SOMA LABORATORY Ornament-8 Organismischer Sequenzer

Organismic Sequencer

Soma 's Ornament-8 is a sequencer with a completely different concept than most sequencers on the market. Created to interact with Soma's Pulsar-23 and Lyra-8 instruments (via sensor adapter), Ornament-8 is the creative control center between these instruments and even a Eurorack modular system. Without its own tempo source, this sequencer relies on an external clock like the LFO of Pulsar-23. Instead of tracks, there are cells (eight in total) that generate switching states, control voltages and hold times. In order for the tracks to interact with each other and/or to cycle, the corresponding contacts are connected with alligator clip cables. This explains the nickname "organismic sequencer"; in order for it to become a whole, it is necessary, as in nature, to connect individual elements together so that the sum of all elements forms a larger unit. How extensive this unit is, is up to the user.
