a year ago, having no idea what I was doing, I Twitter DMed you about how MIDI cables worked. You responded, which was surprising. I now make shitty EDM in my underwear every night wearing cowboy hat, and it possibly saved my life/sanity during the pandemic. You, sir, you sir, are special.

Was running the MC almost exclusively on the Soma Labs Lyra-8 - the literal best pairing of two things evaarr, IMHO.... Now, i've started running IT with my Dark Microverse setup (Circuit Tracks, Nymphes, Typhon, TR-6S, KP3+, etc.... Amazingly lovely stuff coming out of there right now! And as usual, thank you so much Jeremy for a thorough and thoroughly-entertaining tour through everyone's favorite FX box of the New Millennium! 😃🙏🙏🙏🌌

Your video is so useful to anybody that has a Microcosm. Thanks Red Means Recording for making this. I see a lot of people putting effects/effect pedals before or after the Microcosm for even more tripped out sounds. I am recording drums going through it, then chopping up and sequencing glitches.

Red Means Ridiculously Excellent. Thanks for another amazing presentation, Jeremy. I've loved watching your videos for years, starting with all the stuff you did/do with the OP-1.

@CaidicusProductions Год назад

I bought a Microcosm a couple of weeks ago, and while I've played with it, there was a lot of mystery in my mind about how the knobs actually affected things. Watching you play with it in real-time has cleared up a lot for me.

@JeffBarrows 2 года назад

Awesome video as usual, thanks for all of the continued work! I like my Microcosm so much that I created a free and open Max4 Live MIDI device to interface and control it within Ableton. The device basically adds some modulation sources which help you add variation to many of the Microcosm settings (Activity, Space, Filter, Repeats, etc...) over time. Not sure I can add links here, but search youtube for MODOCOSM and you'll likely find it. I hope other Microcosm users find it helpful.

Very cool! I love my hologram microcosm and I actually use it with my guitar which seems to be rare lol even though it’s a guitar pedal first. Of course it’s great on synths and other things like you’ve displayed here. Honestly I feel the strength is in the looper. I love the looper and what you can record into it with the built in effects always sounds great and then you can change the speed of the loop which pitches it down or up which also sounds way cool especially when slowed down.

@sstrudeau 2 года назад

Perfect timing. I just traded my Morphagene for a Microcosm and have been getting to know it. I've been avoiding bringing together my in-the-box and hardware music experimentation worlds but hearing these virtual instruments through the pedal is having me rethink my studio setup.

@b4k4squared 2 года назад

Demo #2 stunned me. I didn't expect to hear any post-rock stuff here, and yet you just produced stuff that sounds like it should sit next to my Mogwai, God is an Astronaut, and Tides From Nebula album. Where do I preorder? That being said, RMR never ceases to amaze me. Now, after two years of watching your channel, I have a bunch of gear (yes, Hologram Microcosm included - if The Sponsors are reading this I'm happy to provide the proof of purchase :D), brain full of ideas, and a feeling I should be working less and doing more bleep-bloops on synths, because it's fun!

@hannesbengsch5515 2 года назад

My first thought in the second effect demo in the moment you touched the knob and with my slight perception delay. „Wow. This thing not only adds rhythm, that sounds like a decent hi hat to me too“ The Plonker part of me.

@bwest6275 2 года назад

Utterly magical.

@domingoleija3436 Год назад

@LoudPaul1 2 года назад

Not trying to be negative but am I the only one who doesn't like this pedal? I've tried it IRL a couple times and it tends to make things sound indistinct and needlessly obscured... My music isn't really reliant on lots of "texture", but even if it were I would want to have more control over that texture than this pedal can provide. The reverb in it is pretty nice, but I couldn't easily find a way to isolate just that part of it, which is what I ended up wanting to do. Anyway, if you have Ableton you can spend a few hours and make all these effects with gates, reverbs, beat repeats, pitch shifters, delays etc and put them into perfect little chains with macro controls, and save them forever and use ur midi controller on them if you really want to. Also, some aspects of the way that this company is marketing their pedal is a bit icky imo. Just my $0.02, not hating on anyone who uses this thing. Thanks for coming to my TED talk

@sstrudeau 2 года назад

depends where you land on the spectrum of "happy accident hunter" and "control freak" I guess :)

@djpuzzleofficial 2 года назад

The magic is in the looper IMO once you start layering in the looper specifically guitar layers , playing them in live with the effects in the loops and then slow/pitch it down you’ll start to find some inspiration IMO but again it’s very textural and ambient sounding.

