Has anyone managed to connect an Empress Zoia to grid modules to control Zoia parameters through MIDI CC? I am guessing that in addition to one or more Grid modules (which I already have), I would need a Knot module, and then I would be good to go? Or do I also need cabling that is not packaged with the Knot in order to have the right size inputs to connect the Zoia to Knot? Thank you for any pointers!
The Zoia has the same TRS MIDI connector as the Knot, so you only need a stereo (TRS) jack cable to connect it.
OK, thank you Greg-Orca!
Having received my knot, I can confirm that my Grid modules work very well with the Zoia Empress. Given that the Zoia is a full modular synth in a tiny (14 cm by 9 cm) box, and the Grids are small as well, one can have a full modular setup within a very small footprint and weighing almost nothing. Further, with Grids connected via the knot, one has a dedicated knob for every parameter in the modular setup. So full control of a modular synth in a tiny space…amazing!
Happy to hear that, sounds like a nice compact and powerful setup!
It is, this is as close to my ideal setup as I have ever been!
