Conduit was also released as a desktop synth. You can filter through previous posts here for more info and demos.

"*note that due to an error in manufacturing, the mounting holes have had to be routed - the oblong holes are slightly longer than standard.

Conduit is a delay, filter, and 9 point harmonic oscillation module which creates three independent signal paths that can be inter-mixed how you like. It's also capable of jumping directly into the circuitry of Matter for processing. The root circuitry is based on the conduit desktop piece which is no longer in production.

Delay

At it's root Conduit is a delay with a warm, analog sound which is clean at tight times and tending toward something disgusting and noisy and slower times. External audio or internal oscillation can be processed by the delay. When multiple oscillation points are mixed, the delay feedback gets distorted and noisy. As a delay it serves best as a source of texture.

Filter

The Delay travels into a state-variable filter with fixed resonance. A clean signal passing by the delay will still be filtered. The filter has a vactrol-based cv in to control the cutoff. So this filter receiving voltage control is very wormy in nature. It's best to multiply and mix a signal going into Conduit if it's to be used for processing - giving you the filtered and unfiltered version.

Oscillation

The purpose of this module is not simply as a delay or a filter - these are just components to a greater whole. With Conduit, aspects of the giant delay IC processing are accessed as a series of sound sources - harmonic oscillations based on the clocking of the delay. Therefore, delay time is the same as master pitch for these oscillations (also represented by "time cv"). There are a total of 8 harmonic oscillations and one noise source. All 9 points representing audio level harmonic oscillations are represented by a 9x4 female header so that each of these points or multiple points can be used as a sound source. Using Resist alongside allows one to control the level of the oscillation.

KOMA Elektronik: Building the Komplex Sequencer, Firmware Update & Knowledge Base

Published on May 6, 2016 KOMA Elektronik

"On a sunny day in our Berlin office, production manager Benjamin takes us through the assembly and testing of the Komplex sequencer. Beginning from parts laid out on the table to the final enclosure being put together.

"New Firmware Update and Knowledge Base for the Komplex Sequencer
A new workshop video shows how the KOME Elektronik Komplex Sequencer is build.

BERLIN, Germany – MAY 6st 2016

The crew here at KOMA Elektronik is happy to announce a new firmware update (Version 1.3 Flower Power) for our flagship product Komplex Sequencer. We’ve been listening closely to the feedback of our users and we’re always hard at work to make the workflow of the Komplex Sequencer even better by bringing more updates. In this latest firmware update for the Komplex Sequencer, we have addressed a couple of bugs and added two new useful features.

Here are the changes / new features at a glance:

Divisions can now be changed smoothly by the rotary knob and CV, staying in time with the clock without any jumps in between division settings.
Repeats saved on the previous power-down of the sequencer are not overwritten on first playback when powered up again.
Added a menu to display the firmware version.
Added a manual save function for all selections made in the Section Controls.
Fixed issue when ratcheting repeats did not fit into one step length. Now if the number of ratcheting repeats is still too long to fit within the period of one step, the repeats are automatically limited and overwritten for that step.

For more detailed information and a the firmware update download, please visit the KOMA Elektronik website.

New Knowledge Base

As development of new sequencer firmware updates is constantly on the move, we decided to add a new section to our website called “Komplex Sequencer Knowledge Base,” where we will present an updated overview of all features of the Komplex Sequencer, including example patches, more technical information and over time videos of specific functions. Please follow this link to visit the new Knowledge Base."

In 1974 I purchased a new miniMoog, a Moog Sample and Hold and a Moog Ribbon Controller. This 32 page catalog came with them. I have never used it. It has been in a filing cabinet all this time. Has been carefully stored in a smoke-free and pet-free environment for over forty years. See pictures. (Note: some of the text has been deliberately blurred in three of the photographs.) This is in PRISTINE CONDITION. If you own a vintage Moog Sample and Hold or a Moog Ribbon Controller, this is for you. VERY RARE. PRICED TO SELL."

"This is version 1 of the ring modulator effects box from Frostwave. Signal-in and signal-out jacks on the back of the unit. The first three knobs on the face control input level, wet/dry mix, and output level and the center knob controls the internal oscillator frequency. The right jack on the face of the unit bypasses the oscillator and provides a signal-in to modulate the main signal, and I believe the left jack is a CV-in to control the internal oscillator. 14v AC power supply included."
