A user manual for ECHOZ ZVERB Z5000 eect modules

This user manual covers the use of the ECHOZ, ZVERB and the

Z5000 Multi Eects modules. Due to similarities in method of

operation this user manual covers all 3 modules with sections

describing the programs on each afterward.

ECHOZ - Is an FX module fully dedicated to time delay eects from

emulation of tape echoes to early digital delays to complex multi-fx

units. 24 dierent programs cover a wide range of options and

internal signal path structures.

ZVERB - Has 24 dierent types of eects available ranging from

typical reverbs to more complex eects that combine delay and

pitch shifting with reverb. The eects are grouped by decades

based on either the era an algorithm or device was introduced or the

time when the eect was most popular.

Z5000 - The Z5000 is a Multi Eects module, it provides 24 eects

that include reverbs, delays, modulation, pitch and harmonizers. The

eects in the Z5000 were carefully selected to provide both

commonly used delay and reverbs and also some unusual sounding

and experimental eects.

Hardware Features:

- 8hp

- 3 illuminated buttons for bank selections

- 8 program per bank, total 3 banks

- 3 CV inputs for all 3 DSP parameters

- Analog clocking of DSP with CV

- Black version: +12V@130mA -12V@20mA

- White version: +12V@100mA -12V@20mA

Let’s get started.

Set the Fidelity to max (CW), turn on power, patch audio into the In

jack, patch the left and right output to your sound system. Make sure

to patch both left and right so you get the full joy of stereo.

Set the following knobs to the center: MIX, IN, TIME, FILTER,

FEEDBACK/MOD.

AUDIO SOUND SYSTEM

There are 3 buttons on the module, each one lets you scroll through

a bank of 8 eects. Hold down the Left button until it ﬂashes

indicating it is loading this bank into the DSP. Now that you are in

that bank, scroll through the eight eects by clicking the left button.

You will notice that everytime you switch a program the light on the

3 buttons indicate a pattern, the pattern is there for 5 seconds and

then goes o. This light pattern can help you remember a speciﬁc

eect you liked. If the pattern light turns o and you would like to

view it again just short click one of the other two inactive bank

buttons.

FILTER TIME FB/MOD

While scrolling, once you reach the YELLOW YELLOW YELLOW

pattern you know you are on eect No8, the last eect in that bank.

The bank light will also turn red. One more click and you are back to

eect No1 RED RED RED. Scrolling will continuously load the eects

in a loop 1..2..3…...7..8..1..2..3 etc.

These FX modules were designed on the concept of scrolling and

auditioning the eects live. We recommend scrolling while listening

and stop on the eect you like. The module will remember which

program you last used in a bank so when you switch between banks

you can switch between 3 of your favorite eects, one in each bank.

To switch to the next bank, just hold down the next bank button

down and a new bank will load up into the DSP.

The Eects Program section for each module has the LED patterns

for each eect. It might be useful for the ﬁrst time using the module

to print or look up the table while scrolling to get familiar with the

type of eects.

Understanding the view modes:

The module has two dierent display modes: default and minimal.

The dierences are listed below:

Default: Shows the program number in binary when changing

programs. Also, pressing an inactive bank button shows the current

preset number. Consult the charts in the eect programs for the LED

combinations for each program. Default also remembers the last

program set in each bank, so switching from the left bank to the

middle or right bank will load the last used program in that bank. For

example, switching from Left bank program 3 to Right bank then

back to Left will recall program 3 again.

Minimal: No display of the program number as shown in the eects

program section. The bank button will be yellow for programs 1-7

and turn red at program 8. Changing a bank will load program 1 each

time. For example, changing from Left bank program 3 to Right will

load program 1 in that bank, and switching back to Left will load

program 1 again.

If you would like to change the mode:

- To select the minimal mode hold down the center button on

power up.

- To select the default mode hold down the right button on

power up.

The selected mode is stored in memory and will be recalled on

future power ups. We encourage you to try both modes and ﬁnd the

one that is better for you, this is a personal preference.

Manual Controls:

Left Button - Hold to access the Left bank of 8 programs

Middle Button - Hold to access the Middle bank of 8 programs

Right Button - Hold to access the Right bank of 8 programs

Time knob - controls the decay time of Reverbs, the Delay time or

the rate of Modulation LFOs

Filter knob - sets the cuto frequency of the low/high or bandpass

ﬁlters in the program

Fidelity knob

Feedback/Mod knob - changes the amount of feedback in delay

programs or the depth/rate of LFOs in Reverb or Mod programs. Check

the program descriptions for details on what this controls.

Fidelity - Is a DSP manipulation technique developed originally for

the Z-DSP and brought to this line of eect modules as well. Inside

the module is an analog VCO that clocks the DSP chip, the use of an

analog clock (not a digitally generated clock) not only contributes to

the overall organic sound quality of the module, but also lets you

take the eects into new sonic territories with variation of the clock

speed. The Fidelity knob in will alter the frequency of the VCO clock

with sound eects ranging from pitch shifting and down to total

degraded digital noise.

CV Controls:

There are 3 CV control jacks on the module: Feedback/Mod, Time and

Filter. The left and right jacks are dedicated for controlling DSP

parameters mapped to the Mod and Filter controls, the center jack CV can

be routed with the toggle switch to either TIME which is a DSP parameter

or to Fidelity clock control.

The DSP CV controls have a built in slew circuit which limit the speed they

can be modulated. This is part of the design of the DSP chip. The Fidelity

CV is all analog and can be modulated at any speed and even into the

audio range.

In extreme cases where negative voltage CV is applied to Fidelity the DSP

chip might crash, this does not damage anything, just remove the negative

CV, switch a program and the DSP will be back in action.

Clipping light indicator:

The clipping light monitors the input and output signal level of the DSP

chip. If a signal level at the input or the output is too high that light will

ﬂash. Some times due to feedback the output signal can grow much larger

than the input signal, in that case reduce the amount of Feedback with the

Feedback knob.

Output gain:

These FX modules were designed to be used mostly at the end of

your synthesizer patch. As such they provide an interface between

your modular and your standard commercial line level studio gear.

The output gain of the FX modules is lower than standard Eurorack

levels but can also be set higher than line levels. When used with

modular levels on the input and the IN knob at 50% and below the

output is closer to line level which provides an easy interface with

your studio gear without risk of clipping.
