"Comes in box with all materials. Updated to most recent firmware. A weird and wonderful tool. Many of the demos make it sound rather harsh, and it can do that, but it is also capable of warm, melodic, conventional soundscapes. You can tune the keys any way you like. This feels like playing an acoustic instrument, yet the sounds take you to electric planets. Light touches on the modifiers feel godlike in their sonic transformation."

SOMA Laboratory // FLUX FLUTE DUETT IMPRO // Live @ SUPERBOOTH 24

"Vlad KREMER (FLUX) from SOMA LABORATORY and REGINA (flute) in a live DUETT improvisation @superboothberlin 24."
SimplexFM. Organismic sound exploration (SOMA lab)
video upload by SOMA Laboratory
"For details of synth engine and operation, please, read manual.
Product Page: https://somasynths.com/metaconformer_..."
"SimplexFM is the new groundbreaking firmware which turns METACONFORMER module into 4 track digital organismic synth. This is a free firmware for METACONFORMER.
SimplexFM is the pocket-sized successor of LYRA-8 ideas. Complex and surprising sound behavior comes from the interaction of timbres, not dozens of modulators and LFOs.
For launching SimplexFM you need to buy METACONFORMER. If you have METCAONFORMER you just need to download simplex firmware here."
You can find additional demos of METACONFORMER here.

Soma Labs Flux - Highly Expressive New Instrument - Sonic LAB Presentation
video upload by sonicstate
"Soma Laboratory's unconventional design is a major factor in why their instruments are so unique. We take a look at the latest instrument Flux - which takes a lot of inspiration from the no touch approach of the original Theremin. However with the use of small magnets in each had there are five control axis per hand and up to 16 controllable parameters.
The instrument is loosely based on the Terra synthesis concept and features 37 digital algorithms which are treated like individual instruments with their own timbral characteristics.
The right hand controls the pitch, dynamic, octave and tilt (for timbral control) and the left hand controls more of the timbral character with a considerable amount of tonal range possible.
We talked with Vlad Kreimer who gave us an over view of how Flux works.
The first batch of production units will be going out later this year and the price they are aiming for is in the region of 1000 Euros + tax

23
video upload by Cinematic Laboratory
"The latest Soma Digest (16) had a link to a #Pulsar23 'diode' experiment by Conatus Modulari from Rotterdam, NL. I am not sure how many of you own a Pulsar, but I see it shine at many live gigs by many people, and recently Johno Wells dedicated a whole show to it. Anyway, this 'diode' trick is amazing. Basically you'd combine an LFO with a Clock, LFO patched to the right side, Clock to the Left. Also clock the LFO with something. Then, patch/pinch/clip another line from the Clock side to your kick trigger and adjust to taste. I don't know how it works, I just know I love it. It reminds me of euclidian rhythms, but there's no code, no logic, just analog magic.
There's a video to Conatus' video where he explains how it works so I can just jam and experiment with the Buchla keys."

Short live impro with Solar-42, Pulsar-23 and Ornament-8
video upload by Napotronix
"The Elta Music Solar-42 came in last Friday so had to take it for a spin :) Here it's hooked up to the Soma Synths Pulsar-23, Soma Laboratory Ornament-8 and with some external delay from the Erica Synths Zen Delay. All amazing devices!"

Mellow Sunday | Mellotron Micro + Soma Cosmos
video upload by Cinematic Laboratory
"I recorded four jams today. Four. This one was the best, so I'll post this one. So now I have a few 'backups' which makes it easier to relax when there's a 'writers block' day. #jamuary2024 is not limited to modulars so today I decided to use one of my favorite creative combo's, the vintage Mellotron and the 21st century Soma Cosmos. I am using the R1.5 'rhythmic firmware' which is basically a looper. It has 7 modes with different timings and pitch shifts. There are three additional modes with delay, verb and grains from the original firmware. There are two versions, one with drive, and one with drive remapped to pitch shift. I always want to bring an orchestra to a gig, but leave the VST laptop at home. Mellotron is a perfect machine to add polyphonic samples while keeping the 1960's vibe and it's great to process with a modular synth. Happy Sunday!"

Terraforming | Extending Soma Lab's Terra with midi
video upload by Cinematic Laboratory
"When I started this journey I was looking forward to use the Terra MPE mode as a fancy controller. I made a video, and deleted it later because it didn't meet my expectations compared to dedicated controllers like the Linnstrument and the Seaboard. The old video ended with a lot of speculation and a nice patch with Terra and a modular setup. It wasn't any good. But I could not let it rest either.
It did not use the knob/sensor mappings and I did not check how it would behave as a controller for an MPE PC/VST setup. It wasn't bad, but it wasn't spectacular. Terra uses fixed Midi CC messages, and my VST did not support midi learn. It was another dead end. Yesterday I decided to make a CC mapping for the Endorphin_es Shuttle Control and tried a full modular MIDI to CV route, mapping all Terra's knobs and the ABCD sensors. This turned out to work really well. This video is not intended as a 'how to do it', because I am still working on it. It also requires the right eurorack modules and there are just too many converters/options.
It's been a connectivity nightmare that took way too much time and energy. But now my Shuttle has a preset mapping and I can now start experimenting and exploring. I really enjoyed the music and sounds that emerged along the ride. The footage I used is from Iceland."

Terra by Soma Laboratories

"It's always a joy to hook up a new Soma device and get lost in streams of sound. In my humble opinion, Terra is one of the most beautiful synths on the planet."

Soma Laboratory ENNER 2021 - Limited Edition Red
Note: Auction links are affiliate links for which the site may be compensated.
via this auction
Panel layout below.
"LIMITED EDITION in red, hard to find in US
ENNER is a very expressive sound tool that can generate bits, pads, FX, noises, clicks, glitches, but also function as a cool vocal mic with built-in analog FX and much more! A musician with a rich imagination and who’s experienced in playing ENNER can perform an entire exciting gig using just this synth.
As an instrument, ENNER is a unique analog synthesizer with the key principle being that all signals that make sound pass through and are managed by your body. Your hands become the central part of the circuitry. Touching different contact pads with different parts of your fingers and palms with different amounts of pressure, letting signals pass through your body defines the mixing, volume, timbre, feedback and other parameters of synthesis. Human skin has much more complex electric properties than we think. Our skin provides not just resistance but also some capacitive properties and even nonlinear dependence of conductivity from current, its direction and time during which the current was applied. All of this affects the sound, making you the key part of the synthesis process.
All pots of ENNER are metallic and also function as inputs or outputs. Touching a pot can change not only the parameters but also patch the audio signals."
