Page 3: Introduction
Now the KOMA Elektronik BD101 brings these great tools together and takes it one step further. The bi- phase clock of the BBD circuit on the BD101 can go into ranges never intended by the inventors of these chips, allowing you to go from super short delay pulses with chorus and fanger like sounds to enormously cut-up soundscapes. -

¼ inch jack cable from SENSOR to DLY TIME CV on the patch bay. Set up the BD101 / Amp: Set all the controls of the BD101 as in Fig. 1, see next page. Power up / Bypass: Connect the BD101 power supply to the BD101 DC input on the backside of the pedal. -

Analog Gate Amplitude Modulation When the audio signal plugged into the AUDIO INPUT jack goes to into the BD101 it frstly arrives at the analog gate amplitude modulation section where you can choose in which way you want to prepare your signal. - Page 6 (see introductory notes about analog delay chips on page 3). Also be aware of the fact that the clock of the BBD chip used in the BD101 will appear as a function of your input signal, sitting on top of your waves.

+15V is more common and usable. Since the BD101 is running on a +9V power supply you might wonder how you can use a signal as large as -15V to +15V. The answer is simple: We provide you with a trimmer for each CV input on the backside of the panel. - Page 8 In other words: You add the voltage of your knob to the voltage of you incoming unipolar CV signal. Now you know more about CV, let's see what the patch bay of the BD101 can offer! KOMA Elektronik BD101 – Analog Gate / Delay...

Let's start from right to left in the upper row. AUDIO IN (audio input) This is the main audio input of the BD101. The sound source plugged in here will go trough the whole effect section. CYCLE IN (audio input) The sound source plugged in here will arrive at the feedback insert point of the BD101 delay section. - Page 10 DLY TIME (CV input) The DLY TIME CV input controls the delay time of the delay circuit in the BD101. When you insert a control voltage into this input the TIME knob determines the offset voltage (see Control Voltage Theory section).

By sending this signal into external effect units (e.g. flters or EQs) you can change the sound being fed back into the pedal through plugging your externally processed sound into CYCLE IN.
