Excellent video. It seems to me too that this Delay is an instrument and having hands on is essential. Let me ask you this: even if you were to assign all the parameters to a midi controller is the experience as good as the hardware version? I know some things get lost but to me the extra money for the original might provide a better tactile solution and more satisfying experience. What are your thoughts?

Thank you 🙏 for the compliment, I'm glad you liked this exploration video. Also: excellent question. It's not easy to answer and I've been asking myself the same. I think it's easier to get around it like this: using the pedal requires either an audio card with multiple outputs, plus cables and routing, or a single instrument (a synth?) to use it on. If someone doesn't have all that, the price difference becomes huge. Equally true is the opposite: if you don't have a computer to run the plugin on, and a DAW and audio card to do the routing, plus a MIDI controller, the plugin becomes even more expensive than the pedal, because of the ancillary costs. These are easy scenarios, the harder one is when someone has both environments, side by side. In that case I'd go by instinct and I know I'm also biased: I'd get the pedal. The pedal sounds even better, more capable of drawing a whole soundstage in which your source sound floats into and radiates effects to. I'm partial to real pedals, so again: I am not unbiased. The plugin can be set to give you a tactile experience, with a MIDI controller. You can reach a fairly enjoyable amount of automation and it can work in a production environment. For sure. It allows you to use more instances... While the pedal is limited. But the pedal is a notch further in feeling, when touched and played. The tonality is smoother, more organic, obviously being electricity and not just great digital code. The bottom line is that it's definitely relative to what you want to do. Armed with all the understanding that my taste is my taste and I'm obviously flawed as a human being, I'd contact Erica Synth and get a real pedal, because I like real pedals even in the limitations they offer and the commitment I have to give them when routed in the setup. I tend to make better music with them. But... The plug-in is basically the real deal for what it costs and how easy it is to use in a session. But it definitely needs some smart MIDI game to be what the Zen Delay was meant to be.

Nice plugin but there have been no updates for this whatsoever I think its one of them that will fade away which is a shame really, I mean really after all this time how can this still be on version 1?

You are right, well - I did not find any issues with the plug-in but it is true that it seems what it seems. I know Erica Synths has been super busy with their 'real' stuff but I hope their plug-in line becomes actually full-fledged, as they clearly have it in them to do it. I wanted to cover more Erica Synths hardware in free KZitem videos but things have not worked out in terms of their demo units coming my way. Maybe if we all write them, they'll recognize the need and :-) I'll be able to cover their whole product lines in a dedicated master class section, I'd love to and I can certainly make them work for the music I write! Fingers crossed!

Thanks for the overview. Do you know if the plug actually has midi learn for mapping? If not, I wonder how you could map its controls. Cheers.

You're most welcome! Thank you for the message. Zen Delay Virtual received CC that you can assign to mappings, I remember having no issues within Nuendo for the time I bound quickly the main controls to use knobs to sweep the filter etc.

Hi Steve! Thanks for reaching out. The master classes were free for some time and then became part of courses inside my Patreon. Feel free to take a look if you want to access dozens of hours of tutorials on Acustica Audio products, including, coming soon, Tiger! 🐯 patreon.com/ARizzoSchettino

@@steverachmadofficial There is, yes. It's a dedicated video on the Ivory Limiter. I don't want to sound like someone taking his own videos hostage to get ransom money: I'm working on supporting the music education projects I'm developing. I'm still happy to provide many of these for free and there will be in fact some live streams here very soon, which will get announced if you subscribed to the channel. Don't worry, I'm also healthily bad at marketing and I value education and knowledge share above everything else. However, these videos costed hours of work to edit and let out by my amazing assistant, Angelina. And I want to support her work by using the revenues of the Patreon to contribute to her monthly payments. So while on the one hand I must suggest you check out my Patreon (these videos exist because of those supporters) I also want to assure you that I won't go anywhere and more content will be here ;)

@@arizzoschettino I totally understand your point. And of course you want to offer something special for the people. You did catch my attention with your acustica video's. By now I must be an acustica junkie. As a hardware guy hard they come for me closest to analog sound. Even bought some of the same emulations from PA and Softtube to see the difference and to my ears and emotion they all sound and feel too digital. Although they have better low end punch sometimes

@@steverachmadofficial thank you! Absolutely: it would be really easy to do videos and content to appeal the Acustica crowd, as they are some of the most fond and active, passionate people for that brand and products. But I don't do propaganda... I make records, I write music for people. I share my knowledge and experience on it, no matter the tools. My focus is not product celebration, it's to give people the enthusiasm and spark to explore new concept, train, absorb and venture on their own, while having fun and feeling good about their passion. I know I have lost some students when they were expecting just overwhelming Acustica Audio love but I have, respectfully, more productive things to do. I think Acustica Audio appreciates my blunt candor as well because in the long run, the best proof I can give is that I put their tools next to the other tools... And keep making music. Thanks again for staying with me and I look forward to more!
