11 NEW EFFECTS
60 SECOND PHRASE LOOPER
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. Tweak the sound further using Microcosm's built-in pitch modulation, lush stereo reverb (with 4 selectable modes), and resonant lowpass filter.
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. All loops, overdubs, and settings can be saved and recalled later using the pedal’s 16 user presets.
GENERATE
NEW SOUNDS
11 Distinct Effects. 44 Unique Presets. Endless Customization.
MICRO LOOP
Repetition of short pieces of your playing create new phrases and movement. The Micro Loop bank has 3 effects, each with 4 preset variations:
MOSAIC - Overlapping loops play back at different speeds.
SEQ - Looping samples are rearranged into new rhythmic sequences.
GLIDE - Short overlapping loops shift in pitch over time.
GRANULES
Fragments of sound create giant atmospheres and subtle textural effects. The Granules bank has 3 effects, each with 4 preset variations:
HAZE - Clusters of micro-loops create an immediate wash of sound.
TUNNEL - Cyclical micro-loops generate hypnotic drones with unique modifiers.
STRUM - Rhythmic chains of recent note onsets create pointillistic textures.
GLITCH
Real-time rearrangements of incoming audio play at random or controlled intervals. The Glitch bank has 3 effects, each with 4 preset variations:
BLOCKS - Incoming audio triggers predictable glitches and bursts of notes.
INTERRUPT - Glitches interrupt dry signal with pitch shifted bursts, micro-montages, and other unique modifiers.
ARP - Sequenced runs of samples create arpeggios.
MULTIDELAY
A delay line with selectable number of taps creates a wide variety of rhythmic and textural effects. The Multidelay bank has 2 effects, each with 4 preset variations:
PATTERN - Delay taps are arranged into four different rhythmic patterns.
WARP - Delay taps are manipulated using filters and pitch shifting to create spacious textural effects.
ENDLESS
CUSTOMIZATION
Add Space and Dimension to your sound.
FWD/REVERSE
Alternate between forward and reverse effect playback in real time with the press of a button.
MODULATION
Set the depth and rate of pitch modulation to go from subtle vibrato to extreme warble.
STEREO REVERB
Add space with an expansive stereo reverb. 4 reverb styles, ranging from room reverb to massive ambient wash.
RESONANT FILTER
The synth-style resonant lowpass filter allows for dramatic tone sculpting.
CAPTURE AND
EXPAND YOUR IDEAS
Record and layer performances with the built-in phrase looper and save them for later.
60 SECOND PHRASE LOOPER
Route the looper before or after the effects, capture rapid-fire loops with one tap of a footswitch, record layers of time-synced effects, or even use the looper completely independent of the effects bank.
Infinite Overdubbing + Reverse Loop Playback + Fade Loops In/Out + Undo/Erase.
HOLD SAMPLER
Freezes the effect in its current state and sustains it indefinitely until released. Playing on top of these sustained tones opens up new melodic possibilities.
SYNC/MIDI
Control the internal clock using the on board Tap Tempo, MIDI, or the manual tempo control.
16 USER PRESETS
Save your favorite effects, settings, configurations, and recorded loops for recall later.
OCTAVE UP + DOWN
Dream Sequence’s patterns are composed of octave up and octave down pitch shifts in rhythmic sequence. The octave up and octave down section can also be used independently of the sequencer to replace a traditional pitch shifter.
TAP TEMPO
Hologram’s proprietary, hassle-free Tap Tempo system allows you to synchronize with other musicians effortlessly. Tap as few, or as many, times as you want (even throughout an entire song) and Dream Sequence will smoothly interpret the tempo changes without artifacts.
HOLD SAMPLER
Dream Sequence’s “Hold” function allows you to sample a chord or note and sustain it indefinitely; it then feeds this sample into the pattern sequencer, allowing you to play on top of it to create harmonies, drones, and many other new tonal possibilities.
DRIVE & TONE
Dream Sequence has a built-in digitally controlled analog overdrive and tone circuit. Save drive and tone settings for each preset, or manipulate them as part of your patterns.

SOMETHING NEW
Dream Sequence is built around a pattern-based rhythmic Sequencer that pitch shifts your instrument up or down one octave. This allows for unique Arpeggiator and Tremolo patterns at moderate tempos, churning, atmospheric effects at slow tempos, and wild Modulation-like effects at high speeds.
FWD/REVERSE
Alternate between forward and reverse effect playback in real time with the press of a button.
STEREO REVERB
Add space with an expansive stereo reverb. 4 reverb styles, ranging from room reverb to massive ambient wash.
MODULATION
Set the depth and rate of pitch modulation to go from subtle vibrato to extreme warble.
RESONANT FILTER
The synth-style resonant lowpass filter allows for dramatic tone sculpting.
3 PRESET BANKS
Dream Sequence has 3 Preset Banks: User, Factory, and Saved. The User Bank contains simple, customizable step sequencer patterns, while the Factory Bank contains more complex, evolving presets. The Saved Bank contains 11 locations for saving your own presets.
WAVE SHAPES
The User Bank contains 12 building-block patterns and allows you to use the Subdivision and Shape controls to customize them. The Shape Knob controls the contour of the waveform used by the step sequencer, smoothly morphing from short, percussive, square-wave sounds to backwards-guitar-like ramp waves, and many sounds in between.

MAKE AND SAVE
YOUR OWN PRESETS
Dream Sequence lends itself to creating chaotic, often unexpected sounds. Any sound you create or modify can be saved instantly to the “Saved” Preset Bank and recalled later. This includes the positions of all the knobs (Shape, Dry Mix, Drive, and Tone), as well as Tempo, and any Knob Movements that you’ve recorded.

INFINITELY CUSTOMIZABLE
Dream Sequence is meant to kickstart your creativity; it ships with a variety of presets to get you started, but it’s easy to customize these sounds to your tastes, and even create your own patterns and presets.
PATTERN RECORDER
In addition to the 24 preset patterns included in the Dream Sequence, you can record your own patterns by tapping the 3 footswitches in sequence, or via MIDI in a DAW like Ableton Live or Logic. These patterns can then be saved in any of the 11 User Preset Locations.
RECORD KNOB MOVEMENTS
Twist knobs and record their movements to create patterns on the fly, then sync them to the band with Tap Tempo. You can automate the Drive, Tone, or Shape Controls to produce pulsing distortions, modulation-like effects, and then save them to a Preset.
EXPRESSION PEDAL INPUT
Plug in an expression pedal, and Dream Sequence will allow the user to assign it to Distortion, Tone, Pattern Subdivision, or Tempo.
MIDI IN/OUT
Clock it with MIDI, or even create sequences in your favorite DAW program. Dream Sequence can also clock other pedals via Tap Tempo with its MIDI Output.
