When Looping Goes Too Far: Cafe Quantum, Spotykach and Cosmos

video upload by HAINBACH

"Looping has come a long way since I got my first Boss pedal. The three instruments I show in this video are far out, but which has gone the furthest? And more importantly, which one is the one that entices you the most? From the endless drifting of Soma Cosmos, the blooming soundscapes of Synthux Academy Spotykach to the Eldritch madness that is the Ciat-Lonbarde Cafe Quantum, here be loops.

A DARK CINEMATIC Music Performance | SOMA TERRA | Exploration: 35 | PATIENCE IS THE GAME

video upload by Rick Hopkinson

"The Dirty Mirror takes these two behemoths of sonic perversion and adds an extra layer of nasty – using the core circuit of our Coma Reactor Eurorack module.

This three footswitch, 15 knob pedal looks complicated – but it’s not:

The BURN Channel (left side) is based on our Chemical Burn circuit, a nastier FY-6 variant.

The CHURN channel (right side) is based on a heavily modded Big Muff Pi.

There is a short delay circuit before the fuzz circuits.

Both the fuzz circuits can switch between the input sound, 100% wet delayed sound or a blend of wet and dry.

The fuzz circuits are then mixed in parallel into a high-headroom output section.

For added sickness, the delay time can be modified by an envelope follower or LFO.

Choose your filthy reflection – from straight dual parallel fuzz textures, to seasick vibrato to long slow quasi-chorus phasey apocalyptica.

The delay can be used on its own for slapback, chorus and vibrato effects.

Yes, it can get very noisy.
No, you can’t do anything about it - so weep in pain and pleasure, and submit to the swarms of square waves that joyfully fill your room.""'Patience is the game' is a live improvised cinematic ambient performance on the Soma Terra synthesiser; a deep and evolving journey through dark, cinematic ambient soundscapes.

Cinematic ambient music, dark atmospheric soundscape, experimental synthesiser performance, Soma Terra improvisation, ambient drone music.

This is my 35th cinematic ambient exploration in the Sanctuary series.... This time it's played on the Soma Terra synth by @somasynths
I keep coming back to this synth!

Ambient | LYRA-8

video upload by Akihiko Matsumoto

"Link: https://akihikomatsumoto.sellfy.store...
The SOMA LYRA-8 has earned a reputation as one of the most unconventional analog synthesizers ever built. It does not follow the rules of standard pitch, MIDI sequencing, or predictable modulation. Instead, it generates sound through an organic interaction of oscillators, distortion stages, and feedback paths. Every note is less a fixed frequency and more a living event shaped by your touch, voltage instabilities, and the nonlinear behavior of its circuitry."

Ambient Electronica with LYRA-8 and OP-1 field Strings | Curb Stones 2026-03-29 by atnr

video upload by atnr

"Ambient electronica built from simulated string tones and sustained synth textures.

Created with ‪@somasynths‬ LYRA-8, ‪@Dirtywave‬ M8 MODEL 02, ‪@teenageengineering‬ OP-1 field, and monotron DELAY.

On the LYRA-8, sustained tones are performed. The signal is processed with ‪@KORG_INC‬ monotron DELAY for filtering and delay, then through MICROCOSM with deep reverb.

On the M8 MODEL 02, simple harmonies are played and looped using Hypersynth. The sound is processed through ‪@ChaseBlissAudio‬ LOSSY with filtering and reverb.

On the OP-1 field, simulated string tones from the STRING synth are looped using the ENDLESS sequencer. Reverb is added with MOOD MKII, and the MICRO LOOPER is occasionally engaged to introduce variation."

Lyra 8 // Elmyra II // Eurorack FX // Cocoquantus // No talking

video upload by Lesjamusic

"I've been working on some of the ambient sounds for Eric Whitacre's new piece, and set up this little Euro FX rack, together with recording some Elmyra. Eric himself is a master Lyra player, and I wanted to try out a little drone piece pairing these two together. Coco because Coco. Little break in the middle to retune the Lyra (natch)"

SOMA ROAT + Bastl Kastles: The Chaos Button Beckons

video upload by Infin-D

"I picked up a used SOMA Rumble of Ancient Times several weeks ago and have been messing around with this crazy little synth. The wonderfully noisy jams by @ImmerhinHalbzwo inspired me to finally do one of my own. The ROAT can sound lovely and melodic but it has this button labelled simply 'CHAOS'. Pushing it scrambles all of the parameters of the four synth voices in unpredictable ways, including how they react with each other. That's what's happening here, locking one or more of the oscillators into "drone" mode will sometimes cause a noisy, harsh modulation that is absolutely primal, hence the name of the thing.

Rhythm comes from the Bastl Kastle Drum, going through the Kastle 2 FX Wizard on the "Shifter" setting. They clock the looper on the ROAT and get some delay from the Korg NTS-1 MKii.

Recorded live on the Zoom L6, audio normalized in Audacity.

So this happened… Pulsar 23 + Pulsar 23

video upload by Conatus Modulari

"Not what I expected nor intended, but somehow this 80ish jam happened… There's some good sounds going on, though slightly out of my comfort zone here. Uploaded it because it's all because I like playing around, next time will be a bit darker (or will it… ?).

I definitely need to dive into this Pulsar 46 thing on my desk."
