  1. I welcome any suggestions on how to make things more accessible. For me I wanted to control the pedal from a touchscreen with a Pi - getting older and can't see the darned icons so well. The Zoom and Tonelib doesn't render FX added using Mungewell's zoom-zt2. Hence I added a sime GUI - I could make tactile controls etc but a decent touchscreen seems to work well. Also any feature requests welcome. Or any other links to resources I can link.
  2. For the newer Zoom G5n series I have called info here - "GitHub - shooking/ZoomPedalFun: A collection of tips and tricks for Zoom B1On, B1XFour and G1XFour pedals." https://github.com/shooking/ZoomPedalFun I use Mungewell's zoom-zt2 and there are videos of how to add/remove FX. The latest video shows how to turn of G1XFour into a B1XFour (except it knows it is a G1XFour).
  3. Mungewell's zoom-zt2 is better fit for the modern pedals. I have built on this. You can find the A1 FX under my git "GitHub - shooking/ZoomPedalFun: A collection of tips and tricks for Zoom B1On, B1XFour and G1XFour pedals." https://github.com/shooking/ZoomPedalFun I have YouTube demos of a G5n with all the B1XFour FX I need plus some A1XFour. With my software you can visualise the FX. With Tonelib or Zoom Guitar Lab it will pretend the FX don't exist. They do 🙂 My most recent video shows how to take a G1XFour, remove all the FX, load up the B1XFour then load the patches. It is in effect (every pun intended) a B1XFour except the Sysex ID says it is G1XFour. These pedals are almost interchangeable.
  4. I got the MS-70 CDR from Amazon with the latest firmware. The Zoom Effects Manager seems to still work. A lot of midi control works. But it is a lot less controllable than I had hoped. When I make time to look at it I will try to do more with it. Simply to day I was able to inject new firmware with latest official firmware installed. If you have any links to the older firmware I would love to test it. If you look at the Zoom Effects manager it seems the version I have is based on the later Zoom firmware. Maybe the base image has to be compatible with the pedals?
  5. Hi. Sorry I hadn't signed in for a while - was too busy working on Zoom G5. I made a lot of progress with the ZDL format - so we can know the FXID and GID now. Alas whilst we can use sysex to set the FXID I haven't found how to set the GID. Which means you have to inject the modified FX in via full patch. And this is the way Tonelib and G1On (SysexTones) do it. I have a G5n now for my birthday - so will be updating my pages for: G1XFour B1XFOUR G3n G5n GCE-3 and B1ON MS-70 CDR And G5. I group them because the first set is controllable and modified by Mungewell's techniques (and my derived works). These are ZD2 FX. The 2nd set are harder to control but modifiable by Zoom Device Manager The 3rd series AFAIK are not injectable but are a lot of fun. Build like a tank but mine is in bad shape - the eBay seller was not as candid regarding pedals state as he could have been. I have added Sysex for most of these to my wiki and check code in. If you want to collaborate then hit me up via the issues tab. My plans are 1 - edit some unboxing videos and first impressions on the G3n, G5n, MS-70 CDR. 2 - use the XML format from edit&share ro help check patch reverse engineering from G5. I am hoping this will give insight into pedal parameter assignment - this isnpossible on G5 (especially the Z plane) and might throw some insight to the G(x)n series. 3 - release G5 control software 4 - explore the G5n and compare with the GCE-3 G5n emulation. 5 - update my b1xfour python (this determines type of pedal and reverse engineers content on the fly) 6 - Look into the MS-70 CDR but in processed sysex space. All of the work I seen so far is in raw space and this make the interpretation more complex. Of course good that it works but I prefer simpler approach. I post on my YT - hope to get more regular again. I don't have an Ms60 but I'd you have the cycles to trial some of the sysex and help populate the wiki that would be cool. I suspect it is ZDL FX. If I get a chance I Will download the firmware and see if my tools can pull out content. But Barsik's code is better suited to aspects of it. If it is a ZDL base then the stuff I put in the B1On DerivedData folder is likely applicable.
  6. I have started playing with the ZDL format files now (previous worked on the ZD2 for newer Zoom). Will be posting more on my GitHub -heres a link to the B1ON work https://github.com/shooking/ZoomPedalFun/tree/main/B1ON/DerivedData/DecodeFirmware. Those ZDLs were extracted from a custom firmware create via Zoom Effect Manager. I think we can extract all the ZDLs from a firmware then classify them. No idea how to create new ZDLs but I am starting to compare the different versions. I am 100% certain the bitmaps and parameters are encoded in the ZDL (just like in ZD2) More as I find it.
