In his latest video, German synthesist Hainbach takes a look at the KOMA Elektronik Chromaplane, a unique new polyphonic electromagnetic instrument.

The Chromaplane features a touchless interface, organic analog sounds, and an intuitive way of playing, made possible by invisible electromagnetic fields.

“The Chromaplane by Duo Passepartout and Koma Elektronik is an oddity: it is an experimental analog synth that does not have a keyboard or MIDI, but instead it is played with telephone coil pickups.

A beautifully unique idea that found success on Kickstarter, funding within minutes. I got to play with the pre-series model for a week.”

Pricing and Availability:

The Chromaplane is available to project backers starting at about $392 USD. The project has already met its funding goal.
