KOMA Elektronik - Development Video - Expression Controller

"### A Description mistake was made while rendering the movie. Instead of "A Vactrol...." it was supposed to say: "Total control over the functions of the KOMA Elektronik pedals with the onboard KOMA Elektronik Expression Controller!"

More information:
http://www.koma-elektronik.com (the official development blog)

All the pedals KOMA Elektronik will release in the fall of 2011 (KOMA BD101, KOMA FT201, KOMA HN104 & KOMA SH103) will have a special innovative expression controller built in which allows the musician to control all the features of the pedal by just moving their foot, hand or any other body part over the bottom of the pedal.

The CV signal of the onboard expression controller will be an output on the patchbay, which is also featured on all the pedals. This way the musican can control all the functions on the pedal without even touching the pedal! For instance, when you use our delay & Gating pedal, the KOMA BD101, you can control the LFO speed, gate amount, delay time & feedback of the effect, while playing your instrument! No need for external expression pedals anymore, with the KOMA FX pedal series it all comes in one package! Total control!

KOMA Elektronik Announce FT201 Vactrol Filter & BD101 Analog Gate / Delay

"KOMA Elektronik announces two brand new effect pedals.
BD101 and FT201 now available for order on the KOMA Elektronik website.

Press Release: Berlin based effects manufacturer KOMA Elektronikhas announced the release of the BD101 Analog Gate / Delay and the FT201 Analog Vactrol State Variable Filter / 10 Step Sequencer. KOMA Elektronik is a young musician run company producing handmade analog effect pedals that produce out of the ordinary sounds. All pedals come with a 10 socket CV / audio patch bay and an on board infrared motion controller able to control all CV features on the pedals.


BD101 – Analog Gate / Delay

The BD101 Analog Gate / Delay is an innovative voltage controlled analog delay in combination with a fully adjustable wide frequency range gate. The BD101 is capable of providing bit crushing effects, resonant frequencies, fast shifts between heavy delayed and cranked up sounds and super short pulses, with whatever instrument you want to plug into it. With the on board infrared expression controller the user is able to override / control all the front panel controls by moving their hands or feet over it, which makes the pedal a versatile and powerful tool for use live or in the studio. The BD101 can be used as a standalone pedal, but is also ready to be used in combination with other KOMA Elektronik pedals and, for instance, a (modular) synthesizer through the 10-socket audio and CV patch bay. The on board infrared expression controller can also be used as a standalone feature.

The CV and audio patch bay allows control of Gate Speed, Gate Amount, Delay Time, Delay Feedback and gives the possibility to synchronize the pedal with an external clock signal. It also gives the possibility to make an external effects loop which allows the user to send out the processed feedback signal, run it through other effects and feed it back into the pedal.

Additional features include:

Slide controls for Input Gain and Delay Blend for more control while playing

On board infrared expression controller, can be used as a standalone CV feature

CV control for Gate Speed, Gate Amount, Delay Time and Delay Feedback

CV input for External Clock signals and synchronization with other KOMA Elektronik pedals

CV attenuators on the back of the pedal to fine-tune the CV inputs

Send/Return Insert for external processing of BBD Feedback signals

A wide frequency range Gate / Amplitude Modulation; choose between High, Mid and Low

Multiple Gate shapes; Ramp, Pulse and Sawtooth.

FT201 – Analog Vactrol State Variable Filter / 10 Step Sequencer

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.

Additional features include:

Three filter outputs; Bandpass, Low pass and High pass, which all work simultaneously

Slide controls for Input Gain and Resonance for more control while playing

On board infrared expression controller, can be used as a standalone CV feature

CV control for Resonance, Sequencer Reset, Cutoff

CV input for External Clock signals and synchronization with other KOMA Elektronik pedals

CV attenuators on the back of the pedal to fine-tune the CV inputs

Availability and pricing:

The BD101 is available for order from the KOMA Elektronik website for 329,00 EUR incl. 19% VAT (only for EU countries)
The FT201 is available for order from the KOMA Elektronik website for 349,00 EUR incl. 19% VAT (only for EU countries)

Both pedals come with a KOMA power supply and user manual. Shipping is free of charge.

KOMA Elektronik RH301 as a master clock

Published on Oct 18, 2013 KOMA Elektronik·44 videos

"In this video we show the KOMA RH301 as a master clock for a small mixed MIDI and analog clock setup. The master clock signal of the RH301 is routed from MIDI OUT to the MIDI IN of the JOMOX XBase 09, of which the MIDI THRU is connected to the KORG Volca keys. The audio of the KORG Volca keys is being modulated and filtered by the KOMA Elektronik FT201 Filter / Sequencer, using the RH301's clock, LFO and envelope generator outputs.
