SOMA laboratory Cosmos, Drifting Memory Station Overview

The SOMA laboratory Cosmos, Drifting Memory Station allows you to create ever-evolving soundscapes, perfect for ambient music and sound design. The Cosmos Memory Station works via external sound sources such as a guitar, synthesizer, microphone and everything in between. The stompbox-style design is perfect for hands-free operation, allowing you to control effects with your feet so you can play your instrument.


With a large array of sound memory, the Soma Cosmos can create everything from meditative ambient sounds to chaotic soundscapes. The Drifting Memory Station achieves this by using unique mathematical shifts based on large prime numbers, as well as the use of the LFO and modulation to create endless possibilities. In comparison to traditional loopers, the Cosmos allows you to constantly shift, layer and process various sounds making it perfect for live performances.


The intuitive layout allows you to easily control and shape your sounds using the onboard effects (HPF, LPF and Reverse). Not only that, the unit utilises high-grade Cirrus Logic audio converters as well as the legendary Burr-Brown op-amp. You can also upgrade the Soma Cosmos via the USB flash drive connection. Inspired by the early work of Brian Eno and Robert Fripp, the Cosmos allows you to achieve truly out-of-this-world soundscapes.

Constantly evolving sound

From live performances to ambient music, the Cosmos takes after it its name, allowing you to explore a whole new galaxy of soundscapes. The fluid and evolving nature of the Soma Cosmos makes it one of the most cutting-edge, loop-based units on the market. Unlike conventional loopers, the Drifting Memory Station allows you layer and process a range of sounds. The result is an almost self-aware looping station, providing constant shifts in tone via vocals and instruments.

In-depth modulation and effects for sound shaping

The highly intuitive layout makes the Cosmos perfect for any skillset. From beginners to professionals, the unit provides everything you need to experiment and create new soundscapes. The functions and controls have been carefully selected so you can keep the focus on the music, allowing you to switch between your instrument in seconds – perfect for live performances.

There are a wide range of controls and modulation options on offer, providing the means to sculpt and shape your sound as you create. A high-pass and low-pass filter are both included with dedicated switches. There is also a reverse button so you can further experiment with the orientation of your loops.

You can modulate your sounds using the Blur, Drift, Drive, Suppressor/Compressor, Feedback and Mix parameters. Each of these parameters can be used to change the tonality and shape of your overall sound, perfect for sound design. The large dial in the middle of the unit allows you to switch between algorithms so you can utilise delay, reverb and granular processing parameters.

Versatile connectivity with easy upgrades

As well as the standard stereo I/O, the Soma Cosmos features a powerful 1/4-inch headphone output which you can use to listen and monitor in private. Not only that, but you can also access upgrades to the firmware using the integrated flash drive connection. From here, you can store upgrades on a thumb drive and install them directly onto the Cosmos Drifting Memory Station.
