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.

Hello MrGladstone!
Welcome :)
I understand that it can be confusing.
You are correct if you think that is strange to have one source but two destinations when a patch cable has only two ends.
Nevertheless, you can achieve a signal doubling by using passive multiples modules, passive multiples that are non-eurorack, or even a simple but very useful stackable cable.

Let me know if you need more help:)

Thanks very much for the heads-up! 

I have a couple of stackable cables on the way and am interested to mess around with them. As they seem to be such a key part of the functionality of the unit, it would have been great if they were included in the reverb tank bundle.

Nevertheless the unit is a lot of fun. Im feeding it with a Meng Qi Wingie and finding lots of weird sounds that I love!

Hello Both,
I had the same question when I first took al look at the rockabilly patch in the FKFX manual. But no I understand the you have to split the signal > delay input and >ch1 input. So I ordered some stackable cables to do so. Thanx!

Happy we could help!
Happy patching,

Make sure you’re using the original power supply and disconnect all other modules. If it still won’t start, contact KOMA support—it could be a hardware issue.

Hope that makes sense @ snow rider .

Hey! Great question! For splitting the delay input signal like that, you'd typically use a mult or a stackable cable. These essentially create a "Y" connection.

Hope that makes sense.

In most modular setups, you can split the signal using a passive mult or a stackable cable. That way one output can feed both the delay input and another destination like the VCA.

You’re not actually connecting delay input to two things - it’s just showing the signal flow: source → delay → VCA mixer. @Slope 2
