I think Microcosm wins on overall fidelity, and it certainly wins on being able to accept hotter signals. I've yet to use the looper in Microcosm, but the hold feature is pretty fun. The Microcosm looper seems pretty vanilla, compared to Blooper.

The looper in Blooper is certainly more full featured.
I never really found much of a use for Blooper's Stability control, it added too much noise.

Microcosm is going to be all that useful, but in the interest of being pedantic, I would say that Microcosm has 11 families of effects, with a fair amount of variation within each family, plus the pitch modulation, filter, and reverb. However, I believe that it's only the effects on the Microcosm that are midi synced and not the loops themselves (ie: can't sync the loops to a master clock).Ĭlick to expand.I'm not sure that this sort of numeric analysis of Blooper vs.
The fact that the Microcosm is stereo makes it a real winner for me. It felt like the Blooper was a super deep looper with some awesome effects and mangling capabilities, and on the other hand the Microcosm is a super deep effects processor with an awesome looper. I sold my Blooper before this had arrived and I think so far I prefer the Microcosm but in a lot of respects they're very different. Now that it's working for me I think the effects are absolutely incredible. I'm quite well versed in complicated techy gear setups but I guess sometimes you just gotta turn the damn thing off and back on again. I was very frustrated and even sent an email to Hologram thinking it was actually broken (Sorry Ryan ). Turns out I just rebooted my whole setup (as there's a computer and an audio interface in play) and voila, the MAGIC. At times I would get no effected sound out of 75% of the modes and I'd walk away and come back and it would behave differently. I've been messing with it last night and today and it wasn't behaving as I would have expected it to. 60 sec.I'm using mine in a loop in my audio interface in Ableton Live, I assume you're not using it in the same fashion but I had to turn the gain down quite a bit on the send to the Microcosm and crank the gain on the return.MIDI In/Out/Thru, clock synchronization.
Expression Input, mappable to many controls.11 unique granular and looping effects with 44 preset variations.All loops, overdubs, and settings can be saved and recalled later using the pedal’s 16 user presets. When you’ve found a sound you like, the built-in stereo phrase looper can capture up to 60 seconds of your performance and even allows for layering phrases from different effects. Tweak the sound further using Microcosm’s built-in pitch modulation, lush stereo reverb (with 4 selectable modes), and resonant lowpass filter. Microcosm’s 11 groundbreaking effects (with a total of 44 preset variations) allow you to slice, stretch, rearrange, and manipulate your playing in musical ways. Cascading micro-loops can be locked into tight, tap-tempo synced rhythms, diffused into glacial ambient textures, woven into hypnotic drones, and much more. Microcosm is a granular effects pedal that rearranges and reinterprets your sound in new and exciting ways using a variety of sampling, pitch-shifting, delay, and looping techniques.
