Put 110 V AC through an isolation xformer and got 109V. Put it across an electrolytic cap and got 169 enough for these 12AX7 plates. 220 would give me 340 Don't try this.

28:45 had me sitting by a pond at dusk. That was really magical.

Hats off, Vlad.

Thank God that awful strap is NOT thrown in the loop

Very versatile, from techno to classical solo! Can definitely see somebody taking this on as a primary instrument. "magnets... how do they work??"

Ether 2 on steroids!

This thing is amazing!

Bravo! Wonderful demonstrations of such a unique and interesting device.

What kind of violin is this? It's so unique.

I've wanted to learn guqin for a long time, so naturally this is an exciting instrument to see developed.

I own Soma Labs equipment and I love it, but I’d like to know how Vlad feels about the war against Ukraine before buying more stuff

Just like a regular SW radio without turning the tuning dial

Zys is a tru breiksru of ruZzian teknologi! 🤣💩

i watch these videos a couple times a year and I always learn new stuff. thank you, vlad!

Seriously it sounds like a shortwave radio I blew components out on not knowing what I'm doing, it happened, this is cooler though.

Неплохо Саша прокачался. К слову, некоторых вещей, показанных в видео - не знал, прикольно всё таки. Его последний альбом, кстати, очень советую, там огонь!

if i sample audio from this device, would this be legal to use in my songs?

The nanosecond it becomes possible, I'm getting one of these.

Ik realy like Vlad’s voice and accent. They should use it in an instrument.

Will this be for sale in the UK?

To prevent "financial loss" they've basically indemified themselves with by stating that any sound issues are basically "by design" and will not be considered defects. Period. "By using the Soma PULSAR•23 patch book, you agree to following conditions: All patches were created independently by PULSAR•23 owners and SOMA cannot guarantee that you will get the exact same sound(s) as described or as heard in the audio samples. Please keep in mind that PULSAR•23 is a fully analog device with a very complex, organismic design, so even perfectly recreated patches can sound differently than the demo provided by the creator of the patch. If you are not able to recreate a certain patch exactly it does not mean your PULSAR•23 is defective! This patch book is a guide, not a guarantee to achieve certain sounds. Soma will therefore not accept any complaints regarding a different sound of recreated patches, or offer further explanations on how to achieve a patch if a user is not able to. Such cases cannot be used for opening a warranty repair or unit replacement claim with SOMA customer support and/or the place of purchase."

Ну невозможно слушать этот английский. Говорил бы уже на родном

Vlad, I love this instrument. I want to purchase one when released, but part of me hopes that maybe not. Because there is only so much money, and Terra was a must have - so that's 1. Flux could be #2, but I'm hoping you will confirm whether Reflex is still in the plans to be developed. I can't buy three $1,000+ Soma instruments in a row. I wish I could! So if Reflex is still coming later on, I may wait for it - Reflex is such a radical concept! It has my heart. I sense some initial aspects of Reflex made it into Terra, I can feel the link. They would compliment each other as a pair for sure!

Oh, the Messeiver brings back so many memories. The Russian woodpecker, the sounds of national radio identification music, so much magic behind a lighted dial. A "look" into the perspectives of so many different countries. Dialing in a radio signal is more like invoking voices of the ether. What you hear is dependent on forces of nature, completely beyond your control. Make an offering of electricity to the spirits of the airwaves, and be thankful for what you receive.

A lot of great tips in there! Can't wait to explore!

What is the left hand controlling?

Duo phonc mode would be more than welcomed and opening the sonic engine to incorporate patches would make these "modern take on ancient instruments" way more flexible :)

Good luck at that price. Might sell a couple.

Wow, you’ve done it again! 👏

God damn you Vlad... every time! 😍

Any chance that the gesture and position parameters could be sent by USB and accessed through an open SDK? The possibilities for using that as a controller for software synths is very high. It appears that many of the parameters are continuous rather than being coarse discrete values; that could make Flux a beautiful way to perform with software synthesizers.

Imagine Messeiver could not only receive radio waves but also communicate and interact with the other Messeivers in the area, creating a global network that becomes its own organismic super-instrument.

The white mans glory. Radio is cool.

Yes, send me some of these 👍

Soma is the only 100% original company, no bs.

Oh Boy!!!! This is good.

Omg😮👍👌

Merzbow needs one!

God thats gorgeous!!!

Holy Sh!t What took me so long to find this?? Aaaarrgghhh! Must Have!!

!

I wouldn’t be surprised if this is a 3dq crystal radio that can switch to a regenerative mode

Be cool to experiment with a loop antenna if there is a ferrite in there.

Looks great, I wish I could afford it.

Biggest question is. Can you even legally use this in your music? Since its others music from all over the globe? Im not sure about sampling from radio or its legality but thats the first thing that popped in my mind.

Each time a different sound....i am finding this out using the lyra and ornament

Or you can do it the long way....3 reel to reel recordings of SW then spliced and put through multi delays.....about the same price actually for 3 used machines and the reels.....but remember each time this is used it can be sound processsed and multi tracked...
