The best feature of all the FR sequencers (well, besides all the CV outs) is chaining groups of patterns in the same bank on the fly, IMHO. Start the sequence under the first button, one bar loop. Hold one and press 3, three bar loop. While that is playing, hold 4, press 7, when that 3-bar ends, it ...

I have a Buddha Bud-Wah with a really wide range that I like a lot, it keeps finding its way back onto the board. I also built a BYOC wah, it's got a bit more honk to it, still a great pedal (and an easy build). I went through a dozen envelope filters. Meatball (too hard to dial in), DoD (useless), ...

Big fan. I'm over complaining about the lyrics, it's all just prankster shit, like that one chapter in every Pynchon book that dares you to give up and stop reading. I have favorite shows and songs from the 1.0 era that I re-spin, but I don't really listen back to current live sets unless I was ther...

The only MIDI guitar I ever played that tracked worth a damn was a Parker Midifly. Basically unobtanium these days and I'm angry I ever sold it.

[Edited to add: Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaand I just noticed what subforum this is in. So most of what I listed has zero applicability to the actual topic at hand. Forgive me, do carry on.] Analog hardware, I'm not convinced anything can do it all. What I have now includes: * Koma Komplex - Com...

The only component I have ever had to replace in decades of Frac usage is a jack on a SuperVCA (the one on the little daughtercard) that I fucked up all by myself during construction. I replaced the daughtercard with a set of flying wires and the module doesn't care or know the difference. All of my...

Oh! For my purposes: 2-12 inclusive, 16, 24, 32, 48, 60, 64.

I always thought prime divisors would be awesome, but in reality, 2/3/5/7/11 are the only ones I ever needed.

Oh, yeah. Is this the part where I mention that pretty much every VCS/281/Envelator type AD/R envelope can be used as a divider? By design the A stage *always* finishes, but the D will re-trigger. So you can feed in a clock, set decay to 0 (or use the End/Square output if your version of the circuit...

If you decide you want to part with that Binary Zone, Splitter, and...is that a Bananalogue VCS? Holla at me. I'm verrrrrrry interested!

I use my Blacet Binary Zones exclusively as dividers, not for pitch or other stepped CV reasons. Turning a 16th note clock input into a four bar 50% duty cycle pulse wave to flip a crossfader or switch is a vital compositional tool! Or slew the output for a rock solid synced and clocked LFO. Plus yo...

Anyone know the final manufacturing count? I know they shipped out the first hundred, but how many were made thereafter?

if you have any questions, feel free to post here or PM me directly. I've been spending a lot of time w. the Komplex and have been in regular contact with the Koma folks, asking questions, suggesting changes, etc. Thank you! I've been watching these since the announcement, I am psyched to finally g...

Oh HOORAY this absolutely rules.

I don't know why they would even include the chromatic scale? What are you going to use that for? That button should be converted to scale options. Major and Minor, and as you may or may not know contain EXACTLY the same interval set. :hmm: The chromatic scale, as you may or may not know, contains ...

"Where did you learn to say 'soon' like this?" "From Waldorf! I learned it from Waldorf!" [Exits room in tears.] [Looks at his low-serial-number Q] ...feeling seen, if not personally attacked. Anyway now that the Komplex is discontinued and there is no danger of future unfulfilled OS update promise...

I *loved* the laughing parts. Totally didn't expect that, then couldn't stop going back for more.

Here is part 2 of the modular jam I performed for some pals as part of a 30 hour streaming psychonaut freakout. This bit, 38 minutes, went on at 4am. It starts kind of slow but is rolling by the 10 minute mark. Pretty much exclusively Wiard 300 modular except for the dual Zeroscillator and the Orgon...

I am in awe, sir. AWE.

I would double the size of my case and get 12! Seriously, I would. Um, did. Have.

Keep all 8. You can use the Borg as two LFOs and two VCAs. The Bug is your clock source in addition to everything else it can do to liven up your patches.

So a friend of mine, part of a concert-going crew of a couple hundred across 20 states, organized a 30 hour stream of DJ and music performances to take the place of an annual gathering we had to cancel because of COVID19. He asked me to make a soundtrack for the late night portion of the event, then...

I have 4 pomona cable hangers full of Ad Infinitum cables in all lengths from 6" to 5' (those were custom). No issues whatsoever. Used to cross connect Wiard 300 to my Euro rig, don't have euro anymore.

I dunno, I have LoveSymbol ranked higher than LoveSexy and neither is #1.

If I *insist* that every voice have at least one envelope, a VCA, and a sequencing source, and all voices have a filter of some kind, no West-ish complex osc no-filter voices, then...15. I would need to take over every input on the patch bay to sum all those voices to the main studio mixer, but it's...

Me too!
