SOMA flux

First day with the Soma Flux! exploring a unique magnet-controlled synthesizer

I have been eagerly awaiting the arrival of this synthesizer from Soma Labs​ since I preordered it in January, and now the Flux has landed. I decided to film and record my first jam with it, uncut, so you can see what it’s like to play it with no prior experience. I decided to do one of my favorite things to do with a synth, starting with ambient loop (in this case a recording I took at night in Ha Noi, Vietnam) and live-looping a variety of sounds into it to create a soundscape. The results? I am very, very pleased!

"Group Session" second jam with the Soma Flux - does it play well with other synthesizers?

Following up, now I try the Flux in the context of a patch from my semi-modular synths (Softpop 2 and Erebus) in C-minor, to see how hard it is to play in tune with other sounds. Results? It’s definitely easier for a beginner to play than a violin.

I think this is a very interesting synthesizer in the right hands. This demonstration piqued my interest. https://youtu.be/GpdSa54cr34?si=6KvWxbzQbbldcQH7
