![]() ![]() Or to use the Filter alone on my dry signal. ![]() For example, it would be great to use Mod Depth & Mod Freq to create a chorus. I wish I could use the knobs without also using the effects. This can make it really hard to tell what you're actually changing (I mean, how different are "space" and "reverb time," or "mix" and "effect volume"? I don't know because I have to rely on my ear and a best guess that I've actually switched from primary to secondary, etc.)Ģ). Holding down Shift/Select doesn't result in any color change or other indication that I've moved from primary to secondary or vice versa. There's no obvious way to tell whether you're accessing primary or secondary controls (right?). It's very possible that I just haven't figured them out yet or am missing something otherwise obvious, so I'd love anyone's thoughts if am!ġ). I've had the Microcosm for 6 or 7 months now, and after the initial honeymoon period, there are two things that really bug me. The sum of the Microcosm's parts is absolutely amazing, but I'd also like to be able to access its individual parts, if you know what I mean.Īgain, I could be totally missing simple solutions to both of these issues, so please help if I am! This my first pedal like this, so the learning curve is steep.but I'm at the point where I want to start steering the ship with it, rather than just floating away with its awesomeness like I have been. I can tweak what it does, but can't necessarily make it do what I want it to do.it has a mind of its own and I get only 75% control over it. What I love about the Microcosm is that it isn't just like it's a whole extra instrument, it's like a whole extra musician in the room-but that's the frustrating thing about it, too. Warp seemed like the easiest effect to try and approach each of these wants, but even after adjusting the reverb, Activity, and Repeats, it still results in extra pulses or more dramatic shifts than intended, not a simple chorus or filter, etc. This can make it really hard to tell what you're actually changing (I mean, how different are "space" and "reverb time," or "mix" and "effect volume"? I don't know because I have to rely on my ear and a best guess that I've actually switched from primary to secondary, etc.). It's very possible that I just haven't figured them out yet or am missing something otherwise obvious, so I'd love anyone's thoughts if am! ġ). One for Tap Tempo/Record, Play, and Dub Bypass and Hold (which freezes a recent part of the signal into a continuous playback cycle)/Stop and Erase.įor more details on Microcosm, head over to the Hologram Electronics website.I've had the Microcosm for 6 or 7 months now, and after the initial honeymoon period, there are two things that really bug me. To top it all off, there are three switches. LOOP LEVEL/FADE TIME: sets the playback volume of the phrase looper, secondary sets the loop fade time, which we won’t really be looking at. SPACE/REVERB TIME: Mixes in reverb and delay, while the secondary selects one of the four reverb modes. REPEATS/MOD DEPTH: The effect duration or frequency, while the secondary controls the pitch modulation depth. TIME/SUB DIV/TEMPO: Controls the subdivision of the effect, while the secondary option controls the global tempo, which can also be controlled with the tap-tempo switch. MIX/EFFECT VOLUME: Wet and dry control, while the secondary controls the effect master volume. SHAPE/MOD FREQ: Applies a contour to the volume or filter, while the secondary control sets the pitch modulation rate.įILTER/RESONANCE: A low-pass filter, while the secondary controls the resonance. WARP: Filtering and pitch shifting of delay patterns.ĪCTIVITY: Controls the density of the effect. TUNNEL: Drones created by cyclical micro loopers. HAZE: Clusters of grains that create a wash of sound. MOSAIC: overlapping loops playback at multiple speeds. SEQ: Short looping samples rearranged into new sequences. GLIDE: Short overlapping loops pitch shifting over time. ![]()
