I just love what you do! What if you made a suit out of sensors and created a live performance piece in which the stage were set up so that you make music by interacting with elements onstage? Just a thought. Thank you for posting this super interesting video
Ha, you uploaded this at the right time, I've been researching the Field Kit over the last few days. I really like the idea of the sensors. The temperature sensor is almost like a super slow envelope; I never thought of using one in that way!
Damd he was 1000% right on muscle memory - I always end up playing the same thing or going to the same ideas on piano keyboard. And I couldn't exacly name the reason until now. Interesting thing is I made my better pieces by using computer keyboard to play chords. It has very different layout compared to piano, it's limited, but you move your fingers differently. And that changes how you create. Some of my pieces made with computer keyboard I could not come up with piano and had to learn how to play that on stage.
Great video! Really nice to see this whole realm of possibility in an already amazing device. I think this is my favorite bit of gear. The field kit(s) I'd love to have built something like them, but that wasn't really going to happen. So big relief. And I mean both of these together isn't very expensive. Finally. Something fell into place.
Red for ground? Oh, the humanity!!! Red is, at the very least, positive, and usually 5V, with 12V being yellow and 3.3V being orange. But the cable you are using seems to have come from one of those "rainbow" colored flat cable, looking at the order of the colors, so I get it, I would also do something similar, I would just have to always triple check if I wired everything correctly because I just can't not think of red as 5V.
Pretty cool effects using sensor modules! Loved the capacitance module for deep ambient chill music & set it to a 4 on the floor beat with a sprinkling of the ride cymbal run through a sprinkle of reverb! 🙂🙂🎵🎵🎧🎧
uh ive been dreaming about sensor modulation since ive started watching you hainbach. and oh course someone has already thought of it! the world can be wonderful
Great video as always! I think you might be able to increase the sensitivity of the capacitive sensor by moistening your fingers, so that things like the banana will work better. Pretty sure you can also connect the sensor to people as well =D.
Just picked one of these up- can't wait to get creative & hear it working with the GRENDEL drone commander & error instruments soundscaper. Thanks Hainbach, you're the proverbial bomb in a trumpet factory. ✌🏽🐼
I've been looking into the Field Kit and expansion pack(s) for a while now and this video convinced me to commit to buying it today. I'm getting it mostly as a companion unit to my MakeNoise 0-Coast to add some more modulation options and to allow for some experimentation with contact mic's etc. EDIT: just seen/listened to the comments in the Q&A video and decided on a better choice of wording in the above comment. No offence intended :) y'all have a good New Year with new gear!
Beautiful! Wondering if these need the field kit to work their magic, or if I could patch them directly into a modular synth, perhaps through a preamp module?
Amazing idea from Koma to bring this new sensors out! Great presentation as always from Hainbach! I'm wondering why you didn't use the sensors to create gates from the "Switch" interface. I wonder if that's possible!
Ou could do some kind of performance music, attaching the ball switches to your head, arms, legs etc. When you have someone dancing it could turn the movements into music.. would be nice to try that out..
GEEZE you're honestly such a fantastic musician ! I would'nt have known how to make tracks let alone a video on these cool sensors haha I would've just made noise
Great! Adventure mode rocks:) Try to use potato with capacitive sensor, it usually gives better result. I really like accelerometer/gyroscope, random generator, ball and Euclidean rythms generator. Cool features, more entropy, they are interactive.
Great Stuff as always Hainbach! I have been looking forward to this one ever since i saw your Instagram teaser pic a while back. Koma are putting out some great stuff as they always do, and though i'm aware of a couple of sources for sensors around the net, some things like Soft Pots can be quite expensive. So, i'd be very interested in picking up the Sensor Pack even though i haven't got a Field Kit. I'll be keeping an eye on this for sure.
