The long awaited Hologram Electronics Microcosm is here.
This is a run through of the 11 effect types that this pedal offers, recorded in stereo. Each effect has 4 variations, so you will find a total of 44 preset sounds in this video. This is not a demonstration of every single feature of this pedal. Microcosm is a deep device so I will be breaking features up into multiple videos. Subscribe to see them all as they are released.

Very nicely done! My kind of demo; no talking, no blues licks, just turn knobs and feel it out, well done! About the pedal itself; Most of these sound pretty cool, but tbh some modes feel very similar, just minor variations on a theme.. Also makes me think many of these sounds can probably be recreated quite easily on ZOIA! Nothing wrong with that, the hands-on knobs found here is definitely something I'm missing on ZOIA sometimes..
@MAXDECAY
@MAXDECAY 4 года назад
Appreciate the kind words! I definitely feel that. You pretty much nailed it with the hands-on thing. It's really nice to have this super easy and intuitive box and free up ZOIA to serve other purposes (of which I'm sure you know, there are so many).

A very cool demo of a very cool pedal. Unfortunately, I don't see how it could be used practically in a live setting, but I'm sure you could paint multiple soundscapes in the studio with it. I would like to have heard it with some different sounds - I think you just used the neck pickup on your strat - (and very delicately at that) - but I'm sure the pedal would react differently with different pickup positions, and perhaps a little distortion?
@MAXDECAY
@MAXDECAY 4 года назад
Thanks for your feedback! I would suggest trying one for yourself to see how you would like to use it. I have live performance ideas in mind myself. I averaged about 1:20 per preset to keep the video under an hour and the idea was to show what it sounds like on its own. I'll have individual effects video coming going more in depth. Maybe I'll even turn on a little distortion!
@60SecondsofSomaCosmos

This is so comprehensive and informative - many, many thanks. I was just wondering, in your opinion, to what extent stereo is an essential part of this pedal. I’ve listened to your demo through headphones and wasn’t sure which effects really utilised stereo imaging/panning etc.
@MAXDECAY
@MAXDECAY 4 года назад
Appreciate the feedback and I'm glad it helps! The stereo thing is definitely subjective and I haven't done an A/B comparison, but I do catch little sounds bouncing back and forth on some settings and that makes all the difference to me personally. From 10:00-11:00 of this video is a good example of that. I would imagine the stereo reverb image is much wider too but have not tested that yet. Many more videos to come!

Could you explain how to control the Microcosm with a midi controller? I have an Akai LPD8 and use Ableton and Logic. I'd like to have the Microcosm on the ground (so I can use the Microcosm foot switches) and map the knobs/buttons to a midi controller and/or have the microcosm on my desk (and map the Microcosm foot switches to a midi Footswitch controller). I know it can be done, I just can't figure how to do it. I reckon there'll be lots of people interested in this...

I just pre-ored one of the second batches of the microcosm. I have the Zoia, Cooper FX Arcades, Outward V2, Tensor. I sold the Particle V2, because I felt like they would over lap completely. Does anyone that has any of those pedals and this? Do you feel like they overlap? I have been trying to downsize. With the Zoia, and Arcades I have definitely been able to sell off some old favorites, because they have been duplicated on those pedals.

