Hologram Microcosm: Phrase Looper Overview 

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

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.

Up to a minute recording

You could either just turn the Mix all the way down, or put it in Looper Only mode. Hope that helps!

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.

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!

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 :)

watch the video

looper only doesnt have fx beyond filter/reverb/pitch mod, so none of the wild effects of the microcosm on the rotary knob
