KOMA Elektronik - FT201- Analog State Variable Filter / 10 Step Sequencer

YouTube Uploaded by KOMAelektronik on Jul 25, 2011

"Our buddy Gerald played around with two FT201's (our Analog Filter / 10 Step Sequencer) and crappy but lovely old Moog Satellite synth. A little insight in the general sound, IR motion controller, filter and sequencer functions.

^^^^^^

The FT201 Analog Filter / 10-Step Sequencer is our innovative voltage controlled vactrol state variable filter combined with a 10 step sequencer. The FT201 is capable of providing ultra low and high frequency filter effects which are controllable with the on board infrared expression controller, which allows the user to create filter sweeps by moving their feet or hands over the pedal. The FT201 has 3 different filter outputs: bandpass, low pass and high pass, which all work simultaneously. The cutoff frequency range is very large, between 20 Hz and 20 kHz and because of the vactrols used the sound quality is superb. The 10 Step Sequencer runs through the selected amount of steps (2 -- 10 steps) and adds the control voltage to the value set by the Cutoff knob, thus modulating the cutoff frequency in every step.

Just like the BD101, the FT201 can be used as a stand alone pedal, linked to other KOMA Elektronik effect pedals or as a controller for a (modular) synthesizer or other CV receptive electronic instruments. The CV and audio patch bay allows control of the Resonance, Sequencer Reset, Cutoff and gives the user the possibility to synchronize the pedal with an external clock signal."

The Loud Objects (NYC) live at KOMA Elektronik Nerd Out

YouTube Published on Jun 20, 2012 by KOMAelektronik

"On June 7th, Berlin based effect manufacturer KOMA Elektronik hosted their first event in Berlin: the KOMA Nerd Out at their favorite hang-out O Tannenbaum in Neukoelln. Playing that night were DJWJ, Canadian Analog Video Synth magician Stan Stancil and NYC collective The Loud Object, who soldered a circuit on a overhead projector...

THE LOUD OBJECTS (USA)

The Loud Objects create electronic noise with minimal components: microchips, a power jack, an audio jack, and wire. The group solders custom audio circuits live, creating audible fluctuations of electricity with these bare elements. Gradually building a complex sound circuit, they present electronic music in a form closer to a physical instrument than a laptop. Their performances invite the audience to bear conscious witness to each musical gesture: the addition of a microchip; the soldering of an output pin to the audio jack.

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!"

Jimmy Edgar Studio Visit

YouTube Published on Aug 6, 2012 by KOMA Elektronik

"On a nice summer day the KOMA Elektronik team visited endorsed artist Jimmy Edgar at his studio in the Friedrichshain district of Berlin to talk synths, effects, and analog production techniques! See Jimmy patch his monster Eurorack synthesizer and rock the Kommander!

Jimmy Edgar is an established player in the Detroit and Berlin techno scene. He is not only a great music producer (releases on Warp Records, !K7, Poker Flat, etc.) and an awarded fashion photographer, he is also a modular synthesizer fanatic. His obsession for analogue electronics made him and us come together. Check out his new record Majenta and you know why we dig his stuff!

KOMA Elektronik - BD101 prototype - Musikmesse 2011

YouTube Uploaded by KOMAelektronik on Apr 10, 2011

"Christian from KOMA Elektronik shows the prototype of the KOMA BD101 Analog Gate and Delay at the 2011 Musikmesse in Frankfurt, Germany.

KOMA BD101: Mangle and cut your sound apart with an innovative vactrol controlled analog delay circuit in combination with a fully adjustable wide range frequency gate. It sounds like you're playing your instrument on the porch outside of your house and inside your amp is slowly sinking in the toilet, CV controlled of course. This might sound strange, but that's just what this pedal is about: create weird resonant frequencies, shift between heavy delayed sounds and super short pulses, with whatever instrument you want to plug into it. The BD101 comes standard with a solid footswitch, multiple inputs, an audio and control voltage patchbay and our new innovative expression controller."

SVF-201 Analogue State Variable Filter Module

Published on Oct 12, 2012 by KOMA Elektronik

"The KOMA Elektronik SVF-201 is a state variable filter for the Eurorack modular synthesizer system. Its filter circuit is built up with optical parts (Vactrols) therefor delivering excellent studio audio quality and an unique warm analogue sound. The module uses parallel mounted PCBs so it can be used in skiffs as well as in big cases, the total depth is less than 4 cm.

The unit comprises 4 audio outputs that can be used independently of each other at the same time, a High Pass, Band Pass, Low Pass and the unique first ever CV'able Mix Pass out. The Mix Pass out let's you sweep continuously through the other three outputs by means of a knob and control voltage.

The SVF-201 offers an amazing sounding filter together with a well designed user friendly surface; a professional feeling inviting you to play it real good.