Good lord, that temp sensor. Thank you very much for the warning. I got weird looks when I whipped my headphones off at work. Might be interesting to mount it in a rack or another piece of equipment that slowly alters the tone of the whole output during the duration of a music set. The longer you play the room, the more greater the effect. Or, amusingly, run it out to a nearby HVAC vent, allowing the mood to shift as people feel the air shift to add a tactile component to the music
Hi Hainbach - Very interesting effects you are getting. Just wondering about the object on the right at about 15:10. I think you said it was a spring reverb, but I didn't catch the rest of what you said. The DC motor is triggering it. Many Thanks.
WoW - this is a super inspiring add for the field kit - and as Hainbach said at the start of this video at enables the use of the sensor section... (didn't use it for the same reasons) \0/ Looking forward to use it soon :-)
Amazing. I cant wait to add these to my arsenal. Slightly off topic but do u find the Koma reverb to be REALLY noisy and prone to interference? Sounds like a grounding issue to me but I'm using it anyway for the extra hiss :)
What Local Technique said - all spring tanks need shielded cables. See the big ones I use here. Also, flourescent light, dimmers, mobile, switching power supplies all must be kept away. It just how these things (and single coil electric guitars) work.
Is that a homemade cable you're using to output from the DC interface of the Field Kit to the 3.5mm jack on the tape recorder? The connection is obscured by the two patch cables.
@@Hainbach how have you dyied this cable? I found the Gieskes video to know how the Walkman is modded but I'm still wondering how to connect it to the dc interface of the field kit 🤔
Super Video! Danke dir :) Ich hätt ne frage bezüglich dem Kabel das du fürs spring reverb benutzt. Ist das irgendwas spezielles um den noise zu minimieren? Wenn ja welches genau? Ich hab nämlich das standart Cinch welches mitgeliefert wurde und kann das reverb kaum benutzen weil bei der kleinsten berührung des kabels meine speaker fast explodieren. Und der Noisepegel ist generell viel zu hoch.
Ist auch mehr in meiner Theaterarbeit, lasse meist auch eher singen: goetsch.bandcamp.com/track/a-dark-magic goetsch.bandcamp.com/track/mothers-grave soundcloud.com/spgoetsch/its-easy-enough-hainbach Manchmal singe ich auch live bei meinen Konzerten, wenn ich mich danach fühle :-)
I wonder if these are sensitive enough to pick up sounds from an ant farm or a tank full of see creatures like mini fighting fish, mini octopi or fiddler crabs? :D
Very likely, but depends on the sensor and the positioning, as well as the intentions. Very likely the standard piezos will be most effective, if the animals touch the glas.
man this stuff is sweet as hell but something tells me a field kit should not be my first hardware, neither should a digitakt despite my strong desire for these things...
@@Hainbach deleted a couple prior responses because i was at a fundumental missunderstanding of what the field kit was, a small amount of research fixed that and i actually kind of almost agree. especially if youre going a more DIY direction as it really really encourages that style of play. i think for most a synth or something to play into it could be of a slightly higher priority though.
Ha, in the theatre people smoke like mad. Though its gotten better. I remember productions where EVERYONE except me was smoking. In the break room. So I took no breaks.
@@Hainbach I had the same issues with a theater group that I used to work with, I solved it by taking an apple with me and join the rest on their breaks instead of smoking by eating the apple!
Ha, ich dachte mir schon das der vom envelope follower gesteuerte Pitch warble mit meiner echten Gesangsstimme verwechselt wird. Singen ist sehr wohl mein Ding, sonst hätte ich mich das nicht getraut. 😃
Thank you everybody for watching the premiere with me!
Thanks for the demo. These sensors look neat. I may have to get a Field Kit next year if I can find anywhere to put it.
Digging the new thumbnail :)
You're a true inspiration for producers of "normal" genres lol
Yeah, that is great! I also have heard from fellow film composers that they started using some of my techniques, which I love.
@@Hainbach I bought my first tape machine because of you, and can't stop using it, I don't think I can ever go back lol! Great channel!
Thanks so much!
The way he blinks twice in unison with the heat-generated noise @8:39 is really scary.
I just love what you do! What if you made a suit out of sensors and created a live performance piece in which the stage were set up so that you make music by interacting with elements onstage? Just a thought. Thank you for posting this super interesting video

