SOMA Ornament 8 Organismic Sequencer - Secondhand

Full Description

Create evolving, unpredictable patterns

The SOMA Ornament 8 offers a radical departure from traditional sequencers by eliminating the concepts of tempo and memory storage. Instead, it features eight identical cells that interact in real-time to produce complex, ever-changing rhythmic patterns. Each cell processes incoming pulses, which can be transmitted, delayed, or altered, allowing for the creation of unique musical events that evolve naturally over time. This makes the Ornament 8 an ideal tool for those interested in exploring generative music and sound design that goes beyond pre-defined sequences.

100 percent analog for authentic sound

As a fully analog device, the Ornament 8 is capable of producing rich, organic sounds that are sensitive to environmental changes. This unpredictability introduces a level of chaos that can lead to the generation of intricate, pseudo-chaotic sequences. The analog nature of the device ensures that each performance is unique, with subtle variations that add depth and character to the sound. Whether you're creating stable, repeating patterns or complex, evolving compositions, the analog core of the Ornament 8 delivers a truly authentic musical experience.

Seamless integration with other systems

The Ornament 8 is designed to work seamlessly with other SOMA products, such as the LYRA-8 and PULSAR-23, as well as with Eurorack modules and any device that accepts CV control. This compatibility allows you to expand your creative possibilities by integrating the Ornament 8 into larger setups, where it can influence and be influenced by other devices. This interaction can lead to the creation of self-developing compositions and complex generative structures, making it a versatile addition to any modular setup.

Expandable and modular

Thanks to its modular design, multiple Ornament 8 units can be connected to form larger systems with 16, 32, or more cells. This expansion capability allows for even more complex and diverse behaviours, enabling the creation of intricate, evolving patterns that are impossible to achieve with a single unit. Whether used as a standalone device or as part of a larger modular system, the Ornament 8 offers limitless potential for sound exploration and experimentation.
