Reserve yours from our UK allocation today — \u003cstrong\u003eUK VAT is included with zero import customs fees.\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eCreated in collaboration between Berlin's \u003cstrong\u003eKOMA Elektronik\u003c\/strong\u003e and acclaimed sound-art duo \u003cstrong\u003ePassepartout Duo\u003c\/strong\u003e, the \u003cstrong\u003eHaloplane\u003c\/strong\u003e is an electromagnetic micro-loop sampler and wavetable synthesizer built for sculpting sound in motion. Expanding the touchless electromagnetic ecosystem introduced with the \u003ca href=\"\/products\/koma-elektronik-chromaplane\"\u003eChromaplane\u003c\/a\u003e, Haloplane replaces keys, pads, and menus with physical space—inviting you to sweep two handheld stereo electromagnetic pickups across a surface alive with seven invisible sound fields.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eEach of the Haloplane's \u003cstrong\u003eseven customizable electromagnetic fields\u003c\/strong\u003e independently emits short looping samples or wavetables, complete with dedicated per-field LFOs and continuous control over \u003cstrong\u003ePitch, Length, and Position\u003c\/strong\u003e. Loops are automatically sliced, transposed, and scrubbed in real time as you sculpt each field's inflections. Capture fresh audio on the spot via the \u003cstrong\u003ebuilt-in microphone\u003c\/strong\u003e or \u003cstrong\u003e3.5mm line input\u003c\/strong\u003e, and store complete multi-field sound worlds across \u003cstrong\u003e100 onboard user presets and custom tuning scales\u003c\/strong\u003e.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eOne of Haloplane's defining superpowers is \u003cstrong\u003eCV-controllable Field Rotation\u003c\/strong\u003e: shifting the seven electromagnetic fields dynamically around the playing surface to generate everything from agile melodic riffs to precisely clocked spatial sequences. A dedicated \u003cstrong\u003eModulation CV output\u003c\/strong\u003e and \u003cstrong\u003eStereo Envelope output\u003c\/strong\u003e translate your physical pickup gestures into control voltages to self-patch or animate external modular gear, while the pickup signal flows through a CV-controllable \u003cstrong\u003estate-variable multi-mode filter\u003c\/strong\u003e (LP\/BP\/HP) and selectable stereo effects (Delay, Reverb, Flanger, Chorus, and Bit Crusher).\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFully standalone out of the box, Haloplane also pairs with an optional browser-based \u003cstrong\u003eCompanion App\u003c\/strong\u003e that serves as a visual display for inspecting exact field parameters, dragging-and-dropping samples, and managing presets and microtonal scales. Connect via USB-C and Haloplane even transforms into a \u003cstrong\u003e7-channel USB audio interface\u003c\/strong\u003e—letting you select it as your DAW output and stream discrete audio tracks straight into each of the seven electromagnetic fields on the surface.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eBlip Expert Take\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eChromaplane was one of the most joyful, tactile instruments to cross our studio bench, and Haloplane answers the single biggest dream every player had for it: \u003cem\u003eputting your own samples, field recordings, and wavetables inside those electromagnetic clouds.\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eTwo things elevate Haloplane from an experimental curiosity into a serious studio centerpiece. First, \u003cstrong\u003eField Rotation\u003c\/strong\u003e turns stationary hand positions into evolving polyrhythmic sequences—and clocking that rotation from Eurorack CV feels magical. Second, the \u003cstrong\u003e7-channel USB audio interface mode\u003c\/strong\u003e is a revelation for DAW producers: sending seven separate stems out of Ableton Live and physically “performing” the mix in mid-air with two pickups (or resting a \u003ca href=\"\/products\/koma-elektronik-doppeldisk\"\u003eDoppeldisk\u003c\/a\u003e on top for hands-free drones) creates organic movement no automation lane can touch.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWho Is This For?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eAmbient, Experimental \u0026amp; Film Score Composers:\u003c\/strong\u003e Artists seeking deeply organic, evolving textures, acoustic-electronic hybrids, and expressive spatial phrasing.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eEurorack \u0026amp; Hybrid Hardware Performers:\u003c\/strong\u003e Modular musicians wanting a touchless performance surface with CV-controlled field rotation, CV filter\/FX modulation, and pickup-to-CV envelope outputs.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eHands-On DAW Sound Designers:\u003c\/strong\u003e Producers eager to route stems out of the computer into seven physical electromagnetic fields and sculpt them by hand.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eScope of delivery:\u003c\/strong\u003e KOMA Elektronik Haloplane, 2× stereo electromagnetic pickups, pre-loaded MicroSD card, USB-C power\/data cable, English user manual.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"KOMA Elektronik","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":57737391210871,"sku":"HALOPLANE","price":549.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0958\/6609\/3943\/files\/03_koma-elektronik-haloplane-top.webp?v=1794407606","url":"https:\/\/weareblip.com\/products\/koma-elektronik-haloplane","provider":"Blip","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
