Dangit, another month of Ramen and canned tuna.
In college I would do the all cereal diet to afford pedals haha
Kali muscle would be proud
@@collectoremitter Dude i do cereal diets all the time and im 52. its because im too tired to make anything but cereal. cereals easy to make
Lol!!! Yep. I’ve got it in the cart right now and coming back to the tube to talk myself into pulling the trigger.
I lasted a full 24 hours between watching this video and buckling and buying one. Do I win a prize?
Great processor. Plus it doubles as a chest prop if you’re dressing up as a snow trooper.
Dude your vids help me get through my cardio at the gym. You don't help my wallet lol but you inspire me to create.
Even after all these years of watching you, I still wish you had more followers . You have that rare thing : a musician who has found their own sound , with or without a pedal!
Thanks so much, that really means a lot. I’m still shocked I’ve grown this big! I feel pretty lucky to be able to share all these pedals with you all
FINALLY, Collector//Emitter dropping his debut album!
Haha, pretty much!
Great demo! Have to watch this over and over! 👏👏
Been waiting for this video from you...well done!
I’ve been wanting this one for awhile. Definitely a must have once I can afford it
You are without a doubt, one of the most unique guitar players I've heard in a long time.
Thanks for sharing. I just found your channel and like the demo of this pedal. It brings out the sound of your ambient guitar really well. Of course, it really soars because of the input you gave it.
Thanks for what is, so far, the best deep dive I've seen on this pedal. My order for September is in.
It's fair to say that you match the aesthetics/heart of every pedal perfectly in your videos. Seamlessly beautiful. If I wouldn't own the Microcosm already I would buy it just because of this video.
Thanks so much! I spend a lot of time trying to learn the pedals and not just force my sound onto them. Glad you enjoyed it!
@@collectoremitter You can definitely hear that!
Hello. I'm on the fence about buying one of these. Would you say it's worth the price tag? Thanks
Really well done vid and playing, I bought one because of your work here. Thx
it's the most beautiful pedal test I've ever heard.
Interrupt mode is basically Bon Iver in a box. Love this
Million thanks for this wonderful review. It truly is the best demonstration of this pedal I have seen...and I think I have seen them all !
Sounds amazing!
i really like your vids man. you seem like youre a cool guy
great demo, thank you!
One of the best demos of this unit so far
Thanks, I really appreciate it!
Interrupt sounds interesting. The other settings seem to produce the sort of music you get to hear when the bank puts you on hold.
Ambient music is only ever a distortion pedal way from being exciting.
But no, really, ambient textures like this pedal creates are always best as part of a whole. These New Age-sounding demos are just the clearest way to show off what they do, the real value is adding these tones as additional layers in songs. Or, again, making experimental shoegaze by running them through fucktons of fuzz, a la Lovesliescrushing.
Really would like one of these, having trouble timing cash availability with a purchase, I am a patient man however and will succeed in acquiring one of thes magical sound boxes. Thanks for the review/overview of this fantastic pedal. I almost hate to call it a "pedal" as it is so versatile and deep, I can't wait to put one on my setup.
Amazing! I already bought a Mood largely thanks to your demo, now the itch for one of these is setting in... Please keep the inspiration coming!
Beautiful sounds, beautiful playing.
Would love to see you use this with your omnichord
Oh crap nvm looks like you already did! Gotta check it out
Great stuff
Just what I’m looking for, new sounds
Very tasteful review video
Next buy for sure.
Fire
I just wanted to say that, as a microcosm owner myself, I loved listening to this while I was writing a text. I was writing about the oceans and nature preservation and this was a perfect match. Thank you!
Hi I could not give this a thumbs up today. It's 11/11 and you have 111 likes. Your last post was 11 hours ago. Hope you understand. Great video's thanks so much!!
Finally a thorough review with all the info AND beautiful playing! Slowly nudging me over the price-threshold… One question: I think the ARP mode on this is amazing and I agree that the bit crushed ones add a great texture. I wonder though if there are multiple variations of the arpeggiated sequences? Are they always the same pattern or are they completely random?
WOW.
