"This year, Eowave is attending the NAMM 2012 and will announce the release of the KOMA! 2011 has been full of new releases with the Ribbon, a monosynth/USB/audio controller and the release of the little analogue synth DOMINO in November. We'll show the KOMA [no relation to KOMA Electronik], an analog bassline synth with memory and a 16 step sequencer that will be ready to ship very very soon!
, a step back into the 80s with a touch of 2012...
KOMA is an analog sequenced bass synthesizer inspired by classic synths from the 1980s with a synthesis section with 256 sound presets and 256 patterns and a step sequencer section.
The synthesis section offers the possibility to mix 4 different waveforms (saw, square, sub, noise) for infinite modulations. The SUB DESYNC mode enables to desynchronize and to detune the SUB and the main oscillator for complex sounds. The filter is a 24 dB resonant low-pass filter. The LFO has 8 waveforms (triangle, ramp up, ramp down, square, random, digital noise, staircase up, staircase down) and can modulate the VCO, VCF or PWM.
To this particular analog sound of the 80s, we added a touch of modernity with controls and parameters to save compositions and performances. The 16 step sequencer has 4 sections: 1 for the notes and 3 freely assignable to a parameter of your choice to create living sequences with sonorities like Vince Clark or Jan Hammer.
With 256 sound presets and 256 patterns locations, the KOMA is a versatile instrument for live performance as well as a powerful composition and sound design tool. Its very intuitive control panel allows the user to edit all parameters in real-time.

KOMA Elektronik AnAlOg gate videos
KOMA Elektronik AnAlOg gate / delay pedal. NO input.
YouTube Uploaded by Janoise on Jan 11, 2012
"Dubstep bass?"
XoXboX plus KOMA AnAlOg gate / delay pedal.
YouTube Uploaded by Janoise on Jan 11, 2012
"Demo.
The Koma pedal has a gate and a very short delay.
At the end of the delay range the Koma gets in a kind of a bit-crusher sounding effect.
This is not often found at a analog pedal.
This is because Koma has modded the chip!"

102 Rings and Vocals with the Buchla
YouTube Uploaded by 7thDanSound on Jan 11, 2012
"I'm trying the rings on the 222e together with a setting on the 291e for vowel sounds. I just love vocal sounds as you know! And boy am I happy about the presets in the 200e after setting that up :)

NAMM: AtomoSynth Comes to Eurorack
via AtomoSynth
We now know what these teaser pics were for: one, two.
"Hello world... yes... AtomoSynth goes modular, these are our first eurorack modules: KOE and KONEKO.... soon more details!!"
Details on the KONEKO MIDI to CV (KOE will follow):
"Hello world it is the KONEKO eurorack module, it is an affordable Midi to CV converter (Volt per Octave), it is 14HP width and needs +/- 12V, +5V power.
Main features:
CV1 PITCH output 0 to +5 Volt range (5 octaves) it comes from a very accurate 12 bit resolution (4096 steps) digital to analog converter DAC, which translates the incoming midi note messages to voltage. It also responds to the pitch bend or pitch wheel control, according to the midi standard it has a range of +/- two half steps.
Glide effect, it affects the CV1 PITCH output.
Gate output 0 or +5 Volt. it has a red LED that indicates when there is an active gate signal.

CV2 output 0 to +5 Volt range, it comes from a 7 bit resolution (128 steps) digital to analog converter, it can be easily set to output the velocity or any controller CC from the midi device.
PROGRAM button allows you easily set the midi channel just by pushing it and then pushing a note in your midi keyboard, the midi channel will be automatically set and stored even when the unit is turn off. It also allows you to set the controller CC for the CV2 output, just push the Program button and move any controller in your midi device and it will be set automatically.
Midi In and Midi Thru connectors, allows you to connect many midi devices in chain.
available soon... "
Great way to add some color to your system. These glow nicely in black light.
Update: Pics and details on the KOE
"This is the KOE module, it is japanese for "voice" because it is a complete synth voice in just one affordable module, it is 28 HP width and needs +/- 12V power.
Main features:
One VCO with square and ramp wavefoms with depth and tune controls, tune control is a ten turn potentiometer which allows you easily set octave, tune and fine tune with
just one knob.
Noise sourse, it can be set to affect the VCO frequency or it can be mixed with the VCO and audio input.
One LFO with square and triangle waveforms is can be set to affect the VCO frequency or the Filter cut off, it also features an output jack.
High pass and Low pass vactrol based filter with cutoff and resonance/peak control, it also features an input jack to control the cut off frequency.
Two Envelope generators: EG1 with decay control which is set to affect the cut off frequency of the filter and EG2 with attack and release controls, set to affect the volume, it has an output jack and input jack for the incoming gate signal.
Also it features an audio input, it allows process any axternal audio signal with the filter and envelopes."

emotions of the microgarden by folktek
YouTube Uploaded by pianoloft on Sep 27, 2011
"folktek has created a wonderful instrument, called microgarden. it has a great design and sounds really good. i like to play with different kinds of noises, and that strange synth is very useful for that reason. i packed it into a box depicting a mountain and a lake, very kitchy, that´s nice, yeah."
Be sure to see song on the fly with lilian fritz on MATRIXSYNTH-P for something different.

Custom Blue Synth with Orange Knobs
via FFFFOUND!
Anyone know more about this one? It could be an organ. It seems vaguely familiar but I couldn't find a previous post on it. Giving this one a title that is sure to show up in the site's search results. BTW, FFFFOUND! is just an image sharing sight. The image comes from tumblr, but I wasn't able to back track to the source. It does appear real and not photoshopped.
Update: It's the The Subharchord. Via Atomic Shadow in the comments.
"In the course of extensive research on the history of electronic music instruments, in 2000 Manfred Miersch, a Berlin artist and musician, made a truly remarkable discovery: the trautonium is not the only instrument of its kind; another exists that produces subharmonic sounds — the “subharchord”. As described above, this instrument was invented in the GDR, under difficult technical conditions but using the latest technology available. However, the subharchord differs from the mixturtrautonium in key respects. The subharchord has a keyboard and is played like an organ whereas the mixturtrautonium’s manual is a resistor wire over a metal plate, which is pressed at various points to create sound (like a ribbon-controller), a rather difficult procedure. In addition, the subharchord possesses considerably more possibilities than the mixturtrautonium for generating and manipulating sounds..." See the link above for more and the Subharchord label below for additional posts here on MATRIXSYNTH. I knew I recognized it!
