KLIMA - Atmospheric Logic Eurorack Synthesizer Module

4hp, 3U, 35mm
23mA at +12V

KLIMA welcomes in the surrounding atmosphere as a fundamental building block for your modular patches. Inspired by traditional logic modules and built around an atmospheric sensor, Klima is a 4HP module that derives random gates by comparing your analog signals to the ambient temperature, humidity, atmospheric pressure and relative altitude.

The module takes an incoming signal up to ±5V and passes it through a comparator whose threshold is set by the density potentiometer. This parameter sets the probability that you’ll get a logic high (+5V) at the first output . In addition to giving a relatively predictable output related to the original input, the comparator signal is then compared to four independent binary signals to produce corresponding gates when a logic-AND occurs – that is, when both signals are high at the same time. The frequencies of these signals are determined by the atmospheric values from the sensor and are reset when a high gate is detected at the Reset input, giving you control over the random gates that Kilma produces.

What all this ultimately means, is that, as the surrounding environmental conditions change, so does the frequency of each of these binary signals and, therefore, the probability of a high gate output. In other words, the same patch will take on different characteristics depending on where you find yourself.

Klima is great for producing organically flavored randomness and is especially fruitful when it comes to producing polyrhythms and textures. In addition to offering a useful function standard to modular systems, Klima encourages you to pack up a travel rig and hit the road.
