Hologram Electronics Microcosm — MIDI Editor & CC Reference

Control the Hologram Electronics Microcosm from your browser — full MIDI CC reference for 13 parameters, interactive editor, and AI-generated presets. Free, no install.

Nitelite gives the Microcosm a full browser-based control surface: turn every knob, flip every switch, describe the tone you want to the AI Tone Terminal, and save the results — all sent to the pedal live over MIDI (default channel 1). Works free in Chrome, Edge, Opera, or Brave — no install required.

Knobs

Control	MIDI CC	Description
ACTIVITY	CC 6	Controls the density/complexity of the effect — more or less of what each preset does. Works in tandem with Repeats.
SHAPE	CC 7	Applies a contour to the volume or filter characteristics — sweeps through square, ramp, triangle, and saw waveforms
FILTER	CC 8	Low-pass filter at end of effect chain — fully clockwise bypasses filter, turn left to cut high frequencies
MIX	CC 9	Balance between input signal and effect — fully clockwise is 100% wet
TIME	CC 10	Controls time subdivision or global tempo — toggles between Subdiv and Tempo modes via Select/Shift button
REPEATS	CC 11	Determines effect duration or frequency — works in tandem with Activity. Function varies per preset.
SPACE	CC 12	Mixes in stereo reverb — fully clockwise is 100% wet. 4 reverb modes selectable via Shift.
LOOP LEVEL	CC 13	Sets the playback volume of the Phrase Looper

Alt / Secondary Knob Functions

Control	MIDI CC	Description
MOD RATE	CC 14	Sets the pitch modulation rate for subtle chorus to dramatic detuned wobble
RESONANCE	CC 15	Adjusts the filter resonance for more pronounced filter sweep character
EFFECT VOL	CC 16	Adjusts the effect master volume level
MOD DEPTH	CC 19	Sets the pitch modulation depth
REVERB TIME	CC 20	Selects reverb mode: (A) Bright Room, (B) Dark Medium, (C) Large Hall, (D) Ambient
FADE TIME	CC 21	Sets the loop fade time (fade direction configured in Global Configuration)

Switches

Switch	MIDI CC	Positions
SUBDIVISION	CC 5	1/4 / 1/2 / TAP / 2x / 4x / 8x
HOLD SAMPLER	CC 48	Off / On
PHRASE LOOPER	CC 22	Off / On
LOOPER ROUTING	CC 24	Post-FX / Pre-FX
LOOPER DIRECTION	CC 23	Forward / Reverse

Footswitches

TAP — bypass on CC 93
BYPASS — bypass on CC 102
HOLD — bypass on CC 48

Special MIDI Functions

Tap Tempo — CC 93
Reverse Effect — CC 47. Reverses the effect playback direction. 0-63 = forward, 64-127 = reverse.
Looper Only — CC 25. Isolates the looper output. Off = looper plays through effects; On = looper plays dry, bypassing the effect engine.
Looper Quantized — CC 27. Enables quantized looping. Off = free-form loop length; On = loop length snaps to the current tempo subdivision.
Looper Playback Speed — CC 17. Continuously adjusts looper playback speed from slow to fast. Full range 0-127.
Looper Playback Speed (Stepped) — CC 18. Selects looper playback speed in stepped subdivisions: 0=1/4, 1=1/2, 2=TAP, 3=2x, 4=4x, 5=8x.
Copy Preset — CC 45. Initiates the copy/paste preset workflow — copies current settings so they can be pasted to a different user preset slot.

Hardware Presets

The Microcosm has 16 hardware preset slots. Nitelite can save your current settings to a slot and recall slots via MIDI program change.
