I just got my Chromaplane yesterday! (Backer 250) So exciting! It's a lot of fun and a great instrument. And all the extra attention to small details is very nice. I especially loved the included photo with message! 

Anyway, one thing I'm wondering about is that when I plug the Chromaplane into my mixer from the delay out, without either pickup plugged in, I can hear all the oscillators playing at once, faintly, but there's definitely a hum. I can hear it at even the slightest volume levels, and it of course goes up with an increase in volume. I tried several cables, and I tried two mixers, my Soundcraft, and the Field Kit mixer as well. I also moved the Chromaplane around on my desk in case something was interfering. But no change. 

I can hear it from the Filter Out as well, but not from the Env out. 

I tried plugging in headphones instead, and I couldn't hear the sound then, but that might just be due to the headphones not having any additional amplification. 

Any ideas what might be the culprit? Or is this the intended functionality?

Hi it says that an external antenna can be used for the FM Radius module but doesn't specify how to connect. Is it just a specific gauge of unshielded wire? Can someone provide some guidance here? Thanks in advance!

Is the speaker out on the field kit not working a known thing? Or am I just unlucky?
Got my field kit a couple of weeks ago and it all seemed fine. I got the expansion kit today, plugged the speaker in and nothing. The speaker itself is working, I've tested it with other things.
Now looking at having to return the field kit, but if this is going to be a recurring thing then I would be as well getting my money back.

I've been having no success getting one sequencer to change the sequence length of another; Sending CV out to the SEQ LGTH input should alter the sequence length, shouldn't it?  I have also tried GATE out and that doesn't alter it either. 

I have set the output ranges from 5v and 9v and still can't get it to work.

I'd love some guidance.

Hi everyone.  Glad to have found this place! 

I have a really basic question for you guys. I have never used a patched system before so am lacking some basic knowledge. Hopefully you can help!

On many patch examples (Patch 1 Rockabilly etc), the diagram shows:

 audio signal > delay input. Delay input > CH 1 VCA mixer.

My question is: how is this achieved? Only one patch point (delay input) but two source/destinations? How can delay input be connected to two sources simultaneously?


Hope that makes sense.

Hi All,

I am trying to chain the 4 sequencers together to achieve a 64 step sequence.  I am using Logic to send MIDI clock.  MIDI clock is sent to the first sequencer and then patched down the chain so they are all synced. All four sequencers are in one-shot mode and are triggered by EOS->Start. 

The problem is: there is a slight delay from one sequencer to the next however, meaning that the 64 step cycle does not align to project, with each 16 steps being either a bit behind or ahead of the tempo.  

I have experimented with both lit and unlit for EOS mode and this doesn't correct it. 

I hope I have explained this clearly; am I missing something, or is this a Logic-Komplex MIDI clock issue?

Is any one else having issues with this FW3.1 update like I am? My Komplex sequencer is suffering from division/note rate knobs not working. As in the sequencers running at a 32 note value speed rate only and division knobs not changing the rate(s). Also sequencers C/D not outputting info/data while running. Settings  on all sequencer Midi Mode are identical on all four, yet A/B output data while C/D do not. All of this occurred after the FW update from 2.3 to FW 3.1.  Any ideas/suggestions would be appreciated in getting it back to work. regards and Thanks jp

Hey,

I own the Field Kit + Field Kit FX and I'm getting more and more into experimenting.

Is it possible to multiply the DC output? I would like to use several motors at the same time.

Thank you

Hi!
I decided to add an FX Kit to my Eurorack case, but it doesn't power on from the ribbon cable.
When I switch the jumpers to 9V, it works fine from the power adapter.
The ribbon cable works — other modules power on from it without any issues.
The problem is definitely with the FX Kit itself.

Can you advise on how to make it work?

Hallo,
When reconverting my F K FX from Eurorack to box many of the little rubber tubes that hold the LED’s transparent plastic in place  were lost or ruined. 
Can I buy new ones from Koma Elektronik or can domeone point me to somewhere in the UK where I can buy some suitable tubes? Many thanks in advance
Andrea