This demo is so musical. So many of the little pieces of music you make here could easily be used as loops in, or foundation for songs. Maybe release this or some of these as a collection of samples that others can remix? However, much of this video as it is, is great as background music for whatever else I'm doing right now. My only critique is that you make it seem so easy to play this thing. I've seen a few "wtf?" videos on it to know that for many this pedal leaves a lot of aching scratch marks in their head and everlasting deep furrows. Your video however makes me seriously consider jumping the cliff and go for this as a solution to my quandary and query for glitch and bitcrush, randomness. I've been thinking about getting the Red Panda Tensor, Montreal Assembly Count to 5 or maybe the ChaseBliss Blooper. The last one scares me a bit as I'm worried that I will find it confusing and hard to learn. Probably same thing goes for Count to 5 but that one seems like a sort of "Whatever happens happens" hard to control lucky accidents pedal anyway. The Microcosm is really tempting and also even though not exactly cheap it can still be considered bang for the bucks as it offer so much. But as I am a bit ashamed that I haven't explored my Eventide space enough to justify having such a professional pedal in my possession, I am worried and wonder if my impatience with programing will mean that a Microcosmos on me would mean even more pearls before swine.
@MAXDECAY
@MAXDECAY 4 года назад
That's such a nice compliment. Definitely been thinking about how to go about doing something like that. I haven't seen these other videos of people having issues with the pedal but I suppose one thing I could say (and this goes for any pedal really), that you need to work WITH the pedal as opposed to playing some blues licks and expecting it to transform that into something amazing. All of the pedals you mentioned are wonderful. The microcosm, to me, seems like the most intuitive of the bunch. I'm sure the size of the pedal helps to achieve that, as the others you mentioned are all compact. I love the sound of the Eventide Space, but I don't deal with digital displays and menu diving on pedals too well (ZOIA has been a huge exception, as it is much more than a guitar pedal). There's not any "programming" to be done on microcosm other than saving loops and presets which is completely optional. I feel like the Microcosm gives the perfect amount of information and feedback. You can just scroll through the effects until you find something cool, maybe tap a tempo in, dial in the reverb, freeze it, play with the filter. It's very inspiring and easy to work with.
@jonaseggen2230
@jonaseggen2230 4 года назад
@@MAXDECAY Thank you. That was a good reply. Your comment about blues licks made me laugh. In my language we have a term for what we call guitar wanking witch is close to what that sounds like. I work with synths and eurorack but don't like menuediving and multiple button press combinations that much so I tend to go for several simpler modules and make a mess with cables rather than using compex computers. Zoia makes sense though as it has the same logic and functions as a modular synthesizer. Also It's an Empress and seems to me that all they make is gold and really well thought out and tested. So thanks again, I will probably follow the rabbit then : )
@MAXDECAY
@MAXDECAY 4 года назад
@@jonaseggen2230 You get it then :) To me Microcosm sounds like what you want - it feels well sectioned into distinct areas and no menus to deal with. Only takes a couple minutes to familiarize. Yeah, Empress really nailed it with ZOIA. First time I've ever not been overwhelmed by an onboard menu screen. They kept it really simple and think the blocks giving a clear visual representation of what you're working on as opposed to the screen alone is a big part of it.

@jonaseggen2230 4 года назад
@@MAXDECAY Zoia is probably part on an Illuminati conspiracy to tempt guitar players into the hell of modular synthesis. I don't find it strange at all that loads of former heavy dark metal heads are into synths really. This band Black widow where onto something when using sweet folk to scare the shit out of or lure lost souls into their web, but synths or "real" instruments with certain pedals can be well as tempting. ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-lEmALYV72sc.html

So I’m a very new beginner in production and electric music. is this a looper too? How does it gather sound? Is it only electrically with things plugged in? Like how would you get sound from a mic or acoustic guitar or anything of the like. Is it simply a guitar pedal I’m thinking too hard about?
@MAXDECAY
@MAXDECAY 2 года назад
Yes, it is a looper as well! I have another video demonstrating the looper alone. It gathers sound from this input jack. Whatever you plug into that will be processed. It is just like any other guitar pedal, so however you normally connect a mic would be the same.

Hello @@MAXDECAY thanks for the video, I just hope the next Microcosm videos will have less or no reverb at all because that doesn't help to understand each effect on the sound we're hearing. I know it sounds nicer with reverb, creating bigger atmospheres for sure but it's less comprehensive for didactic videos like yours, sure you see what I mean. And for the dry/wet control, you put it more wet than dry, not at 50% (knob at 12 o'clock): is it because you wanted us to hear more the effect than the original guitar sound coming into the pedal? As for the reverb I think it could be nice for your next Microcosm videos to put this knob at 50% to hear the effect as much as the original guitar sound being treated by the pedal. I wanted to tell you all that via private message but it seems impossible. Cheers :)

Could the pedal do a basic reverse delay and tape delay type sounds. And varispeed loops? (pitch with speed) Mostly interested in board space, of course mainly for the granular swells. My ehx hazarai is partly broken, so it would be cool if it were a full upgrade. Though perhaps a separate tape delay too.
@MAXDECAY
@MAXDECAY 4 года назад
Reverse delay, yes. Watch that in the @collector//emitter video at around 32:00 here: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-qT-IDpx9jxQ.html For changing the speed of loops, I go over that in my Microcosm Looper video here: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-za8Q2TzEHC8.html

I believe the Microcosm is stereo while the Mood is not. The Mood is extremely versatile and is more of a blank canvas to explore while it seems the Microcosm gives you more preset options as starting points to jump from. I’m still hunting one down personally. Great demo here!

