Koma Elektronik Releases BD101 & FT201

Berlin based effects manufacturer KOMA Elektronik has announced the release of the BD101 Analog Gate/Delay and the FT201 Analog Vactrol State Variable Filter/10 Step Sequencer.

All pedals come with a 10 socket CV / audio patch bay and an on board infrared motion controller able to control all CV features on the pedals.

BD101 – Analog Gate / Delay

The BD101 Analog Gate / Delay is a voltage controlled analog delay in combination with an adjustable wide frequency range gate. The BD101 is designed to be capable of providing bit crushing effects, resonant frequencies, shifts between delayed and cranked up sounds and short pulses, with any instrument you plug into it. With the on board infrared expression controller the user is able to override / control the front panel controls by moving their hands or feet over it. The BD101 can be used as a standalone pedal, but is also ready to be used in combination with other KOMA Elektronik pedals and, for instance, a (modular) synthesizer through the 10-socket audio and CV patch bay. The on board infrared expression controller can also be used as a standalone feature.

The CV and audio patch bay allows control of Gate Speed, Gate Amount, Delay Time, Delay Feedback and gives the possibility to synchronize the pedal with an external clock signal. It also gives the possibility to make an external effects loop which allows the user to send out the processed feedback signal, run it through other effects and feed it back into the pedal.

Additional features include:

Slide controls for Input Gain and Delay Blend
On board infrared expression controller, can be used as a standalone CV feature
CV control for Gate Speed, Gate Amount, Delay Time and Delay Feedback
CV input for External Clock signals and synchronization with other KOMA Elektronik pedals
CV attenuators on the back of the pedal to fine-tune the CV inputs
Send/Return Insert for external processing of BBD Feedback signals
A wide frequency range Gate / Amplitude Modulation; choose between High, Mid and Low
Multiple Gate shapes; Ramp, Pulse and Sawtooth.

FT201 – Analog Vactrol State Variable Filter / 10 Step Sequencer

The FT201 Analog Filter / 10-Step Sequencer is a voltage controlled vactrol state variable filter combined with a 10 step sequencer. The FT201 is capable of providing low and high frequency filter effects which are controllable with the on board infrared expression controller, which allows the user to create filter sweeps by moving their feet or hands over the pedal. The FT201 has 3 different filter outputs: bandpass, low pass and high pass, which can all work simultaneously. The cutoff frequency range is large, between 20 Hz and 20 kHz. The 10 Step Sequencer runs through the selected amount of steps (2 – 10 steps) and adds the control voltage to the value set by the Cutoff knob, thus modulating the cutoff frequency in every step.

Like the BD101, the FT201 can be used as a stand alone pedal, linked to other KOMA Elektronik effect pedals or as a controller for a (modular) synthesizer or other CV receptive electronic instruments. The CV and audio patch bay allows control of the Resonance, Sequencer Reset, Cutoff and gives the user the possibility to synchronize the pedal with an external clock signal.

Additional features include:

Three filter outputs; Bandpass, Low pass and High pass, which all work simultaneously
Slide controls for Input Gain and Resonance
On board infrared expression controller, can be used as a standalone CV feature
CV control for Resonance, Sequencer Reset, Cutoff
CV input for External Clock signals and synchronization with other KOMA Elektronik pedals
CV attenuators on the back of the pedal to fine-tune the CV inputs
