You can touch it, hit it and use the physical properties to create spooky and unearthly sounds. We got so many requests of users of the Field Kit to add one, so we did.\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\u003cp\u003eThe Spring Reverb section in the Field Kit FX is Otto’s take on classic Spring Reverb circuitry and it rocks! He added a switchable Resonant Low Pass and Bandpass Filter in the audio path and a dedicated Cutoff rotary control to shape the input signal. In addition to that, we added variable Gain In, so you have maximum control over what you send into the effect. The Spring Reverb comes with CV control over Cutoff Frequency and Feedback.\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\u003cdiv class=\"template asset\" data-id=\"18578373\"\u003e\u003cimg class=\"fit\" src=\"https:\/\/ksr-ugc.imgix.net\/assets\/018\/578\/373\/8a9f1d288e375ec02b1c43f48158f6ae_original.jpg?w=680\u0026amp;fit=max\u0026amp;v=1506980525\u0026amp;auto=format\u0026amp;q=92\u0026amp;s=f3b16545922a830d4b82cf31dfaedb0a\" alt=\"The Field Kit Spring Reverb works with a whole scala of reverb tanks!\"\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\r\n\u003cdiv class=\"template asset\" data-id=\"18578373\"\u003eThe Field Kit Spring Reverb works with a whole scala of reverb tanks!\u003c\/div\u003e\r\n\u003cp\u003ePlease note: the Field Kit FX does not have a build-in spring reverb tank.

A frequency shifter moves all audio frequencies by a given frequency amount, rather than a musical interval, like a pitch shifter. Technically, it modulates the audio onto a high frequency carrier wave, while filtering off one sideband and demodulated using a slightly different frequency.\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\u003cp\u003eThis gives super cool results. Small shifts in frequency can give you deep phasing effects. Larger shifts will allow you to enter a highly interesting sonic world, where for instance frequency differences which are related to a note give strange harmonic structures, which when the note changes give the weirdest sort of musical dissonance – which was a much used trick of KOMA favourite Karlheinz Stockhausen.\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\u003cdiv class=\"template asset\" data-id=\"18604480\"\u003e\u003cimg class=\"fit\" src=\"https:\/\/ksr-ugc.imgix.net\/assets\/018\/604\/480\/1c065778b8ac0b780a0a6b9000456696_original.JPG?w=680\u0026amp;fit=max\u0026amp;v=1507128932\u0026amp;auto=format\u0026amp;q=92\u0026amp;s=150ea5bb5e5dc6ac9d1cf987f6547573\" alt=\"\"\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\r\n\u003cp\u003eFor instance, when you input a piano sound and shift the frequency up you will end up with a piano which is very metallic sounding. When you shift the frequency down, the sound will be more like a membrane. You can change the sound of the Frequency Shifter with the Amount control, which allows you to set the frequency shift amount, and the Sideband control where you can tweak the harmonic structure. Of course both controls can be controlled via the CV Interface too.\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\u003ch1 id=\"h:cv-controlled-digita\"\u003eCV Controlled Digital Delay\u003c\/h1\u003e\r\n\u003cdiv class=\"template asset\" data-id=\"18712970\"\u003e\u003cimg class=\"fit\" src=\"https:\/\/ksr-ugc.imgix.net\/assets\/018\/712\/970\/3d2e8f76a4798fef097996e59c3f9ad0_original.jpg?w=680\u0026amp;fit=max\u0026amp;v=1507762907\u0026amp;auto=format\u0026amp;q=92\u0026amp;s=a1c7598b48139cc11cb4c81fe9436361\" alt=\"\"\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\r\n\u003cp\u003eThe Digital Delay is another creation of Otto, where he tweaked known configurations of the PT2399 Delay circuit to a Digital Delay with KOMA character!

It uses the four rotary controls to set the Attack, Decay, Sustain and Release phases of the envelope. If there is no CV routed to the Threshold pot, it will fire off repeatedly with the speed set by the Threshold control.
