Pre-Owned Hologram Electronics Microcosm with USB-A Midi Cable

The Microcosm – A World of Sonic Possibility in a Compact Format

Granular Mastery and Rhythmic Innovation

The Hologram Electronics Microcosm invites you into a meticulously crafted soundscape where looping, granular effects, and dynamic modulation redefine your approach to ambient and experimental guitar tones. This pre-owned unit, in excellent condition, delivers the sought-after atmospheric magic the Microcosm is known for—11 individual effects, 44 preset variations, and the power to shape them all in real-time.

Expansive Sound Architecture

From shimmering harmonics to pitch-shifting drones and unpredictable glitch sequences, the Microcosm offers a unique palette. Whether you're leaning into the rhythmic loops of the Micro Loop bank, sculpting textures with the Granules effects, or driving complexity with Multidelay’s rhythmic tap patterns, there's a well of sonic depth to draw from. Built-in stereo reverb (4 selectable modes) and adjustable pitch modulation provide lushness and dimensionality, while a resonant low-pass filter gives you control over clarity and chaos.

Looping Engine with Creative Depth

The integrated 60-second Phrase Looper isn't just an add-on—it’s a compositional tool. Stack ideas, layer effects from multiple banks, or dial in reverse playback. With options like Pre-FX routing, quantized synchronization, and burst mode for immediate loop capture, the looper adapts to your workflow rather than the other way around. All of this is tied together with 16 user preset slots, making recall and live performance seamless.

MIDI and Expression Pedal Control

MIDI In, Out, and Thru ports offer deep integration into complex rigs, supporting program changes, clock synchronization, and full parameter control. The expression input is fully mappable to parameters like Activity, Shape, Filter, and Loop Level, allowing for tactile, real-time manipulation that responds directly to your playing.

Performance-Ready Design

Whether you prefer true bypass or buffered trails, the Microcosm accommodates both, maintaining your tone integrity regardless of configuration. Expression pedal compatibility, selectable input levels (instrument or line), and stereo I/O ensure the pedal works just as well on synths and drum machines as it does with a guitar or bass.
