  • Creative looper and performance effects unit
  • Audio is recorded in a network of multiple delay lines, modulated by LFOs
  • Cycle times vary between 2.5 seconds and 22 seconds depending on the algorithm
  • 4 different algorithms with three variations each: 2 delay lines with relative shift, 4 delay lines with relative shift, Giant Reverb and Granular Delay
  • Blur and Drift knobs control different parameters in the algorithms
  • Adjustable suppressor/compressor effect
  • Controls for drive, feedback, input and output levels

Drifting memory station looper

COSMOS is a drifting memory station designed to work with meditative states through music. The design of the controls, functions, and generated soundscapes are intended to evoke, in both the performer and listener, states and experiences inherent in meditation, such as limitless space, fluidity, spontaneous development, presence, the ability to listen, tranquility, and the experience of subtle harmony and happiness enveloping the whole world. Functionally, COSMOS is a large sound memory array in which recorded sounds undergo continuous recombination, spontaneously generating an ever-evolving soundscape. This is achieved in three ways: a mathematical shift based on the relationships between large prime numbers (the sizes of all delay lines are different prime numbers), asynchronous LFO operation, and modulation with a slowly changing chaotic signal. As a result, it allows endless layering and processing of various sounds, like a looper, but without an intrusive, repetitive loop. COSMOS generates rich, fluid and ever-changing soundscapes that are perfect for ambient music. Using COSMOS, you can play an entire meditative solo concert while in a spontaneous flow and without using prepared studio sequences, backing tracks, and other things that cannot be a reflection of the "here and now."

Technical Specifications

Minimum input voltage 0.35 V peak-to-peak Maximum output voltage at line outputs 11.3 V peak-to-peak The maximum output voltage at the headphones output 10.4 V peak-to-peak Frequency response 10-22000 Hz Sound memory 44.7 sec Supply voltage DC 12 V * Power connector polarity center plus Current consumption 0.25 А Dimensions 342 x 153 x 68 mm Weight 2.2 kg * Use only the power supply supplied with the device! In case of failure, it can be replaced with a high-quality modern switched-mode power supply with an output voltage of DC 12 volts, the center is plus and an output current of at least 0.5 amperes (more is fine). The power supply must have a wide AC input voltage range of 100-240 volts. Such power supplies have excellent output voltage stabilization required for the device. It is forbidden to use COSMOS with nonstabilized voltage from transformer power supplies. It can lead to damage to the device, which is not covered by the warranty repair!
