1. Glad to see that SOMA Terra is branching out with respect to electronic music unlike other manufactures who are still rooted in their old ways. I am still on the limb waiting to see how popular this product becomes.

   Here is some free marketing: If a Soma Terra plays in the forest and no one is a around to hear it, does it make a sound?

   1. Impressive synth, I like the experimental nature of it and if you make horror film/sci fi sound tracks you need this

2. i love this synth so much

   1. Yes I do, but I’m weigning up the pros and cons of an Osmose as it truly is an evolution of the keyboard synth.
      Pacifist genius and telnyashka wearing Vlad Kreimer doesn’t get my cash this time.
      (see Youtube video titled ‘PULSAR-23 (SOMA laboratory)’ 4m49s for enthralling shots of Vlad’s telnyashka. I’m sure he’s only wearing it ironically?)

      1. i already own two Pulsar-23 and a Lyra-8

         1. How long can you keep this going? Surely you’ll grow up one day?
            It undermines Synthtopia’s reputation and exploits its good faith.

            1. Cheers mate

      2. First the awful antisemitic comments on the Waves post and now more hate, like could we just enjoy the music for ones.

      3. maybe he considers himself part of the Mitki movement (famously pacifist, famously telnyashka wearing)

         1. Definitely a possibility.
            But Vlad’s 96 page book ‘Redefining Conscience in an Era of Rapid Change’ has no mention of it.
            So can you find any evidence to back up your suggestion?

3. I had no interest in this but hen I watched 15 minutes of this explanation and listened to the sounds it makes and now I’m hoping to get my hands on one. Looks so fun to play.

4. put me down for turtles again.

5. Yeah… so I have to cheaply admit.. I want one.. but pricing is wha t has prevented me from diving in so far.

   1. They haven’t announced the price…so not knowing the price has kept you from diving in to being interested in it?

      1. Do your due diligence.
         The price has been discussed at least twice.

         1. It literally says SOMA hasn’t revealed the price in the article.

            1. 314159 Ruble

            2. Riiight, dig your heels in.
               Jeff said the price is prohibitive. Do you think he pulled a price out of thin air or has heard SOMA staff discuss the price?

         1. i love that episode. Cheeeekov!

6. Probably one of the worse designs out there.

   1. Have you played it?

      1. Why would I wanna play it? From the shape of the wood to how everything is placed it all looks like something I want to avoid. I’m not sure how big the components inside are but I wouldn’t be surprised if this device could’ve been a lot cheaper, smaller and easier to control with a simple plastic case.

         1. cheaper, smaller and easier doesn’t sound very musical.
            please stop you make me want it

         2. How can you judge the design without playing it? Or did you mean you don’t like how it looks?

   2. depends on you…

   3. Yeah, it is so horrible with innovative people that are thinking out of the box and is making something beyond the designs we see from others, that often are just duplicated designs from the past.

   4. its very beautiful, definitely on my wishlist

      1. Whilst I agree with fake Sonic, it’s not on my wishlist because a pacifist, genius or not, in times of war is actually a coward.
         Mr Kreimer should be using his talents to either help Ukraine expel the invaders, or to support Putin. His actions suggest he’s torn between the two.

         1. This is about a beautiful synth not any of the negative whataboutism you talk about, Calling me fake says more about you since i have used this nickname since 2006. Something tells me you have no idea how the comment system works on synthtopia.

            1. Smells like you’re spewing pure bull.
               I like to be proved wrong though, so by all means provide some evidence.

               1. And what evidence did you have in mind Judge ?

                  1. Any.

                     1. Give me a email to send screenshots to

                        1. So you can or can’t give a link to any posts you’ve made on Synthtopia or other comments or forums using that moniker?
                           If you need to provide screenshots then please use a file upload service. Surprise, surprise, I don’t want to stick my personal email address on here.

                           1. The fact that it took you 3 days to reply and stil havent found out to make a free gmail amazes me. No i think ill stick to this nickname like glue. Your Honor | Case closed

                           2. “The fact that it took you 3 days to reply and stil havent found out to make a free gmail amazes me. No i think ill stick to this nickname like glue. Your Honor | Case closed”

                              lol, such a hero!
                              So that’s exactly no evidence and a crap excuse.
                              Which isn’t a surprise given the juvenile level of every other of fake Sonic’s comments.
                              I sincerely hope you direct your creativity more towards your audible efforts than your written ones.
                              Bravo.

                           3. What you gonna do about fake Sonic

                           4. lol theres a 3rd sonic now, Hey boys 🙂

                           5. Let it eat me up inside until it destroys my family.

7. VST in a tree.

   1. lol

   2. Yeah everything is fake, even He-man is not real though he has a tiger, which he rides on called “Cringer”