I guess I would run this after the infinite jets. I’m thinking Enzo->infinite jets->microcosm. I need a small pedal board to go before my conventional effects board. I can’t fit my Enzo and infinite jets on my main board and this looks about the size of the jets, which is big. I guess I need a separate board for these unique effects that like to be first in the chain. I have so many pedals I feel like I need a separate board for each effect
Thumbs up for Slowdive !
There it is!! I’ll take out the pop corn for this one! 😀
It's a long one! haha, hope you enjoyed it
@@collectoremitter I did!! Thank you! Great work!
beautiful. typing this before actually watching the video because i know it is
Haha, thanks so much!
@@collectoremitter :)
how do I connect an apollo twin x to the Microcosm pedal in order to get sound ?
This is the best demo / tutorial I’ve seen for this pedal. Are you using a nice
How does your guitar sound so clean and noise free here?
When i notice these kind of pedals i come here to see if it is tested like it should be.
Has anyone done a review of this thing with a distorted guitar yet? Or, has anyone tried using it in a metal track?
This is incredibly nice. Well done! I find the Microcosm to be a bit obtuse on guitar but I think I have found some good starting points here.
It can be a little tricky to dial in some of the modes, and it's a lot to learn them all. Glad this was helpful!
Need a mood vs particle 2 vs microcosm.
I want all three 😭😭😭
Particle 2 barely holds a candle to microcosm. Mood is pretty different, wouldn’t think of it as a contender for the same place
Waiting for next govt stimulus to buy this one 🤣
Haa with Moscow Mitch you’l be waiting a while 😩
I waiting for the same
I am being informed you can opt for guitar effects if you don’t want the standard stimulus package.
Done
@@riananthony haha nice one
This was great...can you do it again in stereo?
I prefer to only do stereo demos if the stereo is a key part of the pedal, for a few reasons. Most people only play in mono, so it gives them an idea as well, and I'm also not set up to record two amps at once which means my stereo demos are direct with an amp sim
hi! wanted to ask how heavy the package was because I plan on ordering one as well but I dont know if itll meet the weight requirement for my shipping
would it be difficult to live loop with this? i wanted to pair it with my rc10r. & can i record this straight into my DAW? thank you sm if anyone helps me out
The looper is simple to use, and pretty easy to play with the effects. It should work nicely in a rig like that, but I’m not too familiar with the RC20R
Can someone please share the chords at 18:56?
I read a story somewhere, maybe it was Joel Korte himself, saying that he is a good friend with Jason Campbell and that one day they were both talking about this pedal idea and that both ideas sounded very similar, we know them now as Microcosm and Blooper, so they decided to never talk about it and see how both final products gonna be and seems like they are not so similar after all, what do you think?
I do remember hearing that, I think knobs said that somewhere. But in the end, I think they're very different. On paper, they're both loopers with glitchy pitch effects, but Blooper is way more focused on the loop and then mangling that loop, and Microcosm is really about the effects to me, and. then the looper and reverb build on top of that
Anyone know how this sounds when used with distortion?
It sounds great! Make sure you update to the newer firmware (if you buy one now it should ship with that) because that lets it handle those hotter signals a bit better
I’ll be watching this like 🤓🧐
Is this in any way comparable to the nightsky? They both sound superb
They both are amazing in their own way, limitless possibilities!
I'd say the similarities stop at the very basic description (reverb with pitch modes, and pitch pedal with reverb). This is much more focused on the glitch and granular effects, while the NightSky is a reverb first and has those extra pitch controls in a small way
Great ! Would it be interesting and cool to use with electric violin ?
Absolutely! That would be very cool
Yvette young did it not long ago , guitar + electric violin
Thx for this....cool 🎼
I need this because @2:26
Great video! What's your signal path? Do you run the microcosm before or after the amp?
Thanks! Here the Microcosm is my only pedal in from of the amp
Can anyone attest to the microcosm vs Mood?
Mood is wayyyy better IMO. I’m about to get rid of my Microcosm, it never finds itself in my music. Mood finds its way, in so many unique ways. It also just has a better core sound, IMO. Mood is a must have.
Sounds amazing! Is there any reason to have both this and an Infinite Jets? Other than using both at the same time... well I guess I answered my own question. Both it is!
