Do...do ya'll realise you made like...one of the best pedals ever...like ever?
You have truly created a modern classic, this pedal will be revered for years to come! 👏
I'll buy you guys as much coffee needed to get this next August batch out ASAP!
This video just sold me... I have to have this thing.
I have had this since May and I am just...blown away.
The world needs this as an eurorack module. ❤️
Would revolutionize effects in the eurorack world. I have one coming. I use the Strymon AA.1 in my eurorack to use my guitar pedals. Would be so much better to have a dedicated module
Would be absolute 💙 There is plenty of options i found like Bastl Softpop2, folktek Alter X/Y or Zoia empress with that in mind.
It’s really just clouds with preset modulation
Such an awesome pedal , I’ve barely scratched the surface of its creativity, great demo thanks
What an awesome video! More of these 😊 Good job!
Nice to (finally) see a video which explains some of the settings/features so clearly.....
Microcosm arrived yesterday and I absolutely love it! Although, it can be a bit overwhelming trying to understand how it all works. Thank you for this video.. it really helped a lot!
Superb! I love mine so so much. Favorite pedal ever and the only one I've ever pre-ordered! Well worth it.

Very good demo, helps me already starting on my just received Microcosm. 😊
Thanks for these tutorial videos - super helpful 👌🏼
These videos are very helpfull. I mean fidling around on MC without a plan is already great, but getting a bit more structured is where the journey shall go. Thanks for that!
So cool!
This seems a super cool Loooper PLUS! 4 loop looper. Cool FX. I am into esoteric ambient. Curious if this might do the random note playback generator similar to the Cosmos? That fresh newness happening in the background... versus a repeating loop.... would be AWESOME!!!
What a wonderful and immersive pedal. In looper mode, are you able to adjust loop feedback so the loop will naturally fade out?
I wish all tutorials were like this
THis is awesome, how many seconds of looping and layers does it hjave?
This is awesome, however I still can't figure out how to use the FADE TIME feature. Even at it's shortest setting, the overdubs seem to go on forever.....Can you offer any insights?
please, make it possible to bind «pre-fx» to the looped part only, letting the instrument signal to be dry.
yeah I wonder why there's no "post-fx" mode
@@ckrug32 one of those pretty much easy to fix thing they don't like to fix, as we can see. overall nice pedal with lots of micro dealbreakers. meanwhile, CBA Blooper gets more and more new buyers with its new firmwares and features. maybe, just maybe they got lots of orders and no time to fulfill them. Once the hype goes down, they'll introduce a new firmware that changes everything and cash reviewers up.
@@jat5am fingers crossed!
Wait, do you mean you can’t play your guitar signal over the loop? Like it can’t just accept a dry signal and keep like that?
@@the92project in pre-fx mode, when you prefer to manipulate the loop"s sound on the fly, no, you can't. everything's wet. you can set mix to 0, but it will make both your loop and your instrument completely dry. without pre-fx your loop plays the way it was recorded, so you can't just kike filter it out with an expression pedal. leave them an email in case you don't like it.
I’ve had mine for months and didn’t know it recorded. I only used it for 2 days because I thought it was a trippy reverb. Are there any videos showing how to set up recording and what mode to be in?
What happens to the tempo when you set a loop? Do effects auto adjust to be in time with the loop since you can't tap in tempos anymore?
Great sound. How many layers does it have? Thanks)
Up to a minute recording
I need help understanding how I can use the looper options in conjunction with each other. How does looper only and pre fx work together?
Can u record your voice into Microcasm with the looper
Is it possible to apply effect only to the looped section? The idea is to apply effect only to the looped section and then play a dry signal over the wet loops! Is it possible?
Is there a way to play over a loop created with the microcosm drowned in fx without having the new signal affected by said fx? I'm thinking it might work if after creating the loop I'd change the effect to one of the multidelay algorithms and turning repeats and activity all the way down?
You could either just turn the Mix all the way down, or put it in Looper Only mode. Hope that helps!
Does it still output the effects in stereo in the phrase looper mode? Other pedals like the volante are limited to mono when using the looper mode.
Yes, the effects remain in stereo in Phrase Looper mode.
volante's mono is the huge dealbreaker. it's a shame for strymon to promote it as a stereo pedal with almost no mentions about this drawback.
How to get out of the Burst mode 😂
I feel like I'm stuck in there for the rest of my life 😂😂😂
ok, confusing demo. Right at the top only using the looper only (not pre fx looper) it seems like you can add fx after recording but this is not possible...Am I right? try to find a way to do it and could not, unless of course I use the pre fx mode on looper. Is something wrong with my microcosm?
I'm not sure if this answers your question, but the only way to add FX after recording is to have the Phrase Looper in Pre-FX mode. The FX can't be recorded back into the loop, however.
If the looper is exclusively configured in Looper Only, the independent FX will not be added after the loop has been recorded. Reverb would only be present if it was turned up while you were recording the loop. However, if you are in both Looper Only and Pre-Fx, the independent FX will be added to the loop when Mix is turned up. In the Looper Only section of this video, it is in both Looper Only and Pre-FX modes.
If this does not answer your question, please email us at support@hologramelectronics.com. Thanks!
How am I ever supposed to wrap my head around this thing without pausing the creative process to reference the manual 😂
the phrase looper don't sync perfectly with a external clock... in a few repetitions it goes out of sync on and on... Am I doing something wrong or its a bug?
Can the looper be set to fade out instead of stopping abruptly?
Yeah! "Fade Time" is the secondary control of the Loop Level knob. If you hold Shift and turn the Loop Level knob up, it will increase the fade time of the loop. You can configure Microcosm to either fade in, fade out, or fade in and fade out in the Global Configuration menu.
@@HologramElectronics thank you :)
Is it possible to use a reverse effect with the looper?
watch the video
so what is the difference between looper only and pre-fx then? 🤔
looper only doesnt have fx beyond filter/reverb/pitch mod, so none of the wild effects of the microcosm on the rotary knob
It's not a pedal it's a whole studio in a box
My GAS is on fire
I've usedloopers for over 10 years. This is the first one that has made it next to impossible to record a phrase...in time...exit that phrase and have it play back in time. It doesnt do sequential loops so it's a toy for little boys playing at home and has little to no use on a stage
Sure would be great if someone would tell me how to get out of Phrase Looper mode. Do I need a Computer Science degree? Spent 4 hours trying to figure out finally just put pedal away. Ultra annoying!
To exit the Phrase Looper, you press the Phrase Looper button
I really wanted this video to be better. I don’t need a break down of every single feature, that’s what the manual is for. What I need is a simple step by step guide of how create loops.
The videos starts doing this then gets distracted by showing off features, rather than the workflow.
Also rotating the unit around by 90 degrees makes this unwatchable on a phone.
I love the product but some better training material would be great.
