The Cosmos is an 8-voice polyphony and provides you with the option to modulate anything with LFOs while dazzling with arpeggios with the multimodal galaxy arp. 

The sound engine’s eight voices include variable shape virtual analogue oscillators with Harmonics and Tone to play with that encircle each other and can engage in Noise and a Sub Oscillator. 

The virtual analogue filter has its frequency described by the circumference of a planet with independent settings of Resonance taking a large orbit while dampening and Drive add character and collision – plenty of cosmic terminology as you’d expect.

The synth also boasts a galaxy arpeggiator with rate, octaves, and four unique modes, lush reverb and echo with variable feedback, damp, time and mix, and the ability to patch anything with two UFOs (frequency and shape) and envelopes.

The Cosmos comes equipped with presets to get you started while allowing you to easily create your own and save them to the Cosmos.

Genki CEO Ólafur Bjarki Bogason said the Cosmos is “specifically designed to be an inspiration machine, not just for synth buffs, but any musician who wants to create interesting sounds and sonic textures”.
