Emulator friendly 16-bit if neccessary.
Supported formats:
- Wave (.wav)
- Aiff (.aif)
- Au (.au)
Supported
bit depths:
- 32 bits
- 24 bits
- 16 bits
- 8 bits
Supported
sample rates in range 2 - 48Khz.
Flexible Parameter Editing Strategies
Each parameter can be edited by any of the following methods:
-
Double clicking cells to manifest combos & spinners controls.
-
Double clicking cells and editing directly by typing text.
-
Keyboard shortcuts such as:
-
CTRL-UP_ARROW increments selected parameters
-
CTRL-DOWN_ARROW decrements selected parameters
-
CTRL-LEFT_ARROW decrements selected parameters by 5% of range
-
CTRL-RIGHT_ARROW increments selected parameters by 5% of range
-
CTRL-SHIFT-UP_ARROW maximizes selected parameters
-
CTRL-SHIFT-DOWN_ARROW minimizes selected parameters
-
CTRL-SHIFT-LEFT_ARROW defaults selected parameters
-
CTRL-SHIFT-RIGHT_ARROW repeats value of first parameter throughout a set of selected parameters
-
The mouse wheel behaves like the Jog/Shuttle wheel on the Emulator.
-
Spinning the mouse wheel freely over parameter cells on tables with no selection.
-
Select the cell(s) you want to edit and start spinning the mouse wheel.
You can adjust multiple parameters simultaneously by making multiple table cell selections!
-
You can wheel inside spinner controls
-
You can wheel inside drop-down (combo) controls
-
Special parameter functions such as default, max, min, linear fade, repeat etc..
Add User Specified Parameters to the Voice Table
Customized user parameters can be added to the voice table. This generates many possibilities.
Notably:
-
The ability to edit parameters for all voices of a preset in a single tabular column.
-
The ability to apply the special parameter processing functions across voices.
-
The ability to compare parameter values across voices.
-
A great way to setup for extensive drag and drop of voice parameters
-
You could even customize the table to display all the remaining voice parameters, effectively editing the preset in one giant table!
Drag and Drop Functionality
Drag And Drop works for almost everything (and across machine boundaries) - parameters, presets, voice, links, zones and samples.
Here is a summary of the drag and drop possibilities:
-
Preset Context [preset(s)] <-> Preset Context [preset(s)]
(Preset Copy via D&D)
-
Sample Context [sample(s)] <-> Sample Context [sample(s)]
(Sample Copy via D&D)
-
Sample Context [sample(s)] <-> Windows Desktop
(Sample Load/Save via D&D)
-
Sample Context [sample] -> Preset Context [preset(s)]
(Apply sample to all voices/zones or new voice(s)/zones in target preset(s))
