I have an Organelle and a Zoia. Itās hard / unfair to compare something thatās had years to gestate with something thatās still shipping out to early adopters. BUT, I already see myself using the Zoia far more than the Organelle. I came to grips that I just wonāt learn PureData - no time, baby, not instantly gratifying. Orac fixes some of this, but with limited control. Iām not building something from scratch, Iām just connecting a Braids module to a sequencer. Zoia is instant - amazing how quickly I can build something complex - and to my ears, it sounds better than anything else out there - DSP and synth engine sounds better than Nord Modular, which was my criteria before I made the bold statement that it improves on the NM
My first patch was a crazy insect chattering unruly, unstable thing with 3 oscillators and wildly modulated effects. That was before I really knew what I was doing. Not bad for a āhello worldā!
