It's Australian dollars, equivalent to 1 144 USD. Anagram would be a small multi-effect with Darkglass preamps, effects, and the ability to load NAM amp models. Cosmoloba would be a headphone amp. If I understood correctly.

Darkglass teasing a new product
- Thread starter BrianVengeance
- Start date
I’ll raise you my search, I think a new headphone amp replacing the element, which is just perfect now I’ve fallen in love with the Element and bought 2
Would love a version of the Element that allows for a bit of Room Reverb to give some space/ambience ... to just the instrument input.
I'd give up the power amp sim, cab sim, and EQ for a bit of ambience.
Question: On the Element, can you listen to both the Aux-In and Bluetooth in at the same time?
There's a Taiwan site that's password protected but has a meta tag that reads "Anagram: the future of bass, reimagined."
And Korg's dealer locator page for Darkglass similarly has a meta tag that reads "ANAGRAM : darkglass anagram bass multi-effec" (sic).

There's a lively discussion about this over at The Gear Forum, and someone's posted a different view that shows some different functionality:

Darkglass Anagram - NAM profile player & multieffects unit
Helix has been pretty kind for bass players all along but... yeah, that's about it. Boss is pretty solid as well.

Have been following that one a bit too, and if I’m honest, the device they’re showing off (same as earlier in this thread) seems a bit… uninspired? I’ve never even heard of the guy that supposedly leaked it.
Either way, interested to see what the real thing turns out to be.
It's hard to tell from a very few image, but for me, having 6 physical knobs that can be assigned to anything just abobe a screen like this + 3 footswitch is very close to my dream user interface: depending on the context the 6 bnob can be Gain, Bass, Low Mid, High Mid, Treble and Master, or 6 parameters of a given effect… and you see on the screen what it corresponds to. I think it's genius, because these kind of digital pedals usually lack physical knobs, which forces us to go into many menus when we want to change the settings.
Leo Gibson is a guitarist, he never reviews bass gear, that's why you never heard of him. He's famous for measuring the performances of guitar modelers, including the NAM compatible devices. NAM is a great emerging platform for modeling amps, that is free and Open Source - very promising. Imagine a free platform equivalent but better sounding than the Quad Cortex and ToneX...
The Darkglass Anagram is expected to be compatible with NAM technology, that's why he's teasing it. But if it's a Darkglass pedal, NAM will only be the icing on the cake : we can expect to have official models of all Darkglass amps, preamps and effects + other effects + the ability to download and install NAM models of any amp or pedal from the community, or even make our own NAM captures of analog pedals or amps we have, which makes the Anagram super flexible an expandable.
Me too.

Honestly I think it just comes down to an aesthetic thing for me - color seems more “generic Apple device” than Darkglass, and the knobs seem tight to the top. Clearly these are my own foibles and I’m far more interested in the capabilities, and what you’ve described resonates. Would much rather have rotary knobs and good visual feedback that is context driven over the fussy sliders of the Photon.
Longtime F/OSS advocate, so that’s cool AF. Definitely spend less time on the guitar side, and me not hearing of someone is certainly not a reliable measure of anything meaningful lol. Hopefully it’s kitted out with more than enough horsepower and someone gets DOOM (the game) running on it ASAP.
That ticks a lot of boxes, even if it just covers the Darkglass pedals / amps. 3 switches isn’t a ton when you start adding in effects, but that’s solvable through MIDI as long as the processing holds up in the DSP. Exciting times for sure!
It's today!
6 hours to go if my calculation is correct….?
Speaking of Instagram, Darkglass' April fool joke was quite funny and interesting when you put it in context for the Anagram annoucement:
Epigram was a $999 pedal with 6 DSP Processors and up to 1 simultaneous effect
Sounds pretty good IMO. It is already available in Thomann for 1050€. It is very tempting I must say
Having scanned the website/manual and skipped through the videos - I've not spotted anything about an aux-in function for practise-purposes.
If anyone spots anything, let me know..
