Summary of Contents for SOMA COSMOS

  • Page 1 USER MANUAL...
  • Page 2 From a functional point of view, COSMOS is a large array of sound memory, in which recorded sounds undergo constant recombinations, spontaneously generating an ever-changing soundscape.
  • Page 3 USER MANUAL COSMOS are switched with light effort so you can use it with your hands as well, as COSMOS is also intended as a desktop fx module. Turning effects on and off, as well as switching algorithms, makes use of cross-fades to prevent the appearance of clicks.
  • Page 4 USER MANUAL ALGORITHMS COSMOS has four types of algorithms (indicated by dashed lines), each of which has three variations (indicated by the three solid dots in different sizes). Each type of algorithm has its own unique method of mixing and shifting sounds. The three variations give different lengths of the delay lines for each of the algorithms.

    USER MANUAL COSMOS Giant reverb. Simulates an echo in a hall several kilometers in size. Due to the enormous size, early reflections sound like individual echoes, which merge very slowly into the finely dispersed noise intrinsic of a reverb. Huge hall.
  • Page 6 COSMOS USER MANUAL KNOBS Adjusts the input level. Set the knob in such a position that the adjacent volume indicator lights up green and does not light up or occasionally light up red. The red LED illuminates when the input A/D converter is overloaded, resulting in harsh digital distortion that cannot be further mitigated by the internal limiter.
  • Page 7 USER MANUAL COSMOS SUP | COM By turning the knob from zero to midpoint (first half of the scale), a suppressor is added. Suppressor is an effect that suppresses recorded sounds with newly arriving ones. In this case, the louder the incoming sound, the stronger the suppression level. The suppressor allows you to automatically replace the contents of the delays when new sounds arrive and play them until the next one arrives.
  • Page 8 COSMOS USER MANUAL BUTTONS High-pass cutoff filter (high frequencies pass, low frequencies are cut). It has three fixed cutoff frequency settings. To change the frequency, hold down the HPF button and press the REVERSE (SELECT) button. The filter status is indicated by two LEDs above it: —...
  • Page 9 — records to the second group of delays of current algorithm. — records to all delays of the current algorithm. (This is the main mode, it is here that all the magic of COSMOS is revealed) In algorithms (delays), if you press and hold the RECORD button for more than five seconds, the playback speed of the delay’s content will be slowed down twice.

    REAR PANEL R-OUT-L Balanced stereo output. If the jack is plugged into only one of the outputs, the device automatically creates a mono mix, thus preserving the full sound pan of COSMOS. — headphones output. FLASH DRIVE — USB 2.0 port for flash drives only, for firmware updates. Do not connect...

    6. The switching of the LEDs above the RECORD button indicates a successful progress of update process. 7. Upon completion of the update process, COSMOS will automatically enter the operating mode, which will be evidenced by the running light on LEDs from left to right, which you see every time you turn on the device.

    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! CREDITS Andrzej Slowik —...
