You're a visionary instrument designer, Vlad. This is truly something special

[@stevem8430]

The most innovative designer today, thank you for your instruments

[@AbyssalReverberations]

I ended up finally snagging the Enner and Terra. Absolutely love both and they are completely different. The Terra is as wide and as deep as an ocean, and the Enner is a beautifully flexible machine. The Terra is incredibly unique and I love stumbling into new sonic territory while sound exploring. Beautiful instrument, but demands practice and attention. I cannot wait to grow into it :)

[@bjornbj6730]

I bought a soma terra and am thrilled. You can spend hours with (almost) every preset. I always discover something new.

[@LesterH25]

The Terra is amazing. I honestly think it enhances cognitive function. I live where it takes my mind functionally and expressively. I have this and the Cosmos. ❤

[@JureJerebic]

Terra is a paradigm shift in how we interact with synthesizers. It's a truly remarkable achievement and an instrument that commands time spent with it to truly master it, much like classical instruments such as a violin. Thank you Vlad for helping to shape the future of how we play instruments.

[@FloydRunner2049]

Check out Peter Blasser’s Ciat-Lonbarde builds fwiw. There’s also Meng Qi and Folktek

[@JureJerebic]

Have them@@FloydRunner2049

[@just_psy]

Vlad in his element! Congrats! Can*t wait to play with it and it with me :D Thank you Vlad and your woundeful Team! Keep it up! Endless possibilities!!!

[@improziv]

Fantastic. Thank you Vlad. Just got my Terra and this certainly helps.

[@wajobu]

I was fortunate to purchase one, and I can't wait to connect it and turn it on! Thank you for this brilliant instrument!

[@RossTregenza]

I've had mine for 2 weeks, I understand very little about it right now, but I already love it

[@DreamscapesMusicCinema]

Hello Vlad! So good to meet you 😊. Thank you so much for your awsome Demo. Very nicely done ✔ 👏.. I hope everything is well with you! Mark Bensette Aux Bois 🇨🇦.

[@Desolaire]

Wow, this is amazing Vlad, my Terra is ordered! Love my Pulsar-23. Never stop doing what you are doing.😀

[@vapourbile]

I can't wait to play this beautiful piece of musical art. Hopefully my order will come in sooner than later!

[@rlg222]

This thing is amazing!

[@TheOriginSoundtrack]

I love mine but wish there was a tuning / scale lock so you can change between engine presets without changing the scale / note tuning. Please consider this for a firmware upgrade.

[@MikhailMedvedev]

Occasionally Vlad won the Cosmos contest))) Much needed tutorial by the way!

[@napotronix]

OK, I caved after trying one out for the first time the other day. Ordered.

[@fraknoise8523]

Thank you! Most was already clear, but very helpfull to see it explained, especialy the mirco tuning.

[@TheNimasan]

thank you so much for this great video. absolutely love the terra!

[@krismenn29]

Nice to be able to tune it like that, but I hope there will be the possibility to have an editor to manage the scales and to import scala files. Can’t wait to have mine!

[@KeithDuncanSound]

Superb thank you for this tutorial!

[@anastasiaradko148]

Он зе лефт пэнэл ви хэв... Прононсиэйшн вэри гуд. А если без шуток, то круто!

[@DocAcher]

This is fascinating

[@batchas]

Pers. I'd be missing a filter on Terra with cutoff & resonance, but in despite of this it looks like an awesome instrument to play with. You have all my respect for the amount of work you must have invested to develop such an instrument (hardware, firmware). I'm impressed.

[@noewacreativemusic6794]

amazing instrument! would be a great companion to my Lyra-8 and RoAT...

[@settoregiada]

It's great!

[@user-tp3nq3im5s]

Hi Vlad, great instrument. Do you have to ground the Terra synthesizer if you only play with headphones?

[@somasynths]

It is recommended to ground it, but not a mandatory.

[@Loiktv]

I'm not able to activate the Hold sensor without touching a note at the same time ,I'm unable to activate the hold before playing like Vlad show in the Vidéo, what I am missing or is it already a firmware update ? Thanks for an advice .I love my Terra.

[@somasynths]

need a firmware update up to V1.1

[@duster8373]

@@somasynths awesome! i was experiencing the same thing. i am no longer worried

[@lal_lain]

Wonderful♥

[@gebhardmeilinger8578]

Vlad vorever !!! great mind for great instruments !

[@anthonyrothercom]

[@aidarka580]

pity I don’t have one finger on the left hand :) amazing instrument by the way.

[@duster8373]

do you have a stub? honest question. you could still work with this thing and that would be cool to see

[@istvantoth7431]

Put this thing on a Cosmos!

[@damonopz]

I filled out the order form months before it was available on through other retailers and never received any correspondence. Was forced to order from perfect circuit bc I figured orders were closed. Now I have to wait until the end of the year to get mine because they were not closed, my request was just seemingly ignored. :(

[@annedeoedipus7849]

Been following the development for the last two years. One would think in that time I would have saved the cash for one. But, I guess that is what tax returns are for.

[@christofthedead]

27:55 dude... really....

[@haz0806]

!

[@fangan4770]

So basically it's a synthesizer build within wood (instead of a plastic / metal frame) and a very "special" keyboard

[@duster8373]

the whole thing is quite special. i've had mine about a week now and it's so cool.

[@Kjhd9987hy]

so its a synth lol........just get a micro freak or something.

[@sub5electronics]

Not quite in the same league though is it…
