Regarding the triggering issue - yes, there is one, but you can work with it (though it could bite you in a live situation I guess).
At the time I think the wait was 10 days and that was when it shipped AFAIR - there was no significant additional delay (apart from HMRC that is!). I like supporting small, innovative companies and I don't mind waiting, I've just been in scenarios before with other companies where 2 months became 6 months, etc. The website has said a limited batch will be ready to ship mid Feb, now it just says Feb 2021. I am about to place a preorder, Im just curious - after seeing the popularity of the pedal - how long Ill be on the waiting list. But I'd like to know what went wrong with it. And WOW - yes - this is what I first experienced. I bought it from them (through Reverb) and was about ready to ask them for a return or to try another one, when I tried doing the complete factory reset routine (I had tried the settings reset previously). My memory of the initial session faded, and it seemed to me like the damn thing just sucked. Sometimes a little more, but the various knobs did virtually nothing. Volume was so low at 100% wet that it was basically unusable. But sometimes after fiddling with input levels, etc, i'd get just a little result, but it was so faint as to be totally boring. Most of the time, turning the mix knob to fully wet would just give me nothing at all. I had to try and try to get even the slightest effect from it. And it just worked great.Īt some point, the damn Microcosm just pretty much stopped working.
While the double knot has a very strong sound, I think, it can use some fucked up processing to really bring it alive in another way. I got it for use with synths and violin, and i first tried it with the double knot, and got spectacular results. My initial reaction was extremely positive. Wonder if anyone else has had the following issue with the Microcosm? I can't say exactly when this 's possible that it started after I sent it midi controllers - maybe something 'stuck' in its settings somewhere? I'd only wish the filter would be switchable to HPF and that there would have been two or three reverb modes. I played with it now a couple of times and did always find something useful. Unfortunately this is something that is really hard to tell just by looking at great-sounding demos, because I don't know how much intention (and intervention) from the musician there's in the process. But I'm afraid I won't be able to make it sound like "I" want: sure, I like experimentation and let the instruments guiding my playing, like in a feedback process, but I also like to understand what's happening (and that's why I love my Morphagene, for example, there's both chaos and order in it, I can tame it). Question for you, but also for anyone else: did you feel like it was too much "opinionated" in the sound, textures and patterns it produce? That it plays its music, not yours? I'm very excited by the premises of this product, since I'm a sucker for that type of rich and thick ambient glitch-y things. I really liked 30% of the sounds I could get from it, and found the rest sounded gimmicky at best, and plain bad at worst it feels like the best thing ever at first, but the novelty of the effect wears off, and you find it making its way into your writing flow less and less
