Another crazy machine, thanks Soma! Too many manufacturers always repeat the same thing machine after machine but not you. Move forward is your DNA. Big respect for that.

[@SnaFOo75]

right?! Vlad is the MAN!

[@psmaulehlien]

Vlad, I am in awe of your creativity. You give humans a good name.

[@Bfredproduction]

Utterly absolutely Brilliant 🙏!!

[@PrimitiveInTheExtreme]

Once again a fantastic unique machine. 🎯

[@GuitarsAndSynths]

Incredible! I really would love this and the two Soma synths.

[@mishadoumnov]

The Pulsar needed this kind of brother. Well done !!

[@marcel_h_]

one of the best story telling ever

[@visisydandthevoid]

This is incredible

[@Tobes1100]

Beautiful.

[@Stazma]

Crazy thing ! Would love to try this out one day.

[@hayatosimpson9448]

Incredible machine! Sequencer truly becoming an instrument. I also love the phrase "master clock dictatorship" haha

[@midnightrun5]

f- awesome! thanks for posting.

[@MichaelToop]

This thing seems like 8 Maths slew limiters in a box. Really looks like fun.

[@MonitorSmith]

Very cool, Vlad!

[@emilyschmanks]

astonishing

[@blaythessteuer]

you are insane this rocks

[@immersiveworlds]

Amazing!

[@Subtronik]

Oh sweet Jesus.... my bank account cannot afford such wonderful things!!!

[@TrigRek]

Wow. Just wow. The future is here.

[@noizekiller]

Future in the past.

[@djformalin]

Dope box....🎼

[@XanderEwald]

This is the first thing by SOMA that I don’t really understand. I watched various tutorials and walkthroughs, but I can’t seem to wrap my head around it. I am still intrigued to try it at some point, it might be something you have to learn with your hands.

[@damonopz]

Some here I have an enner, the pipe and ordered a terra. I really would love to get this as a sequencer since I’m going to be using cosmos as a looper so that I’ll have a fully soma labs setup, but I can’t understand it for the life of me 😅

[@macronencer]

Brilliant design, though I think I'll watch this again as there was a lot to understand! The thing I'm struggling with is the alligator clips... they feel somehow wrong to me, but at the same time I love them. I expect I will make my mind up if I ever get to use them for real :)

[@josephkamaru523]

wow!

[@DayflightTrok]

That is another great device of Soma, but it’s difficult to define for what to use. I use the Pulsar 23 and this machine is very versatile but the ornament is really a chaotic machine

[@Philodrone]

Now I need to rearrange my "to buy" list...

[@TimeScribe]

Wow.

[@VJFranzK]

1:39 "Can be a Complex Multidimensional Network." 8 - D

[@damonopz]

I understand now. So the time controls how long the note is held once you push the button. Once the note is done being held it triggers whatever cell it’s connected to to start playing, and then when that cell is done it moves onto the next and so on.

[@reason2910]

Oh damn

[@davidcarbonnel6396]

Yes, but will it blend?

[@teknotarot3125]

did you make a forest gump reference at the end! you did...

[@InFamousProductions]

that thing is so bad ass I'm trying to absorb the possibilities . I hope you make a few more of these vids, mr. Vlad. Did you think of this and the other machines all by yourself? I feel like I'm seeing and hearing the mind of Vlad.

[@zbnmth]

did you read the intro text?

[@InFamousProductions]

@@zbnmth i did now

[@Bobo]

Is it possible to use one Ornament-8 to control one Pulsar-23 and one Lyra-8 at the same time or do you need two Ornamenr-8? ☺️

[@hajimmie]

looks awesome and super interesting! my wish - would you make it banana plugged instead of pins? stack cables are easier to handle and there are many banana gears wanting to interact with this!

[@janhenckell4178]

get some banana cables that are 4mm on one end and 2mm on the the other end. the alligator clips connect perfect to the 2mm end. voilà!

[@hajimmie]

@@janhenckell4178 you'd very much like want to stack bananas on this machine itself, so

[@sodothehivesonhisleg]

You could splice alligator and banana together to make banana split

[@richardfrailing2529]

As cool as this is, I guess, the roundabout process needed to create very simple-albeit "organismic"-sequences reminds me of a Cinco synthesizer, a la Tim and Eric. Definitely the Rube Goldberg machine of synthesizers.

[@NostalgicRuckus]

initial conditions sensitivity meta science sequencing

[@online-person]

can the Lyra outputs be connected to other devices?

[@vadjuse]

Lyra outputs short upper and lower lyra sensors. You can use Pulsar out to connect with other devices or trigger-converters

[@somasynths]

if the other devices may react on input grounding

[@damonopz]

This is the one soma product I can’t wrap my head around. It seems very interesting but I don’t know math well enough to understand how it works 🥲

Price, and when will it be available?

[@somasynths]

The answers here somasynths.com

[@joelizquierdo8624]

How much in American bills?

[@praticle]

Will it come in orange? 🥰

[@somasynths]

Need to think :))

[@powermix24]

Black is the new Orange 😉

[@SirSybian]

$?

[@els1f]

Wait. What? 😧.....🤯

[@russianvoodoo]

Well. Good luck with understanding whatever is going on here.

[@russianvoodoo]

@@somasynths I mean, I'm good with English, but examples and manner in which you describe capabilities of this device are pretty difficult to understand. Maybe it's because I don't own Lyra or Pulsar and never had any modular synths. But I had Electron devices, so I understand what their sequencer is capable of. I didn't get how O8's sequencer works and how it could be used with other synths (for example Minilogue that was shown at some point). Guess more demos of using it with different devices could be helpful.

[@somasynths]

@@russianvoodoo the device is really unusual that is why unusual explanation. Try to read the manual and other info somasynths.com/description-ornament/

[@tornikesakvarelidze794]

fat tune

[@phantazzor]

Haha well and as heavy as 100😂 if you put Lyra+pulsar+ornament in suit case it will be probably around 10kg? No?

[@nathanbell6962]

I don't get it. Vlad maybe get a native English voiceover

[@emilyschmanks]

he's perfectly understandable must be you

[@goskullheads]

If you dont get it - you must need some sort of medical help dude - I can understand him perfectly

[@saifeek]

If anything, Vlad’s accent adds to the mystique of Soma. Plus he’s easily understood!

[@ganjabudweedful]

Emily Banks i agree. Now understanding how the sequencer works? Thatll take me more time lol

[@joelizquierdo8624]

No problem with his accent. It’s musical science buddy

[@ionut.negulei]

hire someone who can showcase/demo your instruments in english; i had to "rewind" 20 times to understand and actually gave up on min 4.... rRR rrrrrR GRRR

[@MrStupidHead]

If we had some Hollywood voiceover we'd never get "masterclock dictator" .

[@damonopz]

You must not interact with anyone who has an accent, like, ever, because this man speaks English very well and at no point was it difficult to understand his words. Coming from someone who has failed at learning Spanish three times and failed French twice, lol.
