In addition to the new Eowave Koma synthesizer, boutique synth manufacturer Koma is expected to be demoing the Domino synthesizer at the 2012 NAMM Show.

The Domino is a discrete analogue synthesizer with a VCO in the tradition of the Korg MS-20 and the Roland TB-303. Here’s what Eowave has to say about the Domino synth:

The VCO, filter & VCA are transistor made. This transistor architecture gives .:.:DOMINO.::: a unique raw sound. Rich and raw at the same time, no need of external effects to give life to the sound. The VCO offers a mix between sawtooth and square. Pulsewidth can be modulated by the LFO.

The filter is a low-pass 24dB resonant filter. The analogue envelope range is from 1ms to 10s with attack, decay, sustain/release.The LFO has 8 different waveforms. On waveform 8, the modulation wheel can replace the LFO. MIDI CC 8 to 16 can transform the LFO in a sequencer to modulate pitch, pulsewidth, filter cutoff. The VCA can be modulated by a gate or by an envelope. In the legato mode, playing notes will generate glide between two notes. The glide time can be edited via MIDI CC. Additional features like a 8 steps sequencer, an arpeggiator and an accent recognition capability turns the Domino into a powerful tool.

Here’s another demo of the Eowave Domino in action. This  video demonstrates the LFO modulating the 24db/oct filter and the pulse width of the square waveform oscillator:

The next video demonstrates using the Eowave Domino filter to process sound from Reaktor:
