			<description><![CDATA[Hi, many of us have experienced the Divisions knob loosing functionality when updating the OS on older Koma Komplex Sequencers.<br />
<br />
I got these instructions from Christian at Koma with the permission to share them on this forum.<br />
<br />
 Boot into the Testsoftware<br />
• To boot into the Testsoftware hold the following buttons while powering the machine:<br />
• STEP - GLIDE - SSP - GATE<br />
• This will bring you to the "Color Setting Menu" (check the manual if you're interested in changing your colors)<br />
But there is a hidden division calibration too! To enter the correct menu for calibrating your divisions press and hold MODE, then press the first step button (step 1) on all four sequencers. This will bring up the "light show" that we use for testing LEDs. Now press and hold MODE and press step 6 on all four sequencers. Now you're in the Division calibration mode for each sequencer. To set them do the following:<br />
<br />
1. Turn the `Divisions` knob to counter-clockwise, until it can't move anymore (to the :32 division).<br />
2. Press the left most `Step` button (Step 1). The LED of the slider above should light up / move to that position.<br />
3. Turn the `Divisions` knob one position further clock-wise. Press the `Step` button to right of the last one that you clicked (now Step 2). The LED of the slider above should light up. (This saves the position of the knob.)<br />
4. Repeat steps 3 until all the knob doesn't move anymore. (You are doing it right, if the LEDs light up from left to right.)<br />
5. Press the `One-Shot Mode` button of the sequencer you just calibrated to save the configuration to the EEPROM, so it is saved after the unit has been turned off. Now all the LEDs in the row should light up. Wait until only one LED lights up again.<br />
6. Move the `Divisions` knob. The LEDs should now move with the position of that knob. Check if every position of the knob has one LED light up. If not, repeat steps 1 to 5.<br />
<br />
You need to repeat this for every sequencer (sorry). And then your divisions should work again. Sorry for the hassle. But really it doesn't take very long and will make your Divisions more stable than ever before.<br />
<br />
<br />
--<br />
<br />
that's it - hopefully this thread can help you if you get stuck like me :)<br />

			<description><![CDATA[Hi,<br />
I hope I've just blown a fuse on my Strom PSU. PSU was indicating green (OK) before the issue. After swapping 2 modules it came on briefly then shut down. Now shut down completely with nothing connected. <br />
I was going to order the replacements from you but was shocked by the 21 Euro shipping fee to the UK. Can I get the same fuse in the UK?<br />
If so what is the specification? Can I get the manual as well as it's not on the website.]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[Help, please! The DC interface on my Field Kit is not working. It refuses to activate either motors (via PWM) or solenoids (via Pulse). The CV/Trigger does respond to the signal from the LFO (IE the two LEDs flash in unison) but no combination of intensities or LFO ranges can persuade motors to turn or solenoids to fire. (A little DC motor that will wildly spin when connected to a 6V battery makes only the tiniest of clicking sounds when attached to the interface). I can measure a voltage of just under 6V at the peak of the PW pulse. Any ideas what is going on and how I can fix it?]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[Basically, when I patch the CV of sequencer B into sequencer A's transpose port, it ALSO transposes sequencer C.  But it only transposes C by a half-step up or down total (in other words, it seems like the voltage transposing C where it shouldn't isn't as strong as normal, like it's getting a small amount of the voltage getting sent to sequencer A, if that's even possible! )<br />
<br />
I have on of the new MIDI-transposing Komplexes  if that makes a difference.  <br />
<br />
I'm only sending clock from Logic to Sequencer A in this case, so I have no idea why B is also sending CV to a second sequencer when it's only patched to A.  <br />
<br />
Any help?<br />
<br />
I tried resetting the Komplex and this didn't fix it.]]></description>

Since a few days my FM radius is dead for most of the time.<br />
Sometimes it works again, but when I restart my rack next day it’s dead again.<br />
<br />
Ive tried several power cablws. PSU is far from beeing overloaded.<br />
<br />
Any idea what to check next?<br />
<br />
Thanks]]></description>

I'm wondering what the current status is on pre-orders for the second production run of the Chromaplane? Will they hit the store and be available for regular purchase or is it another limited run offered to early purchasers?<br />

			<description><![CDATA[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! <br />
<br />
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. <iframe width="560" height="315" src="//www.youtube-nocookie.com/embed/6PTcOfhwfv0" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen="true"></iframe><br />
<br />
I can hear it from the Filter Out as well, but not from the Env out. <br />
<br />
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. <br />
<br />
Any ideas what might be the culprit? Or is this the intended functionality?]]></description>
