ToneLib Zoom

Today, the line between digital and analog music production is often blurred. This doesn’t apply only to synthesizers, but to other more “traditional” instruments as well, like electric guitars. Not only can you find programs that can turn your computer into an amp, but also applications with really specific functions.

One such example is ToneLib Zoom, an app that can enhance the experience of playing an electric guitar with a Zoom pedal. In case you didn’t know, Zoom is a Japanese audio company known for creating a wide array of amps and multi-effect devices for various instruments.

Remember that ToneLib Zoom is designed for use during an electric guitar or bass guitar session. The program can support devices such as: Zoom G5n, G3Xn, G3n and B3n Multi Effects Processors, Zoom G1Xon and G1on Guitar Effects Pedals, Zoom B1Xon and Zoom B1on Bass Effects Pedals, Zoom MS-50G MultiStomp Guitar Pedal and Zoom MS-60B MultiStomp Bass Pedal.

You can manipulate various pedal effects directly from the program’s interface. These are stored as “patches” and you can use them to save various effects and parameter settings. You can add effects to your session in the Effects chain panel and you can control them using the virtual knobs and switches that will appear bellow it.

ToneLib Zoom also offers a few keyboard shortcuts (which you can change) that can help you navigate through the app’s many functionalities.