So I’ve been trying to make sure the microcosm is capable of doing a simple sample/hold. (As in you hit a chord/note and it keeps playing that chord or note until a new one is played to re trigger the hold) Not like a freeze but something like the EHX Canyons or Red Panda Particles ability to sample/hold. I use this a lot and all the variation present here is cool but I need to make sure it can do the basics

MAX DECAY something like this: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-V79LCmEf804.html Basically grabs a small loop set by the time setting and repeats it until triggered again by input. No variations just over and over until triggered again. It looks like it can do this but there’s always some variation? Even reading the manual it’s not clear to me if this can be achieved.

Just recieved mine and thanks for the demo ! Haven't had the time to really explore it yet, and it looks great, but anyone else experience a down drop in the volume when going 100% wet mix ? Even with the "effet volume" set to maximum ? And also a huge loss in high frequencies, also with 100% wet mix ?
@MAXDECAY
@MAXDECAY 4 года назад
My pleasure. My experience is that if you are using a setting with low activity and repeats it's going to be quieter than if you have something with more activity going, repeats building up, etc. I've found that the output peaks at almost the exact same level as my dry signal.
@tromal217
@tromal217 4 года назад
@@MAXDECAY Thanks for your response. I agrea with what you said, maybe it's when there's low activity. But the lost in the high frequencies are real on my unit.. I'have encountered other problems like the mix knob is not continuous, when i go full wet and then to dry very slow, there's drop when sounds appears. Do you have that ? And also, most of the effects seems to have problems to deal with continuous sounds. Like when i try to apply effects on drones, I have no sound at all very often.. but when i play notes it works.. I dunno if it's the same for you. I also have some clicks and unwanted sound when moving knobs.. I'll think i'll write to them to know ! Great pedal other than that, but I hope i'll find a solution for those issues..

@@tromal217 Definitely let them know! I haven't noticed the drop in high frequencies myself. I like to run it with the filter partially on anyway so maybe we have different experiences. No noise issues on my end. I have had the same thing a few times where it didn't seem to trigger when I was playing continuously at a constant level into it. I'd have to test the mix volume jumps but I use that knob a lot and it never stuck out to me.

Exceptional Demo. A tough question: In your opinion, would many of the individual features of the Microcosm, be able to be emulated on the Zoia? If so, would they sound as good, or do you think they've really nailed it with the Microcosm...certainly sounds like it.
@MAXDECAY
@MAXDECAY 4 года назад
That is a great question. Yes, a lot of the individual effects could be recreated. Could a lot of them sound as good? Yes. Would the effects be as easy to use and tweak in a live setting? No. Some of the combinations of things you can do with Microcosm wouldn't be possible with only ZOIA (think, using the looper to record a Mosaic loop, switch to Haze and record another loop, then an interrupt layer, etc., all while running through an ambient reverb and filter). At the same time, ZOIA does so many things that Microcosm doesn't. Two different monsters. I personally am going to run them side by side.

Thus having two loops going at the same time with two different effects ?

@@MAXDECAY Actually noise floor refers to the noise that is inherent in the pedal that is not the intended noise. Basically White Noise Gremlins that exist due to a pedals DSP rating for this (I forget the exact term for this...fci??). So it's actually inherent when you're playing or not and I can hear it when I go direct both ways. But I got a email back from infinite Jets and it was very detailed explaining how the microcosm has a new DSP chip that has a lower noise floor then the infinite Jets. This is actually been a great learning experience about noise for for me and they gave me a great explanation. Basically the new one is quieter than the old one.
