APRIL 2024 UPDATE: Design overhaul. Sorta turned it into an interactive manual.
14TH OCTOBER V2 UPDATE:
- Complete design overhaul
- Added In-App preset system - allowing you to see exactly what settings you used on each preset
- Added default values -tap a dial a few times to get back to them
- Added randomise toggles
- Named ticks - e.g to show reverb
- Amazing presets from Ivan Anderson's video (check out his band Cyberattack)
If something looks off, check the log in the main menu ,and please let me know what needs fixing (via the comments below or DM me on Instagram
Notes:
IMPORTANT - ON USING THE SUB DIV DIAL:
There is one limitation of the Microcosm's midi setup: When you change Sub div over midi there's no way to get out of it without going over to the pedal and hitting shift.
Hopefully, Hologram Electronics will add a toggle or lock the time dial to tempo mode in a future update. If you think this would be useful, drop them a note to let them know (also I'd love them to add a toggle to reset hidden settings and turn off receive midi clock)
- Midi Channel: Set to Channel 1. You can change these by going into design mode. Then double tapping each tab and going to the controls pane. Repeat the process for each of the 8 tabs with controls on them.
- Install: After you download the layout, save it into the app so it's retained in the app.
- Tweaking the design: If you'd like to make your own midi layout or modify what I created, Scott UHL Music has a really great video on how to use the app.
- Hidden stuff in design mode: If you happen to open design mode you'll notice there's a lot of panels with controls that are hidden in play mode ( the yellow boxes). Don't delete them - they are super or sub controls, and necessary for mapping and functionality to work. Feel free to tweak other controls though - e.g if you want to change a colour/size, move them elsewhere or switch out a dial of a fader etc.
- More layouts: Here's my layout for the Chase Bliss Mood MKII
Saving in-app presets: Use the ticker to pick the slot -> Hit Save -> Label your preset.
IMPORTANT: If you are adding in-app presets, make sure you save your layout at the end of a session. This will write them to the layout file. Open the App Menu -> Tap Config -> Then tap Save Layout in the Actions Tab
Note: The buttons on the preset toggle tab now work is a little different from earlier versions - you'll have to tap recall after selecting them. I found the previous way a little buggy - hence switching it for now. I might bring it back at a later date. If you want to try the old way you can by going into design mode -> select the toggle -> go into subcontrols and add the "recall" button as the second thing on the subcontrol list.
