Cyma Forma RN + SOMA Cosmos | Live Generative Ambient

video upload by Andre Bregegere

"Welcome to another live hardware improvisation. In this session, I am exploring the unpredictable and intricate textures of the Cyma Forma RN random synth, processing its generative output directly through the SOMA Laboratory Cosmos for expansive, drifting loops and atmospheres.

There are a total of 53 patches in the video, all of them generated with the push of a button!. Some are allowed to play out for a few minutes, while others are heard only for a few seconds.

Live with 3 SOMA ENIGMA + TERRA + PULSAR-23

video upload by SOMA Laboratory

"Have you wondered what your lucky charm sounds like? That old key, a metal ring (or a pendant) you never take off: with ENIGMA, you can find out. It’s a synthesizer that reacts to metal objects, so you can give a voice to something you’ve carried for years.

You can still join the first 'Family & Friends' release before the mass release, at a special NET price of 590 EUR (excl. VAT, shipping, customs, transfer fees) instead of the regular net price of 680 EUR.

Performance: Tim Kroker.

NerDie 8-bit Engine — OUT NOW!! (no talking video)

video upload by Diego Capoccitti

"OUT NOW!! NerDie, played from start to finish.

NerDie is an 8-bit noise synthesizer and sequencer. Four oscillators, four LFOs, a summing tree with eight algorithms, a resonant low-pass filter and a one-bar sequencer. The whole engine runs in whole numbers at a fixed chip rate, so the overflow, the wrap and the quantisation you hear are not effects added at the end: they are the signal itself.

It runs as a plugin on Mac and Windows, and as an app on iPad and iPhone. Presets (.ner files) are the same on both, so a patch saved on the iPad opens in the plugin, and the other way round.

You Can Play This Synth With Fidget Spinners

video upload by substatica drones

"ENIGMA is an innovative synthesizer fully controlled by the position and movement of metallic objects. Through a unique interface developed by SOMA, every metal object placed on the surface is transformed into sound. The shape, size, and type of object are entirely up to you. Coins, screws, fragments, gears, tools, and any other metallic artifacts will work. The interface sensitivity is extremely high — even a fractional millimeter shift of an object can alter the sound.

MIDI and CV clock sync are included , as well as MIDI note control."

Reproducing Chaos, ENIGMA Synth Patch Template

"Demonstrating a free printable PDF patch template for the ENIGMA synthesizer, allowing us to record, or plan, object placement. The same objects in the same placement should reproduce the same sound. Play the ENIGMA synthesizer by placing metallic objects on its surface. The ENIGMA is available now from SOMA LABORATORY.

Reticulum Versio vs Soma Cosmos

video upload by John Schussler

"The Soma Cosmos 'Drifting Memory Station' is unfortunately only available as a very large pedal unit. I've been on the lookout for a Eurorack module that could do the same thing, and found a firmware called 'Reticulum Versio' (created independently of Noise Engineering) that replicates much of the Cosmos functionality.

Now that I have both, I figured I'd try them out next to each other and see how they compare. The Cosmos has a few more features and control, which is to be expected since it's got more real estate to work with, but the Reticulum captures the core of Cosmos.

Many thanks to Ohnoabear (from ModWiggler) for his Reticulum firmware, and for sharing it with the community.

VCOs: Beehive/Plaits and Pony VCO. Sequencer: Acid Rain Ziggurat. Envelope: Zadar"

3x Ambient Explorations // Novation Peak // Cocoquantus // Soma Cosmos // Chase Bliss & Oto Pedals

video upload by Lesjamusic

"The Novation Peak does just sound so damn good. I went into a weekend sesh with the intention of building a new Midi map for it, but got stuck simply enjoying how great it sounds. The Peak is the sound source for everything you hear across these three pieces. I took snippets and looped in Cocoquantus then smeared using Cosmos. I also took a second FX send through Onward / Lossy / Gen Loss for some added texture. Oto Boum and CXM 1978 ever present."

Lyra 8 Organismic Synthesizer with Sequential FOURM Synthesizer

Feel the sound, not the screen: TERRA synth

video upload by SOMA Laboratory

"Do you want to lose yourself in a direct, intuitive interaction with sound where every touch shapes the tone?

SOMA TERRA gives that. No screens, no menus, no obstacles between you and the music. Just a pure physical interaction, like with an acoustic instrument.

Follow an idea as it appears in your mind, shape it into a phrase, and make it part of your music.

Watch Tim Kroker turn this direct connection into a composition.

LYRA-8 Rust Version Close-Up | This Is What It Looks Like

video upload by Tibor Synth Explorations

"A close-up macro footage of my LYRA-8 in rust version. This finish has a distinct matte, textured surface with visible but strongly attached rust flakes/artifacts. It doesn’t flake or leave any residue when you touch it.

When I ordered mine, there were very few good-quality photos or videos of the SOMA rust versions available, so I was a bit hesitant about going with this finish. But it was totally worth it.

Every rust-finished unit is different, though, so don’t take this particular look as a guarantee. Yours might look completely different.

In the background, you can hear the first song I ever recorded with my LYRA-8. If you’re interested in the full performance, you can check it out here:"

The OXI Playbook #4 Decoupling Velocity & Gate to Explore new Grooves

video upload by OXI Instruments

"The OXI team's favorite workflows, patches, and sequencing tricks.

Today's technique leverages a unique feature of the OXI One mkII: the ability to decouple Velocity and Gate values from their relative steps. Starting from a fairly basic drum pattern, we'll show you how to develop different rhythmic phrasing just by setting different looping points on the Velocity and Gate pages."
