Does ZoeOs reduce the necessity for a dedicatred Emu hard drive? what with its ability to transfer/organise presets+banks etc. Is storing every thing on PC now plausible?

Or have I missed something...

Hi, this Paul @Zuonics. Aside from a wealth of other functionality, ZoeOS allows both preset and sample packages. Preset packages allows arbitrary chunks of preset memory and associated samples (over SMDI) to be saved to the local PC disk. Multimode and master settings can be stored in preset packages too. Preset packaging is comparable in speed to saving to an EOS disk for small number of presets e.g 1-50. But to save a bank chock full of presets as a preset package requires the retireval of each preset over midi before saving(which can take a little time). Therefore preset packages are envisioned as a neat way to store complete ideas outside of the EOS file system - but are not to be seen a s a replacement.

Creating a preset package in ZoeOS is as simple as selecting the presets you want to package and selecting the package command. Note also, ZoeOS will also parse the links of each preset and automatically inclide linked presets too.

Another point: E-MU does not support retrieval of RFX parameters, so these cannot be included in preset packages.

The other advantage of preset packaing in ZoeOS is that you can email packages to collaborators who also own ZoeOS - thus enabling a collaborative environment.

Wicked mate.



Solid.

Any news on the next update, Paul? I'm really looking forward to a help file/manual.

I agree, it's time for docs. Functionality in ZoeOS is now almost stablized, so the time is right for a helpset. The next release will probably happen first week in June, second week at the latest - lots's of new stuff including auditioning, more flexible GUI, more commands, better interfaces for preset and sample package loading/saving and tons of bug fixes. Undo for presets might creep in there in the next release - have to see how it goes.

I gotta say, just looking at the site im very impressed with the thought that has went into this. Nice one!
