  Field kit fx delay broken
Posted by: PhC - 12-22-2023, 09:03 PM - Forum: Main Forum - Replies (11)

Hello, 
My field kit fx delay has suddenly stopped working. Signal going thru isn’t delayed anymore with no feedback. Manual and Cv control of time and fdb parameters do affect sound but not as expected.
It seems like a hardware problem tho I haven’t notice anything unusual while inspecting pcb.
I tried to cleaned everything also with a contact cleaner.
No luck.

Have anyone here experienced this issu? 
Any solution?

I sent an email to Koma to ask for repair but I they say they currently only support for issues under warranty…
I bought that thing more than 2 years ago… :/

  Inverse Solenoid Spring Problem
Posted by: dekonstruktiv - 11-29-2023, 02:31 PM - Forum: Main Forum - No Replies

hi everyone,

i recently baught a Field Kit and a Field Kit Expansion Pack and just got around to experimenting a bit. 

it appears to me that i'm experiencing a sort of inverse phenomenon with the solenoid motor from what is described in the FAQ. i'm connecting the solenoid to the field kit like so:
[Image: koma.jpg]

the solenoid is only reacting to the oulse when i preload the spring a bit. please see the short clip showcasing the phenomenon: https://www.dekonstruktiv.org/temp/koma.mp4

it does not seem to be the exact spring tension problem described in the FAQ, since preloading the spring like showcased in the clip should ADD spring tension. i'd be grateful for any pointers as to what's going on here and how to mitigat the problem. my current solution is to thread a couple of mini washers on the non-spring end of the actuator rod to keep the spring preloaded, but i'd like to come to grips wuith what's going on here.

thanks.

  Koma BD101
Posted by: John - 11-07-2023, 12:34 PM - Forum: Main Forum - Replies (1)

Hello Komanauts,

Hope someone can help me with a BD101 analog/gate pedal.
one or more the opp-amps seems to be broken, but thera are 4 of it.

symptome: Gate and Delay are working, but at very low level. As soon as I give more gain with the gain-slider it become even weaker to zero. 

Does anyone have a circuit diagram or measuring advise familiar with this problem?  So I can figure where to find.

Any idease are welcome to let this sound schredder schream again.

  Saving CV allocation over power cycle
Posted by: Mazzyboy - 11-05-2023, 10:11 AM - Forum: Main Forum - Replies (1)

Is there any way to save the CV modulation assignment on the field kit fx? The colour coded CV allocation is really clever, but it seems to reset on a power cycle - Meaning I need to take a photo at the end of each session, and then set CV assignment again each time I power it on...

If this isn't possible at the moment, would it be possible via a firmware update? (Some other settings seem to be saved over a power cycle). Please consider this as a feature request.

  Komplex Mk1 power - 12vAC or 9vDC?
Posted by: DannyMcO - 10-28-2023, 02:06 AM - Forum: Main Forum - Replies (3)

Hello @9bar, @chrisi and the ladies & gentlemen of team Koma Elektonik.

I just bought a Komplex Mk1 with a serial # in the first 60; it was purchased from a user in the EU, and I'm in the USA - so the adapter the seller enclosed is unusable here.

The unit itself plainly states AC 12V where the adapter would plug in on the unit; no polarity is mentioned (as would be expected for AC).  However, the power supply listed on the site as being the correct one for the unit is 9v DC, 2A, center negative.

Did the power requirements change? Am I going to damage my unit by using what, to my non-electronics-engineer's eyes, looks like a different adapter than the unit's writing seems to indicate?

Separately - will the firmware continue to be updated on the Mk1's as well as the MK2's, and if so, are any feature enhancements or new capabilities being contemplated to add to the Mk1's?

And is there a timeline on when Mk1 owners can expect to see upgrade instructions to get the MK2 functionality?

Thanks a bunch, ladies & gents of Koma Elektronik!

  Field Kit FX turbo channel
Posted by: Russek - 10-11-2023, 06:58 PM - Forum: Main Forum - Replies (2)

Hi, both the sound quality and the gain boost on channel 4 preamplifier incorporated in the Field Kit FX are amazing, I use several contact microphones and need more preamplification channels, could you share information about the circuit used or some guidance to build or buy preamps with same performance?
Best,

  Elektron Digitakt x Koma Field Kit
Posted by: jurrealism - 09-27-2023, 05:41 AM - Forum: Main Forum - Replies (1)

Hi All,

I have a short (maybe a bit stupid) question about the Field Kit. I consider buying the amazing device ‘field kit’ for experimentation and a small live-setup. Together with the field kit I would like to use my digitakt by elektron. As far I can see, the field kit doesn’t include a midi input. Is there a way to connect the digitakt to the field kit. I want to use the digitakt for drums/ sequence. The field kit funtions as a ambient machine.

Please let me know if you have an answer for this. Thank you in advance! 

Greeting,
J

My Field Kit FX is having issues with the Master Output, which I believe is simply a damaged minijack.

Any recommendations where to buy a like for like component(s)?

Thanks!
