SOMA Laboratory Flux

SOMA Laboratory Flux: The next generation non-contact magnetic synthesizer

The SOMA Laboratory Flux is a revolutionary instrument that combines the sound worlds of classical and modern music. Inspired by the musicality of traditional instruments such as the violin or theremin, Flux enhances them with innovative technologies and unique expressive possibilities. With its non-contact magnetic control, this synthesizer offers a completely new way of manipulating sound and allows musicians to play with impressive precision and dynamics.

SOMA Laboratory: Advanced musical instruments for creative minds

SOMA Laboratory stands for creative innovation and the highest quality in the world of musical instruments. With the Flux, SOMA pushes the boundaries of conventional synthesizers and creates an instrument that is suitable for both academic music and modern compositions. SOMA combines state-of-the-art technology with artistic freedom to provide musicians with an unparalleled tool for sound creation.

Technology and design of the SOMA Flux

The Flux is a professional high-end synthesizer based on magnetic principles. The two magnetic arcs allow touchless control of numerous sound parameters, offering a high degree of expressiveness and flexibility. Unlike the Theremin, Flux uses multipolar magnetic sensors that register the position and movement of the arcs. This allows precise control of sound parameters such as pitch, volume, modulation and synthesis parameters.

Flux's synthesis engines include distortion, FM and physical modeling, which can be switched in real time. With six continuous octaves, monophonic, duophonic and polyphonic modes as well as spatial effects, Flux offers a wide sound spectrum ranging from sub-bass to ultrasonic. The built-in preset function allows complete settings to be saved and instantly recalled, making Flux a powerful tool both on stage and in the studio.

Unique expressive possibilities and intuitive control

Flux opens up a new dimension of sound shaping for musicians. The right hand controls pitch, volume, octaves and modulation, while the left hand influences up to 12 synthesis parameters. Every movement and angle of the bows is detected by the high-precision sensors, allowing up to 16 sound parameters to be controlled simultaneously. The unique touchless keyboard enables seamless sound control without quantization, giving the performance exceptional plasticity and beauty.

Buy recommendation: Why the SOMA Flux is a must-have for musicians
