What a dream combination of Pulsar+cosmos+Terra!!! Love how glitchy the light is getting with the music.

Awesome. Have you only recently got the Cosmos? I have the Terra and the Pulsar 23, and I am thinking that maybe the cosmos will open them up as more of a hardware jam setup (as opposed to recording parts into a DAW which I mainly do now). I suppose I'm torn between Cosmos and a more traditional, controllable looper, but control isn't really the Soma vibe, is it. I'm interested in your experience with the Cosmos.

I had already tried Cosmos in the past and was surprised by the sound it produced, but I wasn't very happy with the contribution it made to my setup at the time. I bough it two weeks ago and now that I'm 90% switched to Soma instruments (only saving one keyboard that I use for felt pianos), I find that Cosmos is perfectly in line with what you can expect from using Somasynths. Like every Soma instrument, the choice requires a compromise between control and chaos; but by studying and experimenting I have always found a way to use these instruments in a way that reflects my ideas of sound and music. I find it particularly nice to try to make these instruments sound not in the way you "expect from Somasynths" but "in the way you don't expect", because at the beginning I too thought I had to "bend" to the ways of use expressed in the manuals ; I then realized that Soma's philosophy can be adapted to your own way of playing. perhaps this is the essence of the "organismic" music that Vladimir seeks to export I have yet to explore the cosmos rhythmic firmware well; let's say that from a workflow point of view, if you use it as a looper, it guides the entire cyclical aspect of the performance and needs to be followed in its evolutions, otherwise you risk doing things that are too disconnected.

I'm really starting to get into the Cosmos. I wasn't sure at first but being able to swap firmware enables you to access a more traditional style looper besides the proper madness. I find it works especially well with my Enner.

@@matthewtunnicliffe201 Yeah you just have to get used to that kind of looping style. For many years we had worked with traditional looper with infinite possibility for synchronization, and so we are used to think in a more "quantized" way. I find Cosmos to be very close to the "classical music" way of thinking about tempo in general, it frees you from metronome bound, but lead to more unpredictable behaviors that you have to accept.

First of all, I have to thank the KZbin algorithm for suggesting your channel to me, as I find it really interesting. I love it! More and more, I feel drawn to the concept of SOMA and, in general, to the idea of experimenting as a creative process. I have the Lyra, Cosmos, and Ether, and I've been holding off on buying the Pulsar for months because my use won’t be for making 'techno' with it, but rather for ambient or experimental music. What do you think?

thank you! Soma for me has been the start of my journey into ambient and electronic music. I love their concept of "organismic music" and the fact that you have to touch their instruments to play, and not just push some buttons 😆. I use pulsar for making ambient too, you don't necessary have to be aggressive with it. It just requires a lot of practice and experiments.
