![]() Or recording a clean loop and changing effects after the fact to create a sense of evolution or to just audition different ones until you find what works best with a particular riff. This gives you the option of imprinting a loop with one effect and then recording a new line on top with a different one. One of the most unique features is the ability to place the looper either before or after the effects. This mode definitely takes some getting used to, and I haven’t quite figured out the best way to take advantage of it, but it’s there. Pressing again erases your loop and starts capturing new audio. Then there’s “Burst” mode, which records when pressing down the left footswitch and immediately starts playing when you let go. Most loopers I know of only do half-speed and double-speed, if they have speed controls at all. There’s also a button for quickly reversing your loop, plus speed control which can operate in a stepped mode (1/4X, 1/2X, 2X and 4X) or run smoothly from 1/4 speed to 4X speed. This can help avoid awkward gaps or stutters at your loop point, but more importantly, it syncs up with the pedals’ rhythmic effects to keep everything nice and cohesive. For one, you can quantize your recording and sync it either via tap tempo or MIDI. This is, more or less, the way any looper works.įrom there, things get much more interesting. The right footswitch stops playback when you tap it, and erases your loop if you hold it down. A long press undoes or redoes an overdub. Once you activate it by pressing the phrase looper button the basic functions are straightforward: The left footswitch starts and stops recording, and adds overdubs. Ignoring everything else, the Microcosm is a great looper pedal. The looper is also an essential ingredient in what makes the Microcosm special. It’s quite easy to get lost turning knobs as a loop plays, slowly pushing it towards a wash of ambiance. In fact, it’s quite easy to record a simple loop through the Microcosm and build a full, rich and evolving arrangement simply by changing the parameters. While you can connect an expression pedal and perform some filter sweeps, the way it reacts when you start turning multiple knobs at once makes it feel like an instrument as much as an effect. This level of interaction and depth also means the Microcosm feels just at home on a desktop as it does a pedalboard. As you layer more delay lines on top of each other, and the more they repeat, they create new and increasingly complex rhythms until you reach complete chaos. While Repeats controls the number of times each tap sounds. Turning up the Activity increases the number of “taps” or delay lines. ![]() A simple example of this would be in the Pattern effect which is a rhythmic multitap delay. They’re also highly interactive - meaning changes you make to Activity can impact the way the Repeats control behaves. ![]() In short, they’re macro controls that aren’t mapped to one specific parameter and instead control a host of things depending on which effect you’ve chosen. “In general, Activity gives you ‘more’ or ‘less’ of what each preset does, and Repeats controls how long the effect goes on for.” The manual breaks it down pretty well, though: (The secondary controls in light gray are accessed by holding down the shift button.) I say relatively because, while it’s fairly obvious what “mix” does, the “Activity” and “Repeats” controls are a little vague. The eight knobs to the left all have relatively clear primary and shift functions. Those lights also show value levels, the direction of audio playback and are how you navigate the global menu. ![]() Each effect lights up as it’s selected and the four lights above the middle footswitch (which turns the pedal on and off) indicate which particular preset of that effect you have selected. The lone encoder on the right navigates through the various presets. There are a number of buttons, lights and knobs on the front that might seem a bit intimidating at first, but it’s easy to figure things out once you get going. (This turned out to be a real godsend since my cheapo pedalboard power supply introduced a lot of noise.) ![]() On the plus side, Hologram Electronics includes a power adapter in the box, which almost no pedal manufacturers do anymore. This is fairly uncommon on synths and other guitar pedals and means you might need a TRS to dual TS cable to hook up your gear. My one complaint here is that the stereo input is a single TRS jack as opposed to separate right and left ones. Around the back, you’ll find the requisite audio ins and outs, along with 5-pin MIDI In and Out/Thru, and an expression pedal jack. ![]()

![]() Press the little circles on his shell to push them all in. He’ll give you a brief image of what appears to be some kind of slug. Walk to the east and use the trumpet on the giant turtle to speak to him. Start putting the pieces back together until it is complete. ![]() Use the sticky substance on all of the broken pieces to help hold them in place. There’s what looks like broken pottery below it. Click on the dangling mushroom and make sure that it is off the faucet. Go back to east to the area where your ship landed. You’ll need to use the lever left and right to work your way back up. Head back over the zip line to the other side. You need to be right under this sticky substance to be able to grab it. Pull the new plant over and a sticky substance will come out. Now go over to the branch and pull it down so that a seed falls out. I don’t really understand how but positioning them in the way below triggers something and one of the lizards sings loudly and the branch shoots its top off. The reeds in the center have a small pod on them that can be moved up and down. When they are awake they will start singing and the tune will depend on where the position of the pod on the reeds is. Use the trumpet on the branch and it will reveal that circle pattern.