Baikonur 4 is a sample-based synthesizer built from the sound of the SOMA Lyra-8™, a celebrated analog drone instrument. Rather than model it, Baikonur 4 captures its character through multi-channel recording and lets you reshape it with modulation, filtering and effects.
What makes the instrument distinctive is how each sound was recorded: every source was captured through four separate “mic” channels, each with its own tone, which you blend to taste on the main page.
Main — The direct signal, run through analog EQ, analog saturation and transformers for weight and color.
Room — The signal sent through a Fender Princeton Reverb amplifier and then a Universal Audio OX amp top box with the “Room” control fully raised — the source of the channel’s name.
Cab L / Cab R — Two different speaker-cabinet impulse responses, each captured in a different room and without the amplifier used on the Room channel — adding width and a sense of space.
