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.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eThis tool is the outcome of the environment we are in\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eAnd is inspired by the non-linear approach to music and life – don't build any expectations, choose your direction, and discover new paths\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eUnlike common probability operation, instead of filtering a pre-determined sequence, Kompas uses probability to generate new looping patterns based on the direction you choose.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch1\u003eFeatures\u003c\/h1\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eglobal clock and reset input\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e3 x 32 step pattern generators with traveling algorithms\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e3 CV inputs for coordinate modulation\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e3 trigger outputs\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e2\/5\/10ms selectable trigger length (via boot settings)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDIY and hacker-friendly Arduino programmable hardware\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003ca href=\"https:\/\/github.com\/bastl-instruments\/kompas\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"\u003eopen-source schematics and code\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eincludes a printed fanzine with navigation topics\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eavailable also as a DIY soldering and coding \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/bastl-instruments.com\/diy\/workshops\"\u003eworkshop\u003c\/a\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch1\u003eTechnical details\u003c\/h1\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e5 HP\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePTC fuse and diode protected 10-pin power connector\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e35mm deep (skiff friendly)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e5ms default trigger length\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e5V trigger outputs\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e0-5V protected CV inputs\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e60Hz maximum clock rate (3600 BPM :O)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e6-pin FTDi connector;\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003epower consumption +12V: \u0026lt; 30mA\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch1\u003eDownloads\u003c\/h1\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003epdf user manual \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/bastl-instruments.com\/content\/files\/manual-kompas-web.pdf\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"\u003edownload\u003c\/a\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e日本 (nihon) manual \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/bastl-instruments.com\/files\/nihon-kompas-manual.pdf\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"\u003epdf\u003c\/a\u003e  – translated by our friends at \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/umbrella-company.jp\/bastl-instruments.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"\u003eUmbrella\u003c\/a\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch1\u003eB(astl)-SIDE\u003c\/h1\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBehind Kompas there is Arduino-compatible hardware (ATMEGA328P chip) which can be re-programmed and hacked for different Eurorack applications.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eCONTROLS\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e3 linear pots (B100k)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e3 CV inputs (0-5V protected circuit)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e3 trigger\/gate outputs\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e2 trigger\/gate inputs\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eINDICATION\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e2 LEDs hardwired to trigger\/gate inputs\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e3 LEDs hardwired to trigger\/gate outputs\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e3 LEDs accessible via backside header\n\u003cdiv id=\"diy\"\u003e \u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBOTTOM BOARD EXTRA PINS\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e5 I\/O digital pins (3 of them are connected to LEDs via jumper by default)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e+5V and GND\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eRX connection pad (suitable for MIDI hack)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e6-pin FTDi connector\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"Bastl Instruments","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":53125436735827,"sku":"210000002561","price":170.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1043\/4052\/1299\/files\/bastl-kompas-001.png?v=1772275941","url":"https:\/\/www.voltmusicstore.com\/products\/bastl-instruments-kompas","provider":"Volt Music Store","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