Ĭlick on the three lizards in turn to wake them up. Click on the branch to take a closer look at it. There are some lizard-like creatures on the other side of the hole and a strange branch with three circles in it. Walk all the way to the west and jump on the zip-line to the other side. Climb back in the hole to emerge at the base of the tree. Once again the little gnomes will start flying around the tree. Grab the circle to place it in your inventory and follow the pattern.ģ, 4, 1, 2, 3, 3, 1, 1, 4, 4, 4, 2-2, 2-2, 2-2. The first part is the same but more is added to the end. The bugs will make an extension to the pattern for you to follow. Grab the little purple/blue circle and place it in the middle of the pattern by the bug. Once you have the pattern right little gnomes will appear from the tree and the purple, blue circle will appear next to you. You’ll need to pluck the same ones in the same pattern. Listen to the sound they make with their antennae and which antennae are moving. He’ll show you an image of two bugs together. Now that the bug is awake use the trumpet on the bug. Pluck all the antennae and the bug will awake, releasing some kind of strange gas, turning day into night. Now you’ll emerge from the top of the tree and be able to pluck the antennae. Crawl back into the hole and enter back into the hole at the base of the big tree. Pull on the rope hanging from the branch and the tree to the left will breathe out some smoke. You’ll come out at the top right above the giant bug. Enter the hole to the very right of the screen to appear at the bottom behind the creature. Smoke will start appearing out of the tree house and a lady will run out. Hold the chimney closed by clicking on the mushroom. There’s a little chimney with a mushroom cap to your right. ![]() You’ll see a picture of a tree and how you can climb in one hole to emerge out another. The tree to the left is making a noise so click on it with your trumpet. Go into the hole at the base of the first tree and you’ll come out of a tree log just above. Hop out of your ship and head one screen to the west. When the asteroid gets close to the second planet click on it to make your way there. Head back up to the surface and jump in your flying machine. Click on the key hole and you’ll see you need some kind of key to open it. Pluck both of them until the bug wakes up and releases some kind of ice cloud.Ĭlick on the feature on the left side of the cave and it will open up, revealing a key hole. There is a bug hanging onto the cave roof with two antennae. ![]() This will complete the puzzle and open the hole at the top of the asteroid. Once all of circles are white order them in lines of three. You may need to move the white circles to a different line first by eating them and spitting them out somewhere else to get to the red circles. Simply grab and turn the wheel around and gobble up all of the red circles. Use the trumpet on the small knob at the top of the asteroid. Instead hop onto the asteroid as it flies within range.

![]() "When I went to have this put on at the probation and parole office, I said, 'Is this really necessary?'" At the time he remained under home confinement. I know that's not a single place I want to go, not ever again." Graham Spanierįormer Penn State president Graham Spanier pulled up his pant leg during an October 2021 interview with ESPN to reveal a monitoring device strapped to his left ankle. "There's people out there who are trying to move on with their lives and not be put back in that downstairs basement again. "There's always the thought that me being sexually abused by Sandusky did in fact happen, but this is me trying to move forward. Fisher said he wants to keep Sandusky in the past. Penn State has paid more than $100 million to at least three dozen people who say they were abused by Sandusky. He's unemployed but spends time pursuing his hobbies of repairing and customizing cars and off-roading in his Jeep. Now 28, Fisher is a father of two children and lives in central Pennsylvania. That's how close I got," Fisher said, describing an attempt to hang himself in his closet. ![]() "If the closet bar was high enough, I wouldn't be here. "First words out of my mouth were, 'Why did he get fired? They're going to kill me.'"įisher says his lowest point came when he attempted suicide when he was 15. ![]() Fisher said he received threatening notes and that he and his mother's cars were "keyed." He says his concern for his safety only grew on the November 2011 evening that Joe Paterno was fired by Penn State's board of trustees. When Sandusky was dismissed as an assistant, word filtered through the small community that it was because of Fisher's report. When Fisher first reported Sandusky's sexual abuse, Sandusky was serving as a volunteer assistant football coach at Fisher's high school in Mill Hall, Pennsylvania, about 30 miles northeast of State College. and he would lay in bed with me, and then it just progressively got worse," Fisher told ESPN. Sandusky took Fisher to Penn State games, to a Philadelphia Eagles game and eventually invited Fisher over to his home for sleepovers on dozens of occasions, where Sandusky then molested him in a basement bedroom. Sandusky used The Second Mile, the charity he founded in 1977 to help at-risk youth, to meet and groom his victims. ![]() In October 2012, Fisher, along with his psychologist, Michael Gillum, released a book, "Silent No More," which chronicles Fisher's experiences meeting Sandusky at a summer camp for The Second Mile when Fisher was in fourth grade. Looking back, Fisher says his main concern in coming forward was that he "wouldn't be believed." Initially identified in court documents as "Victim 1," Aaron Fisher was the first survivor of Sandusky's sexual abuse to come forward, first to his psychologist, then to Pennsylvania State Police.