The new update brings dual oscillators, an onboard arpeggiator, and twelve vintage-inspired presets to Darkglass's flagship bass processor.
Darkglass has released KosmOS 1.18, a new firmware update for its Anagram platform introducing the long-anticipated Axioma synthesizer plugin.

Inspired by vintage synthesiser architecture, Axioma brings dual oscillators, a sub oscillator, and multiple filter options for tone shaping to the Anagram, alongside a built-in arpeggiator for players looking to expand their sound design options beyond traditional bass tones.
The plugin also includes twelve presets inspired by iconic synth sounds spanning decades of music, giving players instant access to classic tones while leaving plenty of room for deeper sound creation and customisation.
Founded in Helsinki in 2009 by Chilean bassist and engineer Douglas Castro, Darkglass built its early reputation on high-gain bass overdrive and distortion pedals, including the now-iconic Microtubes B3K and B7K units, which became staples among hard rock and metal bassists chasing focused, aggressive low-end tone. The company has since expanded into amplifiers, cabinets, and all-in-one digital processors, culminating in the Anagram, a compact bass preamp combining neural amp modelling, speaker simulation, more than fifty effects, a looper, and a tuner in a single unit built for stage, studio, and home use alike.
The addition of a fully-fledged synthesizer engine via Axioma marks a significant expansion of what the Anagram platform is capable of, pushing it further beyond a traditional bass tone tool and into broader sound design territory.
KosmOS 1.18, including the new Axioma plugin, is available now as a free update for existing Anagram owners.
