TERRA - first impressions
stereofonico 11.09.2023
Sound:
Terra is a highly versatile polyphonic and microtonal synthesizer. Its capabilities range from producing beautiful tones to intricate atonal noise, all with smooth and rapid transitions between these sonic extremes. Its sound is exceptionally expansive, evoking a sense of spaciousness in the pads it generates (Digs into your soul!). The inclusion of microtonality allows you to delve into more complex soundscapes, to craft your own scales and break free from the conventional Western note system. Online you will find plenty of examples, just dig a bit and you will see that you can grow from sci-fi stuff, to noise to church oriented soundscapes in matter of seconds.

The Interface:
Despite its unconventional shape, TERRA's interface proves surprisingly intuitive. Its absence of a screen means you won't find yourself navigating through labyrinthine menus. Virtually everything you need is readily accessible (or nearly so). However, I strongly recommend reading the manual (RTFM); dedicating just 30 minutes to this will significantly enhance your learning curve, enabling you to focus on the joy of playing and creating beautiful soundscapes.

Note: If you have particularly large or small hands, I would advise you to test it out in a shop first, as this may impact the instrument's usability (distance between the sensors is same for everyone)

Core of the Product (why buying it?)
Terra is fundamentally designed for PLAYING and PERFORMING. Its sensors exhibit remarkable sensitivity, providing a delightful level of expressiveness. In my opinion, Terra caters to those who relish the tactile experience of "touching" and "playing" rather than extensive programming. It's the kind of instrument that, once opened, throw you into a meditative session lasting hours, fostering a deep connection between "gesture" and "sound".


Price:
Yes, Terra comes with a substantial price tag. Why? Well, it's because the components used are of exceptional quality, and considerable effort has gone into conceptualizing and designing the instrument. We all understand that inexpensive equipment often falls short in durability. Personally, I have no regrets about the investment I made in this instrument (thus far). Sometimes, I simply open it and use it as a meditative practice.

Intriguing and awesome
Anonymous 03.09.2023
A big fan of Soma and been waiting for this since it was announced. It does not disappoint. So much to dig into and explore but also very intuitive to just plug in and play. The presets are all interesting and all can be tinkered with to unusual end. Paired with the Cosmos it really shines.

Typically great Thomann ordering and delivery too

Expand your idea of music creation

This machine makes such a diverse range of sounds. Its interface is very simple and intuitive. Output is stereo and very high quality.
It is essentially a solo instrument as it cannot be synced or clocked by external hardware, but this never feels like a limitation. It has arpeggiation, polyphony and so many other functions that are really only limited by ones imagination or number if available fingers.....or other body parts.....