įisher's decision as a 15-year-old to speak with detectives about Sandusky's serial sexual abuse launched a police investigation that spanned more than three years and led to criminal charges that would land Sandusky in prison for 30 to 60 years - effectively a life sentence. A decade later, the stunning and sudden end to Paterno's 61-year coaching career continues to divide the Penn State community and beyond, and many of those involved, including Sandusky's victims, are still reckoning with what he did and what school officials did after that.ĮSPN recently interviewed key surviving figures from the most wrenching period in Penn State's history to see how they want to reconsider Paterno's legacy a decade later. Paterno died of lung cancer in January 2012, 74 days after Penn State fired him for his role in Sandusky's crimes. In addition to Sandusky's conviction and imprisonment, three high-ranking Penn State administrators received jail time, and the winningest coach in major college football history, Joe Paterno, was abruptly fired. How key figures from Jerry Sandusky's crimes view Joe Paterno's legacy, 10 years after his downfallĪ little over 10 years ago, the public learned of the horrific sexual-abuse crimes committed by former Penn State defensive coordinator Jerry Sandusky.

You can find out how we test mattresses and how to shop for a mattress at the end of this article. I've personally slept on every mattress in this guide for at least two weeks, and put each bed through a series of rigorous objective tests for motion isolation, edge support, and pressure relief. ![]() In my 5 years of reviewing mattresses, I've slept on more than 70 mattresses and have consulted with three medical doctors and a psychologist specializing in sleep disorders. Your bed is the most important part of your sleep setup, so finding the best mattress for you is critical to your sleep quality and comfort. ![]() So, they are out there - you'll just have to do some research to find the products that will actually work for you.When you buy through our links, Insider may earn an affiliate commission. I have seen several cooling pillows that are effective, including GhostPillow and the Purple Harmony, and a few cooling toppers such as the GhostPillow or TempurPedic models. There are many bedding products that claim to promote a cool feel, but you really need to keep an eye out for those special materials mentioned above for a true cooling product. The same logic behind cooling mattresses applies to pillows and toppers. While these do help regulate temperature and wick away your sweat during the night, it won't make the bed a true cooling mattress. Moisture-wicking materials: Keep a wary eye out for cooling covers made with "moisture-wicking" materials. Latex foam promotes increased airflow, preventing a bed from retaining heat and sleeping more temp-neutral than hot. Perforated foam: Beds like the Avocado Green mattress are made with latex foam that have perforations throughout the layer. This allows for better airflow than dense memory foam, making it sleep cooler than a traditional foam mattress. Open-cell foam: The Tuft and Needle and Casper mattresses are made with open-celled foam that has tiny air bubbles throughout. This often includes copper-infused, graphite-infused or gel-infused foam. Infused foams: Some mattresses like the Layla mattress include foams infused with special materials that absorb heat away from your body and disperse it throughout the bed. Often, if a bed only contains one type of temperature-regulating material and no cooling cover, it will sleep temp-neutral. I define temperature-regulating materials as a material that helps prevent a mattress from heating up but doesn't actively cool you. I've found these cooling beds incredibly effective and immediately bring relief to help promote a more comfortable sleeping environment. It's pretty cool tech (no pun intended), and a feature you don't find on many mattresses. Cooling coversīeds like GhostBed Luxe have "Ghost Ice" fabric and cooling fibers in the cover to make a bed physically feel cold-to-the-touch. Paired with the Purple Grid design, it's great at preventing heat retention and promoting airflow. The material resembles a jelly play toy or a Dr. The brand came up with a revolutionary mattress material, unlike any foam you've ever seen before. Some of the beds that stand out most are the ones in the Purple catalog - the Original Purple and Purple Hybrid mattresses. ![]() In my experience testing beds, phase-change materials tend to work better than foams infused with cooling gels or graphite (more on that below). The best cooling materials Phase-change materialsīeds like the Cocoon Chill have phase-change materials that are surprisingly effective at absorbing your body heat and making you feel less warm. Unfortunately, when you're a hot sleeper, temperature regulating materials don't quite get the job done. So, while they aren't cooling, per se, they do sleep cooler than the bed your mom and dad had when they were younger. While the wording is misleading, brands do add materials to mattresses that help them regulate temperature better than traditional beds. However, that isn't to say that the mattress brands that manufacture these beds are lying to you. ![]() |
