Darkglass Anagram KosmOS 1.19 adds a phaser, amp and cab IRs
KosmOS 1.19 for the Darkglass Anagram adds the Pheral 91 Phaser and Hi-Five 103 tube amp blocks, SWE Nordline 4x10 IRs and smarter MIDI scene control.
Two new blocks, a set of 4x10 cab IRs and more control over scenes from a MIDI controller: that's KosmOS 1.19, the new firmware for the Darkglass Anagram bass multi-effects unit.
The new blocks are the Pheral 91 Phaser and the Hi-Five 103 Tube Amplifier, and they arrive alongside SWE Nordline 4x10 bass cabinet IRs. Darkglass's walkthrough gives all three their own deep-dive sections, with sound samples.
The MIDI work centres on scenes. A new MIDI Scene Change setting lets you choose whether scene change messages also switch the active scene bank, as they did before, or only select a scene. With the second option, a MIDI controller can call up specific scenes without changing what the Anagram's own footswitches select.
Next and Previous scene messages now skip empty scenes and wrap around at the first and last one. The dynamic footbar also shows up in the signal chain view when scenes change over MIDI inside the active bank, and list-style parameters respond better to MIDI CC.
Under the hood, the changelog lists NAM A2 optimisations, support for plugin templates for Marketplace plugins and system optimisations. Fixes cover a Stomp LED left lit after removing a bound block, the signal chain view jumping back to the wrong position after visiting block settings, and renaming a user preset area after it has been reordered.
A quick follow-up, KosmOS 1.19.1, is already out. According to Darkglass's changelog, it fixes NAM A2 input levels and the blend on the effects loop Return.
Installing it is a copy job. The Anagram shows up as a mass storage device over USB-C, and Darkglass asks you to copy the downloaded file across as-is, without extracting it.
The update walkthrough comes from Darkglass's own channel.
