COSMIC WAVE is a compact, but epoch-making digital delay with multiple filter functions. This unit’s tone filter
can process the delay sound to have a rich tone or conversely adjust it to be far from the original sound. The
proprietary Cosmic filter creates an effect sound reminiscent of outer space, adding a new color to your delay
sounds. We added new functions such as bit adjustment in which the number of output bits of the delay sound
can be set in 1-bit units, from smooth and high-quality 24-bit to rough 8-bit sound that contains distorted noise.
Enjoy the world of COSMIC WAVE with attractive new features.
Cosmic Filter and Multiple Filtering
Welcome to the world of COSMIC WAVE!
Cosmic filter has an effect that gradually converges over time to the selected frequency band by applying our
unique filtering process to delay sound. By setting the feedback amount more than usual, you can keep the
delay sound ringing while creating sound changes by the Cosmic filter.
This unit can use its filter and equalizer simultaneously. The band-pass filter can limit the bandwidth of delay
sound. Adjusting the bandwidth of the output drastically changes the sound when the original and delay sounds
are mixed. There is no limit in delay sound variations achieved by the combination of this band-pass filter and
3-band equalizer, as well as the TONE control inserted in the delay’s feedback loop.
Factory Presets
The COSMIC WAVE is shipped with factory presets. They are stored in the user preset memory after No. 128
with the [ F: ] preset number prefix. Users can turn the DELAY TIME (PARAM) encoder to select and recall the
desired factory preset.
Note that this factory preset area is protected against recall, write, or delete operation via MIDI signals.
Note that the parameters of the factory presets have already been copied into the user preset area to be used
after being edited to the user’s preference.
For more details about the factory presets, please refer to the product page on our website.
How to Recall Presets
How to Edit Parameter Setting and Save to Preset
This unit provides 128 presets that can be recalled in several ways.
Switching between Presets 1 and 2 by TAP Footswitch
To switch between Presets 1 and 2, press the TAP footswitch for 0.5 seconds.
Switching to Desired Preset from 128 Presets
1. Press the HOME switch to show the HOME screen in which a preset number and preset name are displayed.
2. Turn the DELAY TIME (PARAM) encoder until the desired preset number is shown on the display. The two red
LEDs above the TAP footswitch flash alternately. Note that the preset is not recalled at this point.
3. Press the TAP footswitch to confirm the recalling operation of the preset. After confirmation, the two red LEDs
stop flashing.
Recalling Preset via MIDI Signal
This unit’s presets can be switched by receiving a MIDI signal containing a program change number from an
external MIDI device. The MIDI channel of the device that sends program change numbers must be the same as
that of the MIDI channel of the COSMIC WAVE.
NOTE
If the TAP footswitch has been set to [PS 1-2] in the Global Setup screen, these two presets switch instantly at the
moment when the footswitch is pressed.
1. Press the SAVE switch. The SAVE LED and the preset number display start flashing.
2. Turn the DELAY TIME (PARAM) encoder until the display shows the desired preset number to which the
edited setting should be stored.
3. Press the SAVE switch to save the edited parameter in the preset.
NOTE
To cancel the save operation in the middle, press any of the HOME switch or the cursor / key other than the
SAVE switch while the number shown in the display is flashing.
If a parameter of any stored preset is changed, a dot appears at the lower right side of the preset number’s first
digit. When the edited parameter is saved to the preset, this dot disappears.

MIX LEVEL
Adjust the mix level of the original and delay sounds.
Turning the knob to the right increases the delay sound
level.
FEEDBACK
Adjusts the feedback amount of the delay. Turning the
knob to the right increases the feedback amount and
the number of delay sound repeats. Please note that if
the feedback value exceeds 100, the volume will
increase each time the loop repeats. (The output level
limit can be set in Global Setup => Setting for
FEEDBACK LIMIT.)
TONE
Adjusts the tone (Timbre) of the delay sound. Turning
the knob to the right emphasizes the treble and to the
left suppress. If set to 0, the TONE function is turned off.
DEALY TIME
Adjusts the delay time. Turning the encoder to the right
increases the delay time and to the left decreases it.
SUBDIVISION
Sets the delay length as a note. By handling a quarter
note as the reference for tempo, the delay time can be
set as the duration of a note. The default value is
Quarter note [Crochet]. You can select from: Whole note
[Semibreve] (1), Half note [Minim] (2), Dotted Quarter
note (.4), Triplet in four (4/3), Quarter note [Crochet] (4),
Dotted Eighth note (.8), Triplet in two (2/3), Eighth note
[Quaver] (8), Triplet in one (1/3), and Sixteenth note
[Demiquaver] (16).
When the time display unit is “msec”, the delay time is
automatically calculated and the displayed accordingly.
The display will not change when the time display unit is
“BPM”.
DEPTH (MODULATION)
COSMIC WAVE can apply modulation to delay sound.
Turning the knob to the right makes the modulation
deeper.
RATE (MODILATION)
Adjusts the speed of the modulation applied to the delay
sound. Turning the knob to the right speeds up the
modulation.
INVERT
Set whether to output the delay sound in phase as the
input signal or in reverse phase.
To output the delay sound in reverse phase, turn the
encoder and select ON.
Each of the L/C/R knobs is used to adjust the
corresponding band. When the knob is set to the 12
o’clock position (value = 0), the equalizer is off.
Turning it to the right is boost and the left is cut.
BASS (3 BAND EQ)
Adjusts the tone of the bass register. The frequency to
be adjusted can be selected in the Global Setup screen.
MIDDLE (3 BAND EQ)
Adjusts the tone of the middle register. The frequency to
be adjusted can be selected in the Global Setup screen.
TREBLE (3 BAND EQ)
Adjusts the tone of the treble register. The frequency to
be adjusted can be selected in the Global Setup screen.
PRE DELAY TIME
Adjust the timing to output the delay sound. Output
timing for the delay sound is delayed for the duration set
in this screen. Turning the encoder to the right increases
the delay time and turning it to the left decreases.
Delaying the timing at which the delay sound is output a
little has the effect of making it easier to hear. Irregular
delay sounds can be created by shifting the output
timing significantly.
