Soma Ornament-8

ORNAMENT-8 is an organismic sequencer, or in a broader sense, a synthesizer of behaviour. A unique feature of ORNAMENT is its fully horizontal modular structure that consists of eight equal and independent cells which are special delay lines. It’s in fact an analog computer with a temporal dimension, the behaviour of which is determined by patching and adjusting the temporal properties of each cell involved in the generation of the behaviour.

• New sequencer design without a defined tempo or measure and with freely configurable playback structure
• The Ornament-8 provides eight independent cells that are activated/deactivated with impulses and held for an adjustable time
• A sequence is generated by creatively daisy-chaining cells using patch cables
• Available for each cell are: Inputs and outputs for CV and triggers, trigger outputs for Lyra-8 and Pulsar-23, bypassing or doubling a cell’s duration, phase switch, adjustable cell duration, and buttons for cell activation/deactivation
• Four freely assignable gate-to-trigger signal converters
• Four adapters from 3.5 mm mini-jack to metal pins
• 12 V DC power output for external devices
• Voltage range: 0 – 10 V
• Cell duration: 50 ms – 5 mins
• Dimensions (W x D x H) : 266 x 255 x 54 mm
• Weight : 1.4 kg
• Includes 12 V DC power supply, power cable for external devices, and patch cables (14 x 30 cm and 12 x 65 cm) with crocodile clips
