Chroma Console: Sound from Scratch #1
Вставка
- Опубліковано 4 гру 2023
- Running a phaser before a stereo delay is probably more conventional, but what would it sound like to run a time-based effect, like tape delay, into a phaser? Well, it sounds like this, and it's all in full stereo.

Seriously, you guys are geniuses. The interface is so well thought out. I’ve never seen what initially may look like a complex pedal put so much thought in to simplifying its interface that it no longer feels like a complexity barrier.
This^ I had the microcosm for a bit but sold it because I found it too difficult to recreate a sound I had come across. This is much more straight forward. I honestly think they should re-do their pedals to all have this layout.
I love this. More of the “Sound from Scratch” series please. Hopefully, the “#1” indicates there are more to follow!
Will be getting one soon. Cheers to Hologram.
stay tuned! more coming
@@HologramElectronics yes, more please, and with synths!
Absolutely love this series. I was already sold but this makes me so so excited to use it.
Stunningly beautiful sounds! The module order switching gives it so much depth. I think you have another modern classic on your hands, Hologram!
MORE OF THIS.. very helpful in navigating this pedal.
This is possibly the nicest sounding pedal ive ever heard! Doesnt hurt it looks lovely either
What a gorgeous device. The routing option is really really smart. Drastically different after the change up. Sounds incredible!!
That cassette function is so fantastic sounding. Obviously can’t wait to play with mine when it comes.
I just need a pink cap for that mix knob 💞😉
Awesome sounds Matt! Such a unique and beautiful pedal 💚💛❤️💙
I got despatched notice yesterday, should have it on Monday, can’t wait to try it, great run through on this video, hope there will be lots more. Going to pair well with Microcosm and probably the only 2 pedals I need!
Amazing sounds ☺️ Can't wait to experiment with one.
Got mine here in Brussel,Belgium. The UI is fantastic and the connectivity is top notch. It is a great palette to create your own sounds and presets. I mean, this is a pedal with presets slots that does not come with any presets ! A box with a lot of bonuses; the pedal even reponds with colourful visual feedback to your inputs / interaction with it !
One of the most musically inspiring tools I've heard in a long time. This could help revolutionize music in the 2020's.
This is absolutely da 💣. Cant wait to pick this up. Gotta wait till Feb.
Excellent little demo. Recently bought the Microcosm, love the quality and it's sound. Seems like the Chroma is on the list next :)
You took a lot of concepts and functions and put them into a ridiculously easy to use UI. Right out of the box you’re cooking even before you mess with effects order, looping, etc. I’m VERY impressed. You take that same a approach with more smaller affordable pedals you’ll absolutely crush it from the high end gear needs to newbies. This is such a great design.
thanks so much!
Been waiting for a pedal like this for a while!
I think I’m in love, can’t wait to get this!
Received mine yesterday was playing it non stop.this pedal is amazing the sounds are familiar but different.very inspiring.another home run.the packaging on all your pedals is so elegant the quick start and the manuals so perfect absolutely love what your doing at hologram
When did you order? The only thing preventing me from ordering now is the January delivery... I figure I can wait a little while.
@@TylerofIndy the day it was announced
Knoxville!!! Can’t wait to get mine in January!! Love this company!!
This is the best pedal ever made and I havent even used it yet. Its like taking an analog daw with all the best effects wherever you go.
Sounds beautiful! I don't own or play guitar but this is making me wish I did 😂 will be using mine with synths and drums but this is making me really excited by the possibilities. Just waiting for that 'dispatched' email. The waiting is killing me!
Nice playing
Simple yet limitless....true geniuses indeed.
Beach trippin… one of my favorite chord progressions
You guys are fantastic! Please, make other videos for guitar players, in particular to achieve not only strange effects, but also "normal" effects like delay, reverb, phaser, flanger, overdrive, distortion, fuzz, pitch, tremolo, etc. (also taken individually).
To use it like a normal multi effects pedal, with pragmatic samples, and not only for sound (and noise) experiments :)
Now I only need one pedal. Nice job!
Can’t wait until my unit comes in!
Nice guitar playing at the end.
Wonderful. I’m filling up presets on mine fast already :)
Stinking love this
Can't wait until mine shows up in the mail!
I’ve said it before. This pedal sounds like a memory 💚
Excellent and Very Flexible Unit and Nice Demo 😎💯💯
so glad i placed my order, even though i must wait..
Bruh this pedal so 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
What. A. Gem!
