Koma Elektronik

Notes: This is the powered version that includes the case as described here, a Strom+ module, a Strom power supply (AC/DC adapter) and a Strom busboard with connector cable. You only need to plug modules into the case and you're ready to go!

One case fits 84HP of modules with a depth of 70mm.

The cases can be used with an incredible amount of flexibility to swap in an out full rows and create larger setups using the Case Connectors and Case Standoffs.

The side cheeks are made of high-quality Finnish plywood and are coated with a durable transparent melamine film. The black surface is hardwearing and crack resistant as well as easy to clean.

All cases are shipped with a set of 4 rubber feet and 50 x M3 screws.

These new versions (from 2021 onwards) have a hole in the top and bottom face with a black / white plastic plug. This enables you to power extra cases passively without the need for a Strom Passive module. When you remove the plastic plug, you can feed a cable through the hole and directly connect busboards together.

This saves an extra 4HP of your precious modular synthesizer real estate.

Notes: Brilliant experimental box inspired by electroacoustic musicians including John Cage. Signal processing, mixing, sound generation and the ability to send voltages to physical devices like motors and buzzers. Super creative.

Supplier's notes:
The new KOMA Elektronik Field Kit is the perfect tool for everyone who would like to experiment with electro acoustic sound. Use everyday objects, amplify them and use them to make sound, like our heroes John Cage and David Tudor used to do!

The Field Kit is optimized to process signals from microphones, contact microphones, electromagnetic pickups and able to run DC motors and solenoids. On top of that it can receive radio signals and convert signals from switches and sensors into control voltage!

Let's get more detailed...

The Field Kit boasts 7 separate functional blocks all focussed on receiving or generating all types of signals. They are designed to operate together as a coherent electroacoustic workstation or alternatively together with other pieces of music electronics with the ability to use control voltage signals.

The Four Channel Mixer is the beating heart of the Field Kit, providing a fully functional mixer with individual Gain, Mix Level and Tone control over each channel and individual Master- and Aux sub-mixes.

The level of the Master and Aux Channels can be set with the Master Volume and Aux Volume controls and the channels being sent to the Aux sub-mix can be set with dedicated Aux Select-buttons. The Aux sub-mix is pre-fader.

The CV Radio is a CV-controllable radio receiver capable of receiving radio frequencies on AM/FM and SW bands. Additionally it provides the ability to catch electromagnetic waves for further processing inside the Field Kit. The frequency of the radio can be set with a dedicated multifunctional Search-control which acts both as a manual CV-source and as an input attenuator for a CV-signal.

The Envelope Follower in the Field Kit applies two functions to the waveform you send to the input: full-wave rectification (mirroring of negative portions of the waveform) and low-pass filtering (averaging). It can also be used for frequency doubling of a signal, which is a great tool to have in the electroacoustic domain.

The Low Frequency Oscillator generates periodically varying voltages to be used as control signals. The output waveform can be set with a three-position Waveform-control and gives out either a Square-, Triangle- or a mix of Square and Triangle waveforms.

A very cool function of the Field Kit is the DC Interface. You can use its output voltages to run little motors, fans, solenoids, buzzers and control them with control voltage signals. You can pick up the vibrations and electromagnetic waves with the contact microphones and electromagnetic pickup.

The Signal Interface is a nifty toolset to transform the raw signals of a wide variety of sensors and switches into signals that can be used with the Field Kit or other gear. This means you can trigger or control sound by light, heat, humidity, distance, speed, acceleration, proximity, pressure, force, level, all depending on what type of switch or sensor you are using! Ideal for sound installations!

Notes: A starting point for experimental fun, the Field Kit allows you to patch motors, sensors, contact mics and radio signals into your Eurorack system. Get creative!

Supplier's Notes:
Play with Motors, Sensors, Contact Microphones, Radiosignals! The Field Kit was funded through the community at Kickstarter and now available on the KOMA website and elsewhere. The Field Kit is more fun with the right tools! You could add an Expansion Pack!

This is the assembled EURORACK version of the Field Kit.

Includes:

Field Kit Eurorack version
10pin ribbon power cable
4 screws, 4 nylon washers
Book/manual "50 Ways to Use the Field Kit"

Dimensions
36 HP

Current Draw
850 mA +12V

Notes: 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 4cm.

The unit comprises 4 x 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 3 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.
