  • Опубликовано: 6 сен 2024
  • This is a tutorials series for anyone who wants to learn how to use the Soma Labs Enner body patching synthesizer electronic instrument. If I get a response to this series, I will try to break things down into small videos that are easy to mentally digest and apply to your own electronic music. We will be exploring both east coast tonal and west coast avant-garde uses of the synthesizer. The Enner is especially good at ambience, noise, and soundscapes for film music.
    This first video will give you an overview of the different sections of the synth and show you some of what's possible to do only using your fingers. Please leave a comment with any questions or requests and a like if this was helpful.

    My ENNER,just left Customs in Russia,and I am chomping @The Bit.After Getting 2 Of Every Product SOMA Makes ,except DVINA,And Lyra8 FX,And Waiting For 2 Cosmos Units,I Think They Should Change Their Name From “SOMA’’,To “WAIT”.All Worth Waiting For Of Course.Love The SOMS Approach !!

      you'll enjoy this a lot! I live in NYC, so I think I get lucky with shipping from Russia. It's usually only a few days after it clears customs before I receive

      I definitely feel that way sometimes, but other times I enjoy trying to work within the limitation. I need to experiment if coins work on it the same way as the Lyra-8

    hi
    can we synchronize this machine with a pulsar, and other machines with cv/gate midi and other lfo?

    • @EthanJamesMusic1
      @EthanJamesMusic1  11 дней назад +1

      hi! you would have to manually sync by ear. There is no CV based sync

    Nice. Can I plug a mic directly in or do I need a preamp?

    • @EthanJamesMusic1
      @EthanJamesMusic1  Год назад +1

      I answered on the other video, but just in case, you would probably need a preamp, because I'm not sure the EXT input has enough gain. I've never tried that, because the internal piezo is so sensitive

      There is not unfortunately, but I have good results with doing it by ear.

    Is it all analogue, even the delay or with digital elements too? Thank you

    • @EthanJamesMusic1
      @EthanJamesMusic1  Год назад

      we got way in the weeds about this in the comments on one of the other videos, so I actually have an answer for you. The delay is not a completely "analog" bucket brigade. It uses a different chip. It does however, behave like a bucket brigade delay. You can have a listen on a later video to decide if that's a deal breaker

    • @EthanJamesMusic1
      @EthanJamesMusic1  Год назад

      ooo! I found it:
      here is the official answer from Soma:
      The Enner delay is a PT-2399 based delay with SOMA mods. Very close to Lyra delay but stereo. Though it's not 100% digital as all processing besides sound memory is analog

    • @iosifkalpaktsoglou2045
      @iosifkalpaktsoglou2045 Год назад

      @EthanJamesMusic1 Thank you. Not a fan of the pt chip. I find it noisy in a fake lo fi way.
