KOMA Elektronik Haloplane | Electromagnetic Micro-Loop Sampler & Wavetable Synthesizer

Q: Do I need a computer or the Companion App to play the Haloplane?
A: Not at all. Haloplane is 100% standalone—recording via the built-in mic or line input, editing field parameters, rotating fields, filtering, applying stereo effects, and recalling all 100 user presets work directly from the hardware. The Wi-Fi browser Companion App simply acts as an optional visual display for drag-and-drop sample management, wavetable design, and custom tuning scales.

Q: How is the Haloplane different from the KOMA Elektronik Chromaplane?
A: While the Chromaplane is a 10-field analog square-wave oscillator synthesizer, the Haloplane brings touchless electromagnetic pickup performance into the digital sampling and wavetable realm. Instead of fixed analog oscillators, Haloplane's 7 fields emit your own recorded micro-loops or morphing 6-segment wavetables, adding per-field LFOs, CV-controlled Field Rotation sequencing, multi-mode filtering, 5 stereo digital effects, and 7-channel USB-C audio streaming.

Q: How does the 7-channel USB-C Audio Interface mode work with a DAW?
A: When connected to Mac, Windows, or iOS via USB-C, you can select Haloplane as a multi-output class-compliant audio interface in Ableton Live, Bitwig, or Logic and stream seven separate DAW tracks directly into the seven physical electromagnetic fields on the surface—allowing you to mix, crossfade, and filter DAW stems in mid-air with the handheld pickups.

Q: Does the Haloplane have MIDI ports, and is it safe with Eurorack modular voltages?
A: Haloplane omits traditional 5-pin/TRS MIDI ports in favour of deep analog CV and USB-C integration. All 3.5mm CV inputs operate across a 0–5V active range while being fully protected and tolerant of ±12V Eurorack modular signals, and the Filter Cutoff CV input is internally normalised to the pickup Modulation Output for instant dynamic expression unpatched.

Q: How is the Haloplane powered?
A: Haloplane is powered over USB-C (requiring a minimum 5V / 800 mA USB power source, computer port, or USB power bank for portable performance) and includes a USB-C cable in the box.
