Soma already has the illuminator, which has 8 cv inputs which control 8 12v outputs.

However, this is Koma and has Midi as well, plus what looks like 9 – 24v, which is much more flexible.

Thanks for for the info.
I’ll keep an eye out for some more detailed videos etc.
Though, if I’m honest, the Field Kit and it’s extra solenoids etc are probably enough for me.

Since Field Kit has four inputs for piezos these should player really nicely together.

However, why would I buy this over Koma’s own Field Kit? That has the same functionality as this plus a whole lot more for the same price.
