    DescriptionKompas

    Kompas is a three-coordinate probabilistic pattern navigator. Each coordinate has a unique traveling pace and a dedicated trigger output. The amount of probability can be adjusted manually or by external voltages. Once a coordinate has been adjusted, a new pattern is generated and looped until the next change of direction.

    This tool is the outcome of the environment we are in

    And is inspired by the non-linear approach to music and life – don't build any expectations, choose your direction, and discover new paths

    Unlike common probability operation, instead of filtering a pre-determined sequence, Kompas uses probability to generate new looping patterns based on the direction you choose.

    B(astl)-SIDE

    Behind Kompas there is Arduino-compatible hardware (ATMEGA328P chip) which can be re-programmed and hacked for different Eurorack applications.

    CONTROLS

    • 3 linear pots (B100k)
    • 3 CV inputs (0-5V protected circuit)
    • 3 trigger/gate outputs
    • 2 trigger/gate inputs

    INDICATION

    • 2 LEDs hardwired to trigger/gate inputs
    • 3 LEDs hardwired to trigger/gate outputs
    • 3 LEDs accessible via backside header
       

    BOTTOM BOARD EXTRA PINS
