Stimming: 15 Minutes with SOMA LABORATORY Rumble Of Ancient Times
ฝัง
- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 29 ก.ย. 2024
- Stimming is back for another 15 Minutes with and this time he dives into the SOMA LABORATORY Rumble Of Ancient Times aka The RoAT, an 8-bit noise synthesizer and sequencer capable of a wide variety of sounds, ranging from dense noise scapes to diverse glitching rhythmic patterns.
Lying at the heart of the RoAT is four sound oscillators, each with tuneable waveforms and an individual LFO. The synth was designed and programmed by Kakos Nonos, a new addition to the SOMA development team who brought his creative touch to this machine. Let’s see what Stimming can come up with and hear his thoughts about this strange little synthesizer, currently on the market for a mere 155,- Euros.

i’m now at the point where i hit like right when a stimming video starts and i never regret it when it ends. love you stimmy ❤
Sounds on par with what most modular synth buyers produce, at a fraction of the price. Sold!
wasted money
These comments are so conservative. Wasn’t electronic music supposed to be about the future and not nostalgia?
Nah, it’s all about 909 clones and old old Rolands and Moogs 😂
Soma stuff is all so wild. Still gassing hard for a Pulsar23.
Lyra8 been on my list for a minute
I like this device, meaning to pick one up. It's like a synth/percussion/drone machine from the future harking back to a digital past before some sort of cataclysm.
As Martin says, it's one you want to sample. One-shots and loops seem to pour out of this thing. It's not so useful as a performance-based synth, but for the size and price, I think it's a perfect box of nastiness.
Exactly
I would like to vote for stimming to look at the new drumlogue!
Drumlogue sounds so bad though lol
@@SonicVibe it does and it doesn't. Just wait till new user effects and sounds can be added just like the NTS1. Plus it's not bug ridden.
@@SonicVibe yeah. I've not been impressed by reviews so far
I thought Bobeats got some good sounds out of it. Also for what ever reason when ever someone demos the sequencer and sample flipping per step, I instantly think of Stimming. I predict he makes it sound good and he likes it!
@@SonicVibe I've not been madly impressed with the demos but I think it was given to people who haven't used a Korg drum synth before.
For example you NEED to use the boost effect for kicks to sound good on the Korg stuff, has been like that for 20 years now going back to the ER-1
He says "its all rubbish" and then it literally starts screaming at him 🤣🤣🤣🤣 14:52
Everybody needs a bit of calculated chaos in their lives. I love this thing. Honestly... 15 minutes just wasn't long enough.
I would take those UAD pedals instead.
I love this machine. Its fun, and sounds so original. Loads of stuff is borderline unusuable, but it can get so groovy as well. Lovely for industrial sounds as well.
Btw, i can highly recommend the interview/documentary about the creator Kakos Nonos over on Vlad Kreimers youtube (soma creator). Its a really really special instrument, made with old east european fridge chips (no joke!) and inspired by traditional east european instruments (no joke either!!). Really makes the machine even more wonderful.
Even with a review of a toaster the Stimming videos would be interesting
That was delightfully weird. I like watching these for Martin's approach to instruments, thanks for the vid!
random is on bank 7. pot 3 gives you the amount of randomness, and pot 4 gives you the speed in which the parameters change.
love mine: not sure any piece of gear makes me laugh like the RoAT does. I think someone below explained the randomness and speed of random change being in row 7 of the matrix.
The other key feature about the chaos button to help getting ‘useful’ changes is that whatever row is active on the matrix when you press the chaos button is ‘protected’. So you might like the frequency of the oscillators and so go to that row of the matrix before hitting chaos etc.
Its all greek to me: kakos= bad nonos= godfather. Ancient times, sounds like somethings brewing on olympus.. or hades?
my new favorite music gear series. i still love factmags against the clock producer challenge, but this is the best gear review series for me now. thank you sir stimming.
so for the little bit of chaos you use binary code bottom 3 buttons on the left add them to 7 and then tweak the 2 knobs labeled on matrix in row 7 for subtle changes to patch
As with all Soma gear, sweet spots are hard to come by, but when you get there, you acheive something compelling, and highly unusual. Can't wait to pair this with the Pulsar-23, and sample the hell out of it.
100%. Couldn‘t say it better.
I'm actually quite intrigued by the ROAT. It has so much potential for freaky chaos, so I guess it feels _very_ satisfying when one actually managed to create something musically interesting on it. Feels a bit like walking over a pile of dirt, looking for some gems hidden inbetween...
Also, I saw some ambient drone vids with the ROAT, so if handled delicately, I suppose it can produce some charming material in a predictable way.
💯
It does, that's how I use it.
Thank you for killing all the mosquitoes in my zip code.
The sweetspots are amazing but seemingly few. Is there a similar device in the eurorack format?
soma makes some amazing and innovative instruments, but i dont know what they want to do with this one :D...
If you want a good 8 Bit Synthesizer, i would go with the sonicware liven 8 bit. Fun little box which sounds amazing!
or you could have both =D
This is to make dronescapes and noisy distorted worlds. It's not really a synth and more like the Lyra in that it's an a instrument you have to tame.

Some interesting bleep bloops for sure.
at about 13 mins I heard some early/mid 70s miles. very cool that lat bit of jamming
Another chaos infused car alarm and another TH-camr defeated by a Soma device 😅
circular randomness, also known as chaos 🙂
Sounds like a pocket operator
It’s like a pocket operator on acid though. It’s really fun
needs 4 outputs!
Martin Du bist einfach der Geilste! Man kann die Sounds und den Rhythmus in Deinem Gesicht ablesen.. herrlich! ❤
I didn't know you knew Morse code, how dare you say that about my mother!
He has many talents
Amazing demo 🔝🔝🔝
amazing
What do you think of the Roland Aira Compact Series Devices?
This thing is fun ☺️
Wow 😳
Stimming => ganz bestimmt gute Stimmung!
Has stimming never video reviewed the Lyra-8? That needs to happen. Soma makes the coolest stuff.
During my break at the Mental Institute this will be great. 🧠🪓
This was not really enjoybale for me so waiting for the next one
Try rewatching it muted.
😂
Stimming can you pls make a vid on how to make 'audio sausages for octatrack' on a free computer program? :D
@14:46 that's what you get for insulting it. 😂
He deff needs some help with this one :)
Ahh, a machine for ASMR clicks!
Having $700 of pedals for a $150 unit seems overkill though
fx gotta sound good!
Tbh, that sounds like an ideal signal chain.
@@iNuchalHead I like your style!
8:15 really nice
Stimming, I would love to see you have fun with a ROAT, the Strega and, MG Monolith. I believe in you!
There is a ROAT review already
@@musictalk-tech and, it’s great. But I was saying I’d enjoy seeing a jam with the three above mentioned pieces of kit.
Dry sound only please! For my sanity 😆
Boring demo
Timer at 8:13 top loop
yeah... horrible..
You have to find the beauty inbetween.
First time I was glad the youtube ad interupted the video 😂
"This is all rubbish." Clearly Stimming has no love for Throbbing Gristle and other pioneers of industrial electro :(
Awful, sorry 😕
You have to see the potential and like he said find the little Sounds / Samples out of the chaos.
Anyone get further than 2:37?
