Patch FX-chain view by category #55

Open nomadbyte opened 1 year ago

nomadbyte commented 1 year ago

Not an issue, just sharing some findings.

Out of curiosity, I listed the G1 FOUR standard patches to show which types/categories of effects are being chained in a patch.

Interestingly, 35.PadGuitar stands out with its DYN:DYN:MOD:DLY:DLY double-delay chain. Also, a few patches insert some effects between AMP and CAB (e.g. 11.ZEP 1959, 40.Lead BGN and 49.Rhapsody, which otherwise chained together.

For the most part DRV or DYN are first modules in chain, then feeding into AMP:CAB but there is some variety with that.

I guess, G5n patches show even more variety in chaining (could it insert even looper modules?).

Here's the cat-view for G5n standard patches (added the column with a defined chain-length)

G5n allows up to 9 effects in the chain and supports expression pedal PDL and looper LP. Apparently, there are a few patches that make use of the looper module (e.g. 051.Loopertron, 119.MK1 LEAD).

Curiously, there are quite a few compact patches -- those that use no more than 5 effects in the chain; well, there are even 4-chains (with pedal).

Cat-view chain for B3n patches (supports up to 7 effects in a chain).

Most of these patches begin with DYN module. (also many begin with FLT or MOD), then feeding into FLT or DRV. 12.RockDrive begins with double-DYN.

One patch 66.WarmUp uses rhythm effect module RHY. Most of the Bass patches are fairly compact -- 2-5 chains, a handful of 6-chains.

The longest is the 65.Trad Set with its 7-chain: DRV:DRV:FLT:MOD:MOD:MOD:DLY, double-drive and triple-modulation!!

For comparison, the cat-chains for B1 FOUR (up to 5 effects).

Curiously, all the patches show the defined chain-length 5, even though some of the actual chains are shorter.

Some patches eponymous with B3n differ just in the absent trailing REV module (e.g. 15.Tapping vs. B3n 46.Tapping).

I wonder if anyone has the A1/A1X FOUR standard patches? I'd be curious to classify those too.

mungewell commented 1 year ago

I have a GCE-3 and in theory could emulate the A1Four to save them off... however I am travelling for the next week. A simple script could grab the patches.

You could try asking @shooking

Save them off where? Firmware or the Guitar Lab?

The GCE-3 fw contains only some Guitar patches (see below), apparently some rehash of G5n/G3n patches.

Ok, figured it out. Below is the cat-view for A1 FOUR (supports up to 5 chained effects).

Here too, all patches explicitly set to 5-chain length, even though some chains are shorter.

Most of the patches begin with AGM (modeling effect) module or a filter FLT module. Last in chain is mostly reverb REV.

There's a triple-filtered 37.Vn N'sWah and triple-dyn-enveloped 24.AG HardCMP, a couple of double-modulated patches (e.g. 44.Tp Cosmic and 43.Tp Gagaku).

I generate the JSON for Fx and patch via this program. https://github.com/shooking/ZoomPedalFun/blob/main/python/b1xfour001.py

As u said, the G5n can add a looper or rhythm- so far I model this as a skeleton zd2 - which seems to be how Zoom do it.

I seem to recall it is possible to get 7 fx in a g1xfour. I think sysex 44 gives max fx and patch bank layout. Recall fx have a slot width. Looks like 5 but is 7 wide.

Here's the cat-view for G11 standard patches (can chain up to 10 effects, also supports IR), it's v2.00, (001-240 is v1.00):

What's peculiar is that the patches reference IR modules (category:0x1b=27). I could not locate any .ZD2 files with such category id, yet that's how it's being referenced; perhaps it's a surrogate id, while the actual fx module is generated and inserted in real-time. Some example IR effect ids: 0x1b000055, 0x1b000021, 0x1b000011, 43 in total.

For G11 in particular, there's an official doc which lists all modules used per patch E_G11v2_PatchMemoryList.pdf, it also shows the IR modules and settings but does not reference these to files.

Apparently, one could even chain multiple IR modules, e.g. 249.MS RoomMic. Usually, the IR module follows an AMP but could follow DLY and other modules.

Here's a list of most frequently used effects across the standard G5n patches (all 125), sorted by category then descending by usage count. G5n denotes that it's a G5n variant (G1 FOUR often has its specific 1U/3S variant) .

