#soniclab #somasynth #visit
A couple of weeks back we were invited to visit the Soma Sound Machines factory in Warsaw, Poland. As well as a look at the first production models of the expressive Terra instrument, we got a look around their place.
PCBs and components are delivered here, the Through Hole hand soldered components are put onto the boards, any SMD (surface mount design) parts are sent off to the machine, units are tested put into the cases and shipped to distributors and customers.
Lyra 8 , Kosmos, Pulsar-23 and Ether are made here and pretty soon the new Terra will be too.
Its actually a pretty cottage style industry, surprisingly small but also very efficient.
Check out the other videos we show while we were there.

Full disclosure: we paid for our flights, they put us up for the night.

I never again want to hear someone say “Soma synths are expensive”. After watching this superb video they seem to be an absolute bargain.

@Patriotic_Eagle1995 Год назад

Something can be "expensive" without being "overpriced" or "poor value". Soma synths are expensive. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

@Bigger-Circuitry-Bigger-SOUND Год назад

People are stupid, modern Moog, Sequential, Korg etc are expensive as they are made like Behringer inside but soma gears are worth every penny for people that understand a bit about circuitry and how it effects the sound quality

@johnsaucerhunter Год назад

Hey Nick, really enjoyed this tour through the SOMA factory. Am hoping that you'll do many more like this as everyone has an idea on how and where they're manufactured at... but being able to tour the area makes it more tangible for your viewer's. This was an "11" out of "10", great Job SonicState!

@yatsoosh Год назад

I love Vlad's revolutionary creativity breaking old patterns. This is now joined by my sympathy for the work ethic in the place where his works are created. You can see with the naked eye that the work is carried out in an atmosphere of mutual respect and performed by enthusiasts. And I am also glad that it takes place in Poland and thanks to the positive energy of the main person behind this project, it breaks at least a little xenophobia prevailing in my country. Because Russia is not only violence, contempt, murder and Putin. They are also people who, despite their high standards, are unable to change the world they come from, so they change it elsewhere.

@ultimateXsounds Год назад

I had no idea it is a company from my country. I'm impressed. I hope that soon one of the SOMA devices will appear in our studio.

1000+ hours, what happened with your build, a lot of troubleshooting? I started mine 2 days ago, In/out, main pcb are done, I still have to finish the ctrl pcb, waiting for some toggle switches. Anyway, I hope that your beast is up and running and that you enjoy it :)

So glad to see SOMA moving out of fasist Russia to Poland. Great decision from Vlad and his team. I only wish that music instrument shops around the world do recognize this brave step and re-list Soma products back again as Polish product, not a Russian one which caused Soma be de-listed by many due to restrictions.Rspect to Nick and Sonic State for doing this.

Vlad, if you read here: I think it's possible to make the "sound check" to be much shorter and more automated. Practically without "ears". It could save a lot of "human hours" and save time/money... Maybe make your gear a bit cheaper while maintaining the same profit (or better).