I’ve honestly never played an Infinite Jets. I do think there’s a lot of crossover though, so maybe Microcosm is the way to go
@@collectoremitter Thanks for the reply! Yes I think you're right about the crossover and also about getting Microcosm first and maybe Jets later.
I have an infinite jets and I love it. I really want this one. I can’t wait to hear how they sound together. The only drawback is the size of the pedals.
This or Night Sky?
Hello, do you think if you had a microcosm you don't need a SLO cause u can make the same ambiant reverb sound ? greetigs from France
Microcosm does have reverb which is very nice but very simple. Having a separate reverb will also be nicer
@@collectoremitter ok so my pedalborad will be a 1000$ one :D
How may I use only reverb and filter on their own ?
If you turn down Activity and Repeats, you’ll hear less of the current effect. The way I did it in the clip in this demo was set the effect to pattern delay, set the time really fast, and then you have basically just the reverb, filter, and modulation
@@collectoremitter Thanks for your answer !
I asked Hologram too and there's an easier way finally : long press on Phrase looper then select the Looper Only mode. In this mode we can use reverb, modulation and filter on their own.
Neptune - Foals
Hi there ! This Microcosm effect is only for keyboards ? Or can i use it with my electric guitar ???
you can use it with your guitar!
You can definitely use your guitar! I'm using guitar for this full video
@@collectoremitter Really? I had no idea 💡.....
Ohh man.. I came here to see how to use the microcosm. Now im crying because my girlfried doenst see any chance in our relationship. Your sound your guitarplaying is very inspirational and beautiful. Thanks man. You gave me nice flashbacks to the relationship. I still love here so much😢❤
Does somebody know any VSTs which do the same?
Is this video in mono?
Yes
I think this would sound better on synths than guitar
or at least, make the guitar less twangy sounding.
I think there was a conscious decision to leave the guitar’s signal mostly clean going into the microcosm. Easier to hear the nuances of the algorithms.
Wow, so this is literally just the pedal? No other effects?
Yes, it’s a demo of what the pedal can do
Some players can actually make the microcosm sound boring... damn, congratulations
It's strange, on my unit the effects level and overall output of the Microscosm is quite low. Despite having mix at least at 80, filter open, activity up to 100 %. Of course on instrument level with guitar. Did a firmware upgrade, not really changing much. Do you have a booster after the Microcosm?
The secondary control of the mix knob lets you change the output volume including a bit of a boost from unity. That must be the difference
@@collectoremitter Thank you very much, I'll try that!
@@collectoremitter Thanks, that solved the problem. Very happy with the pedal now! (Should have read the manual more thoroughly 🙈)
unfortunately, for now it has a lot of quirks. mentioned them on reverb. the main one: you cannot switch an engine while your saved loop is playing, switching stops it. the latest I found: when you made a loop and switching the mode to pre-fx (so your record becomes a foundation for new layer of effect), you cannot record it via overdub for some reason. it would be huge feature fo live performances. it's nice, but really waiting for new firmwares. when you realize it could be twice better having some little tweaks, it's a bummer.
At least using the V2 firmware I can definitely change effects while a loop plays. The only thing which STOPS the loop is if I go into the user preset section.
@@Eliguitar1 It's 1.1 :) And yeah, according to rumors 1.0 was awful at tracking. But when you cannot switch an engine while having a loop you saved - it's is a problem, no actual reason for such a limiting behavior. And there's a lot more. Hope Hologram will take care of their product.
@@Eliguitar1 just reread your reply. yeah, as I said, the problem with saved loops, preset section is intended.
Sorry but havent heard a demo that makes me want to play guitar through this thing - including this one - 25:46 maybe
I just hear beautiful sounds.... no songs.
Hear me out, beautiful sounds ARE songs
@@collectoremitter exactly... they're what I like to call "random impressions" :)
Speaking as a classical musician, art is all about line. These are very artistic sketches representing a very impressive array of sounds.
Never review a stereo pedal in mono.
Beautiful tone but super mono sounding :/
That’s because it’s recorded in mono
Is this a mono pedal? Except perhaps the Mosaic mode, it's more of a gimmick, not very musical. I would recommend HEDRA and ENZO instead.
It's stereo in/stereo out. I was just using it in mono
A pitty this video is mono
