Whether you want it or not, a release from Soma is always a game-changer and worth paying attention to. I love these guys. Another seriously interesting product.
I’m glad you got to do a video on this one. Very helpful! Didn’t know what to think of it when it was announced, but this solidified its place on my wishlist.
This arrived yesterday. Only played with it for a little bit but I'm already in love. After tinkering for less than ten minutes i made an entire ambient track. It's a keeper for sure.
This is the first piece of gear I have instantly wanted in a long time. I’m imagining pairing it with the Arturia Microfreak for some spice and dice loveliness. Beautiful stuff.
Like so many other products, this thing gives me so many ideas for things to try with my Octatrack... That sampler has saved me a lot of money at this point ❤️
Your first sentence finally explained what Cosmos does! After watching all the Soma videos etc, they never actually said what it was doing so thank you! Haha. Very nicely jam at the end too.
Ziv, pretty stoked with the way you look at music tech. You say "Hold on a second, have you tried this?" Its a wonderful insight into evolving technology. Been a patron for a couple of years now....
$619.00. Such an incredible imaginative product from Soma! My greatest concern is that the effect will be identifiable like FM DX7 sounds were in the 80s, or Eventide Space and BigSky pedals are today... and therefor not an original creative addition to our compositions. Next concern is the price, with my present rig I have been making wonderful polyrhythms for 5 years now, combining my poly designs with a creative effects pedal like the ZoomMS70CDR I can already create the Cosmos effects in a very similar way, although more work and time on my rig, but with more controllable and repeatable results. Heavy complex effects have a signature sound to them, identifiable sometimes. For half the price I may have considered it. Thank you again loopop for a near perfect review on a product I would never had seen otherwise. The product has opened my mind to new possibilities with my present rig.
thanks for your overview! On point as always. 💯🙏🏻 I cannot wait for this thing. I instantly joined the pre-order list the moment it was announced. I make my rc505 do many of the functions that these algorithms do. So stoked
Hi! Noticed someone in the commentary field mentioned Cosmos is very noisy? Does not make sense to me this should be noisy in itself? I would expect it to be as clean or noisy as th users setup. Can you please tell me if it is noisy or not, thanks. Best, Mik

Drift reminds me of Granulator II in Ableton Live, amazing to have something like this at your fingertips while you play, and not in post-processing.
Got in on the preorder when they first announced it and am jazzed for September to get here. I can't wait to run my guitar/ebow through it. I would also like to see what possibilities there are by feeding one of the outputs back into one of the inputs.
The different types of loopers and delays these days are intense. I have been looking into getting an unconventional looper to add unique textures to tracks. I was sort of sold on saving up for one of the chase bliss loopers but now my mind is being changed. If you ever get the chance loopop, I’d like to see you do a video comparing loopers or just more looper performance ideas (maybe even looper on looper action). Another thought is how awesome would this thing be with the subharmonicon! My final thought is keep up the excellent work loopop!
Thanks! There are SO many loopers a comparison isn't likely - this however, is very much unlike anything else I'm familiar with. This with a subharmonicon as a sound source would indeed be great, but not when its sequencer is running IMHO, that could be quite a mess...
Great content as always. I've noticed you have a Blooper Pedal from other videos. I can't find a review from you on that in your content listing. I see one for the MOOD. Please consider making one when time permits. Thanks.
Yep, EHX Stereo Memory Man with Hazarai does this aswell. Can highly recommend it to anyone looking for a more affordable alternative. 30 seconds Stereo Looper with delay, reverse delay and the ability to filter, reverse, slow dowm or speed up the loop. It's a workhorse!
I saw your reminder review, than the gr-1, I saw reviews of the t-resonator, thanI decided to get the latter one, now this... I guess I'm Good with my decision 🙂
I'm not familiar with a similar product - I made a patch the takes inspiration from a small portion of this on Hector, but nothing matches the whole thing that I know of.
This looks like a great tool. It doesn't need to be a traditional looper, because, frankly there are already too many options. It's great that it does something different. That said, regarding "rhythmic" looping capabilities, when a some manufacturer has the sense to create a looper that allows you (me) to set a loop time with a bpm knob paired with a 1 bar/2 bar/4 bar toggle, they will have created something beautiful. If anyone reads this and builds such a looper, please throw me a discount. Thanks.
Soma definitely makes my kind of gear... all the cons sound like pros to me, lol. I love unrepeatable, unorthodox flows of organic sound. With no undo ability, it becomes proper art, where you have to go with whatever you put down and make it into something beautiful, rather than just hit undo and try again.
Lovely! Can you please make a review of the new MOTU Ultralite Mk5? It has a ton of DC coupled outputs, many analogue inputs, MIDI, full digital mixer with effects, etc. I wonder how it will hold up in a hybrid studio.
Just off the initial intro... it seems like an rc-505 can do this (all with a little bit of a workaround). That said, this is the most interesting piece of gear I've seen in a loopop recommendation for a while.
Did you ever leave any comments about the rhythmic firmware? A year after ordering I've finally got my hands on cosmos and this video is as helpful as ever
Thanks for the great informative review. One thing I am not sure about: The Cosmos will not change anything of you musical input without using the record button in ON position, correct? So when in OFF position nothing happens, or will modify your sound using any of the buttons. So the Record button is like an ON/OFF button, you must start with the Record button in On position to create.
is there any vst out there that does similar things? and im not speaking about these typical multi-fx units (which are cool), but effects that have their own character and alter sources into something extremely etherealy and spacy
Thanks! Perhaps, though no immediate plans. I felt like the Akai videos on the update did the job well. My take is that it’s an amazing update - no cons really…

