New KOMA Elektronik CV Controller (Launch at NAMM'13!)

Published on Nov 30, 2012 by KOMA Elektronik

"New developments at the KOMA Elektronik workspace! Yes, you thought the KOMMANDER was cool, look at what's cooking in our kitchen:

This is the first prototype of our new product: the KONTROL SURFACE! A 2-axis touch screen controller! As of now for each channel (X and Y) has:

- 1 x CV output
- 1 x inverted CV output
- Manual gate output

Each channel also has a hold function, so it will hold the current CV value as soon as the hold button is pressed. Not yet implemented but in development is a sort of 'momentary/clocked hold function', that means that a value is only taken and processed according to a provided external clock signal OR without a clock signal attached only when there are changes in the values, so you could lift of your finger from the pad, it will hold the value and as soon as you touch the controller on another point it will start processing again and so on and so forth...

Furthermore we are going to make the Kontrol Surface into a 'Light' and a 'Pro' version. The light version will have all the functionalities as written above and as you can see in the video. The 'Pro' version will have a third axis, which is a capacitive sensor underneath the touch controller measuring the amount of surface covered, i.e. the third dimension (Z). Also the 'Pro' version will be equipped with MIDI functionality, so it can literally control everything!

Both units will be on display and ready for a thorough test drive at NAMM 2013 and will be shipping in the end of Q1 of 2013!"

Bass Bot TT 303 Analog Monophonic Synth - Demo 5

Published on Nov 30, 2012 by DJjondent

"Test no.5 of the Bass Bot TT-303 by Cyclone Analogic.
This is a response to a few questions on how it syncs with other gear.

Here, I've syncronized it with a modified Korg Monotribe and Roland SH 101.
My TB 303 & 606 are being serviced.
I'll test this with them when they are back.

The Midi clock from the Abelton DAW syncs the monotribe.
Midi notes from Abelton fire the tt-303.

The tune is from the 1998 vampire movie "Blade"
http://youtu.be/UUbwTT5Too4
It was originally written by New Order - "Confusion"
Here's the follow up fight scene:
http://youtu.be/yJt2N7LSptg
Even the DJ gets it in the end.:-)

The TT-303 outputs CV/gate to control the SH101.
The Bass Bot thus looks like it could be a good midi to CV converter.

The TT-303 can be purchased from Matt at Rhythm Active In Australia.
