![]() When you put several delay lines on top of each other, and the more they are repeated, they create new and increasingly complex rhythms until you reach complete chaos. While Repeats controls the number of times each press is heard. Turning up the activity increases the number of “cranes” or delay lines. A simple example of this would be in the pattern effect, which is a rhythmic delay with several presses. They are also very interactive – that is, changes you make in Activity can affect the way the Repeats control behaves. In short, they are macro controls that are not mapped to a specific parameter, and instead control a number of things depending on the effect you have selected. “In general, Activity gives you” more “or” less “of what each preset does, and Repeats controls how long the effect lasts.” The manual breaks it down pretty well, though: (You can access the secondary controls in light gray by holding down the Shift button.) I say relatively because, while it’s pretty obvious what “mix” does, the “Activity” and “Repeat” controls are a bit vague. The eight knobs on the left all have relatively clear primary and shift functions. These lights also show value levels, the direction of audio playback and are how to navigate the global menu. Each effect lights up when selected, and the four lights above the center footswitch (which turns the pedal on and off) indicate which particular preset of the effect you have selected. The single encoder on the right navigates through the various presets. There are a number of buttons, lights and knobs on the front that may seem a little intimidating at first, but it’s easy to figure things out once you get started. (This turned out to be a real gift from my power supply to the cheap pedal board introduced a lot of noise.) On the plus side, the Hologram Electronics includes a power adapter in the box, which almost no pedal manufacturers make anymore. This is quite unusual on synths and other guitar pedals and means you may need a TRS to dual TS cable to connect your equipment. ![]() My only complaint here is that the stereo input is a single TRS connector as opposed to separate right and left. Trigger CC29 to return to phrase playback.Įrases the Overdub Layer but retains the initial phrase.Around the back you will find the necessary audio inputs and outputs, along with 5-pin MIDI in and out / through, and an expression pedal jack. This action will end playback but retain the recording for recall. You can infinitely record on top of your looped phrase by adding to the Overdub Layer. Simply switching presets will reset the global tempo to the quantized loopâs tempo while this mode is active, re-syncing the effect and loop tempos. When the Phrase Looper is set to Quantize, Microcosm will trim your loop to the nearest beat in order to synchronize the loop to the effect tempo.Įffect subdivision can be changed freely while Quantize mode is active, but if the global tempo changes, the effect and loop will no longer be in sync. Phrases recorded in Burst mode will not be saved within User Presets unless Burst is deselected after recording. Mix allows you to blend back and forth.Ġ-63: Looper & Effects 64-127: Looper Onlyīurst allows for the creation of fast, one-layer loops. ![]() Pitch Modulation, Reverb, and Filter remain active in Looper Only mode.
