NAMM: KOMA Elektronik "YouTube yourself!" Competition & Videos

via KOMA Elektronik:

"A lot of buzzing going on in the KOMA office. While our colleague Wouter is going off to NAMM next week to present our effects pedals plus our new Eurorack Motion Sensor Controller, called the KOMMANDER, to the states, we are still running our "YouTube yourself!" competition until sunday the 15th.

Customers are asked to film their KOMA pedal in action and can win a KOMAnizer kit, a special noise drone synth that we usually use for workshops only. A lot of nice videos have come in so far. But we'd love to see more. So please spread the word! Here's a collection of some of the submissions so far:"

Koma Elektronik BD101 with DSI Tempest and BugBrand Modular

YouTube Uploaded by d4nnyp on Dec 29, 2011

"Messing about with my newly acquired Koma Elektronik BD101 analogue delay pedal.
Beat is from DSI tempest, left channel through BD101 right channel through Mixer. Modular is doing a simple bass noise sequenced from dividers. An envelope clocked with 16ths is controlling the BD101 gate, joystick controls the decay length of the envelope. Modular 8 step Sequencer clocked slowly from dividers is controlling the delay time on the BD101 and the feedback is controlled by the BD101 motion sensor. The additional delay and reverb are from a Roland RE-301.
Its all a lot of fun!!"

"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!"

NAMM: FEELTUNE Announces Rhizome SXE & Rhizome LE

"FEELTUNE will announce two new products at NAMM 2012

Rhizome, roots of the future

Rhizome SXE™ and Rhizome LE™ Now Available for order and on display at NAMM 2012

WHEN:
2012 January 19-22
9 a.m. to 6 p.m.
WHERE:
Anaheim, California, HALL E, Booth 1633

WHAT:
Last year, Feeltune released a new product at the 2011 NAMM show, the Rhizome, a computer-based groove machine compatible with VST and VSTi plugins. All of this come wrapped in a super ergonomic and exquisitely designed machine, which offers numerous controls, and four large 24bit screens displays for better visibility. One instrument as a one full integrated solution, offers a great workflow for the best user experience.

Powered by a Microsoft© embedded system, the Rhizome is compatible with 99% of VST plugins. All plugins run on the Rhizome OS, a VST plug-in host and pattern-based sequencer that offers several

features: sampler, virtual mixing desk, multi-effects, real-time and step-tracks, total recall, control assignation and many more.

In 2012, only one year after his first successful product on the market, Feeltune is proud to present the next generation in the Rhizome range. Our team has worked hard to satisfy the top quality requirements of ours users, and we’re proud to announce these two new products:

Rhizome SXE
With a powerful embedded computer, new dark gray color and a new 8 I/O balanced output; the new model of Rhizome is designed for musicians and producers who need the best “all-in-one” solution in the market. Powered by an optimized Windows 7 embedded system, that Rhizome is ready for the future.

Rhizome LE
Like the Rhizome, is big brother, this model has numerous controls and very large display areas, making it a perfect controller. The difference lies in the fact that the LE version does not have an embedded computer system and must therefore be connected to a -Windows or OSX - computer."