@goerri27 2 года назад

Genuinely curious, what aspects of holograms marketing are icky? I haven't noticed anything unusual.

@GuitarGod666 Год назад

I can see where you are coming from. . . I was trying to get away from my computer so got this, but I still think in Ableton -- "I want it to do this crazy thing and feed that into whatever random thing, and then I wanna sequence the slices to blah blah blah." And this is more like a crazy ass delay pedal with a pretty awesome reverb and low pass filter.

@CaidicusProductions Год назад

I own a Microcosm, got it recently. I'm not sure good with it, yet, but I'm working on it. Anyhow, background aside, I think there's nothing wrong with your feelings towards it. Not everything will appeal to everyone, different people have different expectations. I quite like the Microcosm, I got it after months of watching videos and being specifically aware of what it does, how it excels, and what it also isn't for. That makes my expectations for the pedal quite reasonable, I guess. There are people who buy wah pedals and fuzzy pedals, or distortion pedals. I couldn't see myself buying one of those, or any of those. I don't like them at all, don't like their sound. That said, I can understand that there are others, obviously, who love those effects. Not for me, but I can see why it's for them. It's just what they want. Anyway, nice comment.

@mmckmusic 2 года назад

The Microcosm could be amazing but its issues with clicking (like the samples it generates often aren't faded appropriately) and gain sensitivity (which can be notably variable between algorithm patches and easily result in digital clipping) really take off some of the shine and lead to loads of otherwise unnecessary retakes and/or editing. Hopefully Hologram can sort these in a firmware update....

@TheMikeHaskew Год назад

So beautiful as always, thanks Jeremy. I just got the MC and love it. Do you have any advice or tutorials to point to for routing external effects with Ableton? I’m trying to use the pedal the same way you are here, but not sure how best to connect everything. Thanks!

@cal-scot Год назад

I am In bit of a predicament you could say in that regard. I've recently went DAWless (coming from a sampling background) and I now heavily lean on physical products that have a straight forward easy to use interface. My setup as it stands the now is a RC505mk2 looper, korg Mikrokorg being controlled by a keystep 37 which also controls a single NTS-1 which is linked to two PO33's. So basically my current turmoil is deciding do I get another NTS-1 and pick up a Microcosm and link them together, or do I save some cash and not bother. It is probably worth noting aswell is that a lot of the work I produce is ambient scores rather than actual tracks. Any feedback/ideas welcome

@joshjaren5408 2 года назад

Me after finally saving up enough to buy this, my first effect pedal ever, but wondering if I maybe should go Empress, or Zoia, or what if it disappoints, but that's so much money, but it's clearly chill and amazing, but how can I actually know, and... Me after seeing this video: "Yes, Universe. You are right. I will order this with no Remorse. This is the Way. Praise be to RMR. Praise be to the Way."

@darksiderahb 2 года назад

I’m in the same boat. I keep going back and forth between the Zoia and Microcosm. So much so, I’ll likely pick up both. Makes way more sense than buying more synths…😂…right?😅

Hearing the kontakt instruments through this just makes me drool even more for this treasure. Maybe I'll just sell one of his guitars and get one. Or you can give me yours. 😆 Okay. Drooled too much. Gotta go change now.

@RedMeansRecording 2 года назад

Check the manual for line vs instrument level input maybe? Fwiw I boost my output after it pretty high.

@VAKinc 2 года назад

@@RedMeansRecording I have messed with that setting. Conversely to what I'd expect, Instrument level seems to be appropriate even when taking in audio from an interface. If you also boost it, then I guess it's just kind of the nature of the beast. Thanks for the video! You really know how to give the Microcosm good material to work with. I find that if you feed it too much or have the settings going to crazy, it becomes very easy to end up with a muddy wash of noise. Proper use means finding material that is going to leave room for the Microcosm to do its thing. You've definitely got a knack for squeezing fantastic sounds out of it.

@cockur 2 года назад

It's a great sounding pedal for sure but I really wish they had just given it a BPM parameter like the Eventide pedals. Setting BPM with MIDI clock is not ideal in most situations. Oh and the placement of the filter after the reverb. A poor signal flow decision. I feel like I never use the filter for this reason - seems like a no-brainer to me