A new loopop is way better than TV ever was !
Haven’t watched the channel in a bit and you’ve raised your game! Dope jam at the end and as always very informative.
Oh, here's another episode of "gear on my wishlist that I'm about to love and be obsessed about even more"

Yep. I immediately became obsessed with this. Can’t wait till I can afford one!

Mine is being delivered today! Here I am watching this amazing demo in anticipation!
ugh i can't stop listening to this demo. so excited for cosmos.
Watching again because I pre-ordered in February and I just got the email saying it’s ready. Very excited!
This is such a great video. Mine actually arrived today cannot wait to delve into the mysteries of the cosmos ;).
The looped melody at the bugging was beautiful.
Wow - that final Jam was genuinely beautiful and inspiring - 👏

man...one minute into it and I was already lost. thanks a lot, very inspiring.

wtf are you talking about, the only reason those sounds became so recognizable is because they were new and original
@@aawagga6841 No reason to be angry about a synth device. Calm down and listen to my comment, you seem to have missed the point.
The percentage of listeners who can pick out a Strymon or Eventide reverb from anything else in the context of a song is probably 0.00000001.

This very possibly would be great in Bill Frisell's sonic palette.

Great vid, interesting device.
Any plans on revising the MPC line with the new firmware? I'd like to know your take on it.
Thanks! Perhaps, though no immediate plans. I felt like the Akai videos on the update did the job well. My take is that it’s an amazing update - no cons really…
OK, I need to buy one of these so I can hook it up to my Lyra 8 :D
I was wondering how this would handle drones from the Lyra-8... I was thinking that this would need distinct notes for the delays to latch onto...
I wonder how the Cosmos may sing together with the Microcosm... an infinite dream machine...
The rhythmics firmware is out! Any chance you could do a short follow up video on it?
Just got mine and this has been super helpful watching again. Have you managed to check out the new firmware(s) yet?
Thanks! Not yet but hopefully in a few weeks
Could you do a review of the Mega FM?
Interesting and informative- as always. And thanks again for Your advise concerning oscilloscope - obtain today one from official site.

"If you hold the record button it activates the slow mode."
So kind of Soma Labs to add a Hainbach mode!
Would probably work well with NDLR as well.
It’s like the Fugue Machine only as a Looper!
i dont understand why the filters aren’t controlled by knobs, other than that this thing is cool
