A Very Unusual Analog Synthesizer

video upload by HAINBACH

"The Chromaplane by Duo Passepartout and Koma Elektronik is an oddity: it is an experimental analog synth that does not have a keyboard or MIDI, but instead it is played with telephone coil pickups. A beautifully unique idea thatl found success on Kickstarter, funding within minutes. I got to play with the pre-series model for a week."

See the SUPERBOOTH video here.

"Official DEMO video for the Chromaplane, a novel polyphonic analog synthesizer developed by KOMA Elektronik and Passepartout Duo.

The Chromaplane is designed around ten tunable electromagnetic fields that are emitted from its sleek aluminum surface. The experience of playing it combines the immediacy of an acoustic instrument, with the endless possibilities of electronic music.

Coming soon on Kickstarter!"

"A novel polyphonic electromagnetic instrument developed by KOMA Elektronik and Passepartout Duo. In this video we show a few interesting techniques for the Chromaplane."

0:00 - Internal filter CV - long delay time with some feedback
0:56 - long delay time with 100% feedback
1:40 - sound texture using the pickups horizontally
2:04 - pickup as pendulum with melodic line
2:48 - internal filter CV - short delay with lots of feedback
3:47 - envelope follower controls the filter CV
4:42 - feedback patch to external input
5:30 - Buddha machine as external input
6:07 - Field Kit radio scanning controlled by envelope out
6:54 - playing with four pickups using the Field Kit's mixer

SUPERBOOTH 2024: Koma Elektronik - Chromaplane Electromagnetic Synth

video upload by sonicstate

"At Superbooth 2024, Chris showcased the Chromaplane*, an electromagnetic synthesizer developed with the support of *KOMA Electronic*. The instrument features 10 electromagnetic fields emitting from specific points on its surface, which are played using two pickup coils. The sound is detected by the coils, passing through a low pass filter and delay, creating a unique modulation effect. Additionally, the *Chroma Plane includes an envelope follower output and an external input for playing external audio sources.

The concept of the Chroma Plane originated from Chris's experience as a musician and visual artist, leading to the development of a smaller version of the instrument for live performances. After more than 100 concerts worldwide, Chris and KOMA are working towards making the Chroma Plane available as a commercial product in the coming months. Stay tuned to the Koma website for updates."

"KOMA Elektronik & Passepartout Duo are collaborating on a new standalone instrument called the Chromaplane.

Are you ready to start a new journey together?

The Chromaplane features a touchless interface, organic analog sounds, and an intuitive way of playing, all made possible by invisible electromagnetic fields. It combines the expressivity of traditional acoustic instruments, with the endless experimentation of electronic sound design.

Passepartout Duo has been road testing the Chromaplane in their performance setup for a while, and now we’re finally at the last stages of development. In the next month, we’ll be revealing more information about this unique instrument, so…

…think about making some space in your studio!
