KOMA Elektronik has announced that their new Komplex Sequencer – described as ‘a musical monster’ – is now available.
The new step sequencer lets you construct complex musical patterns, via both MIDI and CV/Gate.
Built around four full-featured 16-step sequencers in a compact and light enclosure, the Komplex Sequencer is a powerful tool both live and in the studio. All features have their own dedicated controls; no screens or submenus, and all features have their own dedicated inputs and outputs on the large 87-point patch bay.
By patching both internal and external CV sources through the patch bay of the Komplex, you can control any parameter of the sequencer immediately and “sequence the sequence.”
Controls include Speed, Sequence Length, Gate Length, Play Mode, Glide, Division, Transpose, Repeat, Sequence Start Point and Skip. Additionally, the sequencer can vary output range and also has a quantizer on board operable in different scales.
Not only is the sequencer compatible with almost any synthesizer with CV/Gate, MIDI note, velocity and CC information can also transmitted by any of the four sequencers.
A seven bank CV Recorder is also on board and can output up to 5 banks at once.
Here are KOMA’s official demo videos:
The KOMA Komplex Sequencer is available now, priced at US $1,625 (USA/International)/1699 EUR (EU, Incl. VAT).
This thing is ridiculous in the best possible way. They’re coming close to realizing my dream of having a hardware version of Jim Coker’s Numerology program.
Why in heaven it is cheaper in the USA than in Germany if it is a german company?
Simply because in Germany the Taxes are already included..
But not in the USA!
Modulys can do this for 30 bucks!

sure, but there are lots of people who prefer working with real hardware.
edit: okay, I looked up Modulys and that does seem pretty cool! unfortunately, it’s Windows only. good thing I still have Numerology for when I don’t want to rock the hardware.
Man, this thing looks so freaking cool. I’m having a tech-gasm just looking at it.
They’ve pretty much made the sequencer of my dreams. Well played Koma!
Amazing sequencer! Reminds me of metropolis. It seems there is no swing and in the movie the knobs seem to be of continuous kind instead of selector knobs.
Soon to be available in Colombia, Koma Elektronik’s official dealer!
