I have an Apollo rack unit from Universal Audio as my audio interface and it’s fantastic the quality of the included plug-ins, they sound so good and the sound is so hardware-like, I couldn’t ask for more in a way. Until a few days ago my dream was to get a Tascam Portastudio 414 MKII and it’s amazing that a soft-synths company called Robotic Bean has reproduced one and at such a low price, it sounds really great and I can’t wait to try it out.
MICROCOSM PEDAL SOFTWARE
What software do you wish was hardware and vice versa? UAD Plugins MacBook, midi keyboard and Beyerdynamic headphones 4. What setup do you bring on holiday/tour/commute etc.?ĭuring vacations I try not to think too much about music, but I always have with me my laptop with many vst, a small two octave midi keyboard by Korg and my Beyerdynamic heaadphones. Definitely changing over time is natural, so I would never want to have a “definitive kit”, especially when you start working on something new, changing something is a good way to be more creative. Many times I’ll throw in my Boss RE-20 Space Echo as well. Red Panda Particle, Hologram Electronics Microcosm and Eventide Space I’m putting everything in it, from guitars to vocals and so on. I’m using this combo heavily for my next record. Hard to answer, but if I think of a “perfect effects kit” I say the trio Particle, Microcosm and Space. Do you have an ‘almost’ perfect bit of kit? What would you change?Īh… I think that easily changes over time. It’s a pleasure to play with it anytime when you’re looking for the right filtering for your sound. I love it because it’s so big and easy to use. I really like the filter “cutoff” knob on my Minimoog Voyager. Favourite knob/fader/switch on a piece of gear and why? Moog Cutoff filter
MICROCOSM PEDAL SERIES
Fill-in the blanks on what you love.but three pedals in this series would get you exactly the same effects, and more, as Microcosm.1. If I was going to setup my own Microcosm chain for synths.I personally would pick a stereo looper (Boss makes a few, or Pigtronix Infinity), followed by a granular stereo delay (Particle V2, or Tensor V2 to name two), followed by a lush verb (Specular Temups, Rooms, Bigsky). Or a bines the phrase looper with a beautiful reverb.alas also mono only. I might suggest a Blooper, because you can seriously manipulate the phrase loops, albeit its mono only.

The Microcosm is really just a combination of three pedals.looper, granular delay, and reverb. To that end.putting ANY looper pedal (stereo if you want to match a Microcosm, and use with synths) in front of any granular delay pedal and reverb is going to get you there. I'll be running synths/drum macines through it.Īny other suggestions would be much appreciated.I'd say the main thing about the Microcosm is its ability to capture a phrase loop.and then manipulate that loop in various ways, whilst adding a lush reverb and time effects. So I'm wondering what other options there are out there. I've been trying to get hold of a Hologram Microcosm with very little success recently. Fairfield in general is awesome for warm sounding weirdness.Ĭritter and Guittari Organelle is a smorgasbord of digital weirdness It just ads random modulation and also contains a lpg which sounds pretty warm. Crispy crunchyįairfield Circuitry Shallow Water is pretty weird but subtle and not super flexible. Can be glassy and sweet or add some crunch and gritĭedalo FX A57 Aliaser - sample rate reduction controlled by an envelope follower. Solidgoldfx Oblivion - Great sounding flanger with 3 modes, each with their own degrade/lofi options. Can get really glitchy and digital sounding (even tho it's analog) or act like a tremelo with the freq being modulated by the envelope.
MICROCOSM PEDAL MOD
Lastgasp Art Laboratories Tone Mosaique-sort of a ing mod with an envelope follower, which responds really well to synths. Can sound really fat and metallic in a good way It's a PLL/Fuzz pedal, but I dont fully understand the pll part. Industrialectric Generator- another fuzz that is kinda hard to dial in, but can be so varied that I always find a sound I like. You can set various intervals that will be "reaynthesized" (not sure of correct terminology) an octave below and an octave up from your input signal, all with independently controllable levels I'm a recovering pedal addict and really like using the weird stuff for making leads or drums more interestingīeetronics Swarm is super weird and synthy, but needs a low input to work properly, so I always use a reamp with it.