It reminds me the Gecko Loopsynth, those sensible things can absolutely make the most natural variations of sound. Just perfect.
I already know I'm gonna enjoy this vid. Sensors are by far my favourite thing to use with the Field Kit.
Purchased a Field Kit today, thank you. Can't wait for the sensor kit!

How is the walkman modded to receive CV for the DC motor?
Seconded - how is this possible?!

That’s great, I’m just about to head down this rabbit hole and needed a clear demo like this. Sensors look great.
They are so much fun! I had a most inspired time.
Just picked one of these up- can't wait to get creative & hear it working with the GRENDEL drone commander & error instruments soundscaper. Thanks Hainbach, you're the proverbial bomb in a trumpet factory. ✌🏽🐼

Could you consider making another video on the more technical "how to use" side of things?
Ahh! This is exactly what I work with in my field. Awesome video Hainbach!
Can’t wait to try this out. I just hope it stays a bit affordable, the two other packs for Field Kit were aptly priced.
Beautiful! Wondering if these need the field kit to work their magic, or if I could patch them directly into a modular synth, perhaps through a preamp module?
I would not know how, as for example the digital modules are powered through the cable.
Amazing idea from Koma to bring this new sensors out! Great presentation as always from Hainbach! I'm wondering why you didn't use the sensors to create gates from the "Switch" interface. I wonder if that's possible!
This is an awesome product, I’m sold

Adventure mode is a perfect name for this!
Your videos are always so interesting in a very cool way.
Thank you! I try not to bore myself, so something like this is the perfect storm for me.
So ... which Field Kit should one get first? I haven't quite figured out in what ways they're different from each other ...
Another great video! Thanks so much. 😃
Looking forward to it, and the new album, but... no cassette release?
Thank you! This was way to fast from start to finish to make a tape in time. But if there is a label that would like to make a tape I am game!

Yeah, that soft pot is ridiculous! I remember looking up prices and it felt a bit crazy.

Haibach, what is the sensor connecting cable you used called?
As ever.. So inspiring. Thanks Hainbach!
Great video, they look quite easy to damage in a live setting?

I see you are getting ideas, awesome!
Forbidden Planet soundtrack, back in 1956!
How I loved that film in Sunday afternoon re-runs as a kid. Yeah, the FKFX with the Random Source has all you need to create similar sounding music.
fantastic job
I want ALL of this.

It's a spring reverb tank. You can use one with the field kit fx, and it's available in the fx expansion pack from Koma Elektronik.
@@christopher_ecclestone Thanks Chris, I saw it as part of the kit a few days ago. Koma gear is an experimenters dream!

The metal/wood instrument you’re playing around the 14:15 minute mark, what is that?
It’s an old toy piano.
awsome
Anyone know of a decent video on how to set these up?
love the sensors
Fantastic!
Amazing. I cant wait to add these to my arsenal. Slightly off topic but do u find the Koma reverb to be REALLY noisy and prone to interference? Sounds like a grounding issue to me but I'm using it anyway for the extra hiss :)
You need to replace the supplied cable with a shielded one. That will take care of the interference. Or you can embrace the noise :)
What Local Technique said - all spring tanks need shielded cables. See the big ones I use here. Also, flourescent light, dimmers, mobile, switching power supplies all must be kept away. It just how these things (and single coil electric guitars) work.

Ich hab nämlich das standart Cinch welches mitgeliefert wurde und kann das reverb kaum benutzen weil bei der kleinsten berührung des kabels meine speaker fast explodieren. Und der Noisepegel ist generell viel zu hoch.
Das ist von Amazon, ich hab einfach das dickste dort bestellt. Irgendwas mit con?
echt.. gibt es auf soundcloud was mit gesang? ich weiss da gibt es einiges aber ich kenn se nicht alle:)

As the kids say, shut up and take my money!
I wonder if these are sensitive enough to pick up sounds from an ant farm or a tank full of see creatures like mini fighting fish, mini octopi or fiddler crabs? :D
Very likely, but depends on the sensor and the positioning, as well as the intentions. Very likely the standard piezos will be most effective, if the animals touch the glas.
