This video, via Dutch synthesist Arjen Schat, captures some ‘Komplex sequencing’ with the new Koma Komplex Sequencer.
Here’s what Schat has to say about the video and patch details:
Complex patch with the Koma Komplex Sequencer controlling a Doepfer Dark Energy and Moog Little Phatty.
I start with a simple scale on A and modulate its transpositions with a sequence on B. C and D both have a short sequence but the CV and gate are cross-mixed whilst a similar transposition modulation applies.
Its 1975 – Ricochet!
Seriously though – I like it.
I was thinking the exact same thing.
Listened to Ricochet just last night whilst soldering up a Synthrotek MST Sample and Hold.
That album is fantastic.
That was awesome.
Hm, not my taste. Sounds complex but not very musical. You synthopia guys should post some examples of kyteman. Imo he is the most innovative modular artist today.
Mospit
Different tastes – that’s why there are so many types of music, isn’t it?
FYI – there’s a feedback link at the top of every single page of the site, for making suggestions and submitting news. If you’ve got a suggestion, use it:

i like it. yes.
I want to know what the six knobs do, seem to affect direction, glide, and some kind of ratcheting?
Looks like it stores patterns too. Could sequence very long pieces I imagine, by writing a bass line in one channel and transposing, etc. I wish there was a sequencer like the Serge/Buchla touch keyboards that had patch memory, but lpoks like this is about as close as one could get!
The full manual is on KOMA’s site if you want details. 4 sets of knobs, one for each sequencer.
I quite enjoyed that. This sequencer is a masterful bit of technology but it’s too big for me and my humble confines.
That is a great piece of hardware. It appears to be very well thought out and simple to operate.
Well done Koma.
I would really like one of these. I have a BeatStep Pro and I wonder, if I had two of them, I think (correct me if i am wrong) I could do the same thing as the Koma. Two BeatStep Pro’s would provide 4 melodic sequencer with gates and midi, and two drum sequences. And can be programmed up to 64 steps per sequencer.