     6 PDL "0x0b000020.BlackWah"
     5 PDL "0x0b000050.PDL Pitch"

Unsurprisingly, the most used effect module is ZNR (not counting the Volume pedal). Two runner ups are AMP "0x04000020.FD TWNR" (Fender Twin Reverb kind) and CAB "0x05000010.MS4x12" (Marshall 1960 A-type cabinet kind).

The most used DRV "0x03000010.TS Drive" (Tube Screamer kind) and "0x03000040.GoldDrive" (Gold Overdrive kind).

The second most used AMP "0x04000010.MS 800" (Marshall JCM800 2203 kind),

The second most used CAB "0x05000020.FD2x12" (Fender '65 Twin Reverb cabinet kind), followed by "0x05000050.BGN4x12" (Bogner Ecstasy cabinet kind).

In modulation category MOD "0x06000040.Phaser" is most used.

Not much surprise with delays -- DLY "0x08000030.TapeEcho" is a favorite, followed by "0x08000010.Delay" and "0x08000020.AnalogDly", which probably should have been combined and be the most used instead.

In reverbs (the most populated group in this ranking), the leadership is less obvious, generally, Spring and Hall are the most used.

No effect in SFX category was popular enough across the standard patches to make it over 5 count-cutoff.

All this does not mean that the other effects are not good, it just shows the preferences of the Zoom patch designers or marketers of the G5n. Also, this maybe skewed by initial availability of the effect modules, some of which at the G5n launch were not yet fully ported from ZDL format of the preceding models.

These findings transpose to G1 FOUR to some extent (as it has much fewer patches in general).

The most frequently used effects across the B3n standard patches (75).

Similarly, B3n denotes the B3n variant (as opposed to respective B1 FOUR variant).

     5 REV "0x09000040.HD Hall"

The preferences are harder to define in case of the Bass patches. Four most frequently used effect modules are:

Only two drives narrowly made it to the list: DRV "0x03800020.D.I Plus" (MXR M80 Bass D.I.+ kind) and "0x030000d0.NYC Muff" (Electro-Harmonix Big Muff Pi kind).

In addition to BMAN100, a few more AMPs are almost as equally "popular" "0x04800030.SMR400" (SWR SM-400 kind) and "0x04800040.AG 750" (Aguilar DB 750 kind). Surprisingly, SVT is less frequently referenced.

Out of cabinets, only two made it to the list: CAB "0x05800010.SVT8x10" (Ampeg SVT-810E kind) and `"0x05800020.FD-B4x12" (Fender Bassman 100 kind).

In modulation category, Bass Octave and Stereo Chorus are the most used.

Finally, Delay and HD Hall reverb are the most used.

These findings transpose mostly onto B1 FOUR patches (these make frequent use of FLT 0x020000b0.Exciter)

Finally, in Acoustic set of A1 FOUR patches it's harder to spot the preferences, as the number of patches is much smaller (40) and about half of them are MDL-specific (acoustic guitar model), so the counts are much smaller.

11 DYN "0x01000020.RackComp"
 6 DYN "0x01000080.OptComp"
 6 FLT "0x02400040.Bone EQ"
 5 FLT "0x02000071.ParaEQx2"

 8 DLY "0x08000021.AnalogDly"
 8 DLY "0x08400000.Ac TpEcho"
 4 DLY "0x08000011.Delay"
14 REV "0x09000070.Plate"
 6 REV "0x09a01000.DryPlate"
 5 REV "0x09000020.Room"
 4 REV "0x09000030.Hall"

Two most frequently used effects are REV "0x09000070.Plate" (Plate Reverb) and DYN "0x01000020.RackComp" (Rack Compressor).

In filter category it's EQ effects, FLT "0x02400040.Bone EQ".

Most used modulation is MOD "0x06a01001.PolyOctDw" (Octave down).

Delays are obviously "popular" (Delay/AnalogDly) and also DLY "0x08400000.Ac TpEcho" (Acoustic TapeEcho). Combined, the delays would be the most used.

Out of reverbs it's Plate and REV "0x09a01000.DryPlate".

Of course, such ranking says nothing about the actual models, which are the "beef" of the acoustic patches. Well, hopefully it says something about the "sauce".
