Cosmodio Instruments Horoscope - Stereo Reverb and Delay
The Horoscope Echo Sequencer is a stereo delay and reverb pedal that manipulates clock speeds to turn echoes into evolving rhythms and melodies. It begins with the technique of jumping delays to different time divisions to simultaneously shift delay time and pitch, and then expands that phenomenon into vast new musical spaces. Construct psychedelic pitch-shifting delay patterns, lush drifting ambient textures, or heavy industrial pulses. It’s a musical kaleidoscope that can reflect, expand, and compress sound. And underneath it all, a fully featured delay and reverb.
Horoscope draws from the world of electronic music and synthesis to incorporate quantized arpeggiation, sequencing, and accented glissandos. It taps into ancient tuning theories with scales as simple as pure octaves and perfect Pythagorean intervals, or as rich and microtonally subtle as justly-intonated pentatonics and diatonics. Chance operations, stochastic behavior, and genetic mutation keep everything interactive and evolving. Most importantly it lets you apply all of these interwoven phenomena not only to a delay, but also to a diffuse ambient reverb.
KEY FEATURES:
- Mono, stereo, or mono-to-stereo operation
- 4 customizable presets
- Mechanical bypass or buffered bypass with echo trails
- Tap tempo control over sequencer step rate and base delay time
- Expression pedal and CV (0-5V) control with customizable mappings over every parameter

CONTROL OVERVIEW:
- Precise / Diffuse - Selects between the delay and reverb modes
- Blend - Controls the mix from fully dry to fully wet
- Feedback - The amount of delay repeats or reverb sustain
- Time Div / Tone - In precise mode, sets the delay time as a division of the sequencer step rate. In diffuse mode sets the tone of the reverb, from dark to balanced to bright.
- Constellation - The key to controlling clock speeds. Serves as both a coarse clock control and as a way to select interval clusters to build sequences.
- Sequence - Selects the shape/length of the sequence. From arpeggios, to fixed length rhythms, to infinite randomness.
- Step Rate - Sets the speed of the sequencer.
- Drift - Controls the amount of pitch drift (warble and slides) or sequence drift (step mutations over time).
- Preset - Save and recall 4 customizable presets, or revert to physical controls.
- Bypass - Engages or disengages the effect.
- Tap / Step - In manual mode this manually triggers sequence steps. In auto mode it can be used to tap tempo and control the sequencer step rate and base delay time.
- Auto / Manual - Press BOTH footswitches simultaneously to switch between Auto Mode (sequencer running continuously) and Manual Mode (sequencer only moves when manually triggered).
- M/S - Switch on the top of enclosure next to the input jack. “M” for mono inputs (mono or mono-to-stereo operation). “S” for stereo inputs (stereo operation).
Warranty & Returns
All New products are covered by the manufacturers new warranty. Please check their website for the length of warranty and warranty conditions. If an item you receive is faulty get in touch with us ASAP. Second Hand products come with a 4 week warranty from us. If there is an issue let us know ASAP! This covers normal use and does not cover accidental damage, misuse, wrong power plugged into it, modding, water damage or any other damage caused by mistreatment. Just treat it nice and all will be good!
Shipping
We send A LOT of packages every week so don't worry about the shipping side of things!
We've never lost a thing and your awesome new gear will be packed up really well to avoid any damage in transit.
If your order comes in before 2pm we will ship it same day. Most of the time we pack things up all the way to 4pm so just call if you need it to leave same day after 2pm.
We ship mainly with Australia Post but may use a courier depending on location and size of the package.
Free Post ships with Australia Post standard and expected shipping times are between 4-6 business days depending on location. It will be longer to outside of metro and rural areas.
Express Post will usually be with you next business day in metro areas of QLD, NSW, SA, VIC and TAS. WA will take 2 days to metro and extra days after that to out side metro and rural areas.
Everything we ship has a tracking number with the exception of some power cables and smaller envelope packages. You will be emailed tracking once your order has been shipped!
