Darkglass Suite

KosmOS is the Operating System running inside the Anagram. It manages real-time audio processing, user interaction, and system control. Built on a modular Linux framework, it hosts effect blocks, neural models, and impulse responses with low latency and precise timing. It provides a unified structure for all Anagram functions—signal routing, control mapping, and content management—while remaining expandable through OS updates and DSP blocks.

To perform a manual firmware update without the requirement of the Suite software, please find the information below:

- Power on the unit
- Click the ⁝ button on the top-right corner of the screen
- Click the About button and then click the Manual Update
- Connect you unit to your computer using a USB-C cable
- Wait for unit to appear as “mass storage device”
- Copy the downloaded tar file to the “mass storage device” (do not extract contents, just copy as-is)
- Safely eject the “mass storage device” from your PC. If using macOS, unplug the USB-C cable (not the power cable!)

MIDI updates

Preset and Scene MIDI Out — With this update, you can send out MIDI messages when activating a preset or a scene. The messages can be configured on a per-preset and per-scene basis. To send messages when activating a preset, go to the Preset Manager and select the new settings button to open the “Preset Settings” screen. To send messages when activating a scene, go to the Scene Manager and select the new settings button to open the “Scene Settings” screen. Tapping a preset or scene in the foot bar also opens its Preset Settings or Scene Settings screen. Renaming can now be done from these settings screens or from the Preset Manager and Scenes Manager screens.

You can add multiple messages of two types: Program Change (PC) and Control Change (CC). There is also a special “Slot Number” option. For a Program Change, the preset or scene slot number becomes the program number. For a Control Change, the slot number becomes the value while the controller number stays fixed.

Controlling the Looper via MIDI — When you send a MIDI message for controlling the looper, the Anagram automatically opens the looper screen. The looper can be controlled with these MIDI CC messages:

• Looper Enter/Exit — CC110 — Any Value
• Looper Play/Stop — CC111 — Any Value
• Looper Rec/Overdub — CC112 — Any Value
• Looper Clear Slot — CC113 — Any Value
• Looper Undo — CC114 — Any Value
• Looper Redo — CC115 — Any Value
• Looper Select Slot — CC116 — Value 1–126 loads slot 1–126
• Looper Next Slot — CC117 — Any Value
• Looper Previous Slot — CC118 — Any Value

New MIDI Settings

• USB MIDI — Controls if MIDI is received from and transmitted to USB
• MIDI Through — Controls if incoming MIDI messages are passed through to MIDI out, with routing options for 3.5mm, USB, 3.5mm+USB, or none
• Program Change Through — Controls if incoming MIDI PC messages are passed through to MIDI out
