Great sounds and performer s..) I got Hologram and Osmose…what Strymon you prefer in this combo?..choose one..)…i have a reverb- STempuswhich is needed after Microcosm…but looking for some other magic..)…Vongone or Violante?..or even Hologram Colors?..what you think?
Thanks! If I had to pick just one I would go with the Volante. It has a built in spring reverb but one of the features that I kind of stumbled into is the SOS mode that you access by holding the right most foot button down. This brings you into the Sound on Sound mode, which lets you create very long evolving walls of sound - after googling around a bit I found quite a few references to it being used in the "frippertronics" style of ever evolving loops of sound. It adds an amazing depth and character that's so much more than that of a delay pedal. I've actually pulled my pedalboard apart and changed it up so now the Volante is before the Microcosm, followed by the Timeline and BigSky. Most of the time I've just had the Volante into the Microcosm and then out to amps. Happy experimenting!
how come you don't get any white noise. It's impossible for me get clear osmose preset sound directly into ableton, although it;s slightly better through arturia minifuse interface compared to rodecaster. Tried all the xlr's and audio cables, still the same issue (facepalm)
Hi there! So my chain here was from Osmos (stereo) into the Microcosm, through the pedal chain, out of the BigSky and directly into the front of the Scarlett 6i6 Gen2 from Focusrite via 1/4 TS cables. From there it was a usb 2.0 cable into an Apple USB-C adapter and into my phone. I just used the standard iPhone video recording to capture both the audio and video. I treated the volume on the Osmos like a pre-amp so I kept it at about 80% or less and then estimated the gain throughout the chain to make sure there was no clipping. I kept the input gain on the Focusrite at about 1/2, so about noon on the knobs. If I set up my laptop and Cubase I would have shot for an output of -6dB max for volume. I'm thinking that white noise, if it's not from too much gain, might be from your pedal power supplies. The one's supplied w/ Strymon are kind of cheap imo so I have all of the pedals powered from a Voodoo Labs Pedal Power 3 Plus which has ample power for the Strymons and no worries about noise being injected by a junk psu. I've found a lot of the smaller one plug adapters to be rather noisy and that will impact everything. I hope you figure it out!
Great to see someone using this with high end pedals - thank you! The Cellove drones, just wow. Need to get one of these to use with my Meris pedals.
Thank you!
yep - perfect! I need to get a Strymon as well, but the Microcosm and Osmose pair pretty well - thanks for the demo / inspiration!
Thanks!
Very sound, much wow 👏
Thanks, Tor!
Yo dude, this is sick!!!
Thanks!!
