SOMA Rumble Of Ancient Times

Ive been trying to recreate a synthesiser created by the company Soma recently in Max. The thing that has taken the most time is recreating specific wave shapes from the manual (for both the LFOs and Oscillators) however it has lead me to have a better understanding on the fundamentals of wave shapes.

I decided to try to recreate this synth as I would like to own one but don’t have the available funds, and as a counter to the current culture of new novelty synthesisers that fuel an unsuitable economy.

The bulk of the synth is quite simple. The 4 dials/encoders control all the registers, with each bank being selected with an addition-based system. The complexity comes in the summing algorithms when combined with each modulated oscillator.

The user interface (copied directly from the synth itself and recreated as a vector file in illustrator) there are some mistakes in the text in the bottom right.
