stretches the maximum time each segment can take up but also crossfades between linear and logarithmic
behaviour while fluctuating from shorter to longer envelope times.
The envelope can either be synced to the master clock, the master division or can re-trigger itself in loop
mode. It can also be synced to an external gate signal.
Large Black Push Button
The large black push button on the front left corner has different functions. If in TAP mode, it is used to tap
in the tempo: Just tap the button three times and the new tempo will be adjusted to the tapped tempo. In all
other modes and when you use an external analog clock input to sync the pedal, this knob is used to send
start/stop signals over MIDI and DIN Sync.
Sensor
One of the features on your RH301 that you won't find in any other pedal is the possibility to control the
features of the pedals with the on board motion controller. Since its functions with infra red LEDs we call it
the SENSOR. The motion controller can be used in many different ways. Technically speaking, it emits a CV
signal (control voltage) which can be patched up with any CV receptive socket on the KOMA pedals and f.i.
on your modular system. By moving your hand over the sensor you can control the parameters of the CV
input you patched it up to. With the trimmer on the back of the pedal (it says SENSOR) you can change the
sensitivity of the motion controller. For more information about control voltage, check out the section
Control Voltage Theory of this manual.