I almost want to buy it just to reward you guys for making a box that doesn't force me to reread the manual six thousand times before I understand how to use it. If I hadn't already bought a Microcosm, I might have gotten this instead.
this is the best
hell yea
Badass.
please do a bass demo!
is it possible to turn each effect on and off individually via midi? midi controller? Thank you
Yes. It uses a CC (0-127) with a range of about 21 for each effect and OFF. For example, Character Module is CC #16. Drive is 0-21, Sweeten is 22-43...OFF is 110-127.
time 3.52 how did you set up bypass? This was not mentioned anywhere in the video before
Is it possible to change the modulation/flutter rate or things like Bias/speed in Cassette?
The amount knob for each effect seems to change more than one variable. So, kind of. It's really well thought out.
@@bnz70 Gotcha - I'm aware there's much more than the front face, and also plan on utilizing as much additional control as I can via MIDI.
And while I _could_ mockup tape-loops & adjust reel tension to taste, cassette sims are something that really require more than one baked-in setting to shine, imo (even/especially if that does change key parameters throughout as a "macro"), so I do hope there's at least the ability to tune the basics via BPM/sync.
Maybe in a future firmware, too @HologramElectronics 👀
After reading the midi implementation chart, I don’t think you can adjust fine details like that. Microcosm is similar in that there are specific parameters I’d love to be able to mess around with but tbh I got 44 effects in one pedal with a lot of control already, I can’t be too mad when I can’t fine tune EVERYTHING.
Yeah I need mine like....now lol
Can someone explain what's happening at 2:46 with the secondary parameter? I hear the difference but I can't really understand what is actually happening.
So both the Movement and Diffusion modules have a secondary control called "Drift." Increasing Drift will introduce additional layers of modulation to the active effect. So here, I'm increasing Drift on the Reels effect. For that effect, increasing Drift will increasingly add stereo-panning and tape degradation. For all the Diffusion effects, you can rely on Drift adding some pitch modulation to the delay line.
Hope that helps!
Ah I see. Very cool, thank you!@@HologramElectronics
I am growing SO restless waiting for mine to ship 🔥🫠🔥
2:28 weird that the pitch goes momentarily up as the delay time is increased, I would have thought it would go down as the "tape" speed is decreased.
What is the signal path here? Are you using the pedal through Logic i/o hardware insert?
Guitar > Chroma Console > Milkman Amp Stereo > Audio Interface
No reverb?
My gosh i thought this was a loop from logic and was tripping out how my unit didnt sound the same at the end of each example and i got to think its because you are strummig lmfao.
This is why a gear head and DJ is not allowed to have nice toys haha oof. Regardless of my incompetence, as a long time microcosm user and new chorma owner, i think your team are geniuses
with this pedal u dont NEED to capture a sound first before u can edit it with effect right?
i wonder if chroma console + a midi switcher could replace a whole board, it certainly seems so!
Can the delay and other modulation be synced to a midi clock?
I’m sure it can.
yep!
Will there be a black version?
silver would be better
So cassette is like built in lofi effects? nice
Is this available in India?
Want Want Want
Needs an hm-2 in front of it!!!
Sell this beauty in France please I need it
we are a direct-to-consumer company and ship to france every week! check out this page for more info: www.hologramelectronics.com/international-ordering
I like your style, I have an idea for you...they call it a USB type C connector...has anyone ever heard of it?!
It has a USB C connector.
make a black one and im buying it that same day
First
You guys are marketing the launch of this thing in such a strange way. You didn’t send early units to guitarists so all customers have to go on were peeps who didn’t really know how to make this thing shine the way you have in this video. In fact, all guitar demos thus far (except this one) sound like garbage so I cancelled my pre-order. I’m going to keep that cancelled because at this point I’m not even sure how confident Hologram is in what you’ve created. It sure feels (and kinda sounds) that way.
I'm also mad they didn't send me one, they actually expect us to buy the things we promote on here. Sounds like they have no confidence in their product. 😂
i think they're marketing just fine. synth geeks are more interested in these kinds of gear, since guitarists are more likely to understand a pedal that's just one switch one effect. take the zoia, it's way more understood/used in the synth community. i guess guitarists are stupid hahahaha
We're a small company, and we have so far just focused on designing, building, and testing these. We put a lot of time into our own videos, but there will be promo units going out to content creators soon. At the moment the priority is just on building pedals for the many people who have already purchased one
@@HologramElectronics Understood,. but I think the poster is indicating that your marketing is a bit tail wagging the dog. No one knows the pedal like you do. Some of the people that demoed it really did promoting the pedal an injustice. Every official demo I have seen from HE has been amazing. This demo is AMAZING. I think you should, just prior to commissioning pedals, start recording these video's. If you're concerned about the the market demand, wait until you get the sales you want/expect at the introduction, then immediately start releasing your own videos.
