{"product_id":"soma-laboratory-ornament-8","title":"SOMA LABORATORY ORNAMENT 8","description":"\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eORNAMENT-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. \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003cspan\u003eORNAMENT can be controlled via Eurorack-compatible Control Voltage.

For controlling LYRA-8 we developed a special adapter for easy connection to the LYRA sensors while also preserving the ability to play it normally with your fingers.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\u003cp\u003eThe adapter attaches to LYRA’s surface using magnets which make installation easy and safe. ORNAMENT, as an organismic sequencer, complements LYRA’s organismic synthesis nature, making them a perfect pair.\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\u003cp\u003eORNAMENT-8 is based on a completely new principle of synthesis of behaviour. Instead of a vertical structure with a tempo generator on top and some memory for storing sequenced events, we have a dynamic equilibrium inside a horizontal structure without any memory, just an infinite “now” that generates the next moment of behaviour. In certain key aspects, it resembles a neural network where there is no difference between “processor” and “memory”, where functions are blurred and all structures are very flexible. Because the ORNAMENT is fully modular, you can connect any number of ORNAMENTs into a single network, creating very complex multi-dimensional structures with the same complex behaviour. For those with philosophical inclinations, ORNAMENT is a playground the size of a box of chocolates where you can study fundamental laws of life and society, going beyond linear logical thinking.\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\u003cp\u003eORNAMENT-8 was designed by Vadim Minkin, the new creative mind who recently joined SOMA laboratory. ORNAMENT is intended to be the first in a line of SOMA sequencers developing new principles of behaviour generation and control.     \u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\u003cp\u003eSPECIFICATIONS:\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\u003ctable\u003e\r\n\u003ctbody\u003e\r\n\u003ctr\u003e\r\n\u003ctd\u003eNumber of cells\u003c\/td\u003e\r\n\u003ctd\u003e8\u003c\/td\u003e\r\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\r\n\u003ctr\u003e\r\n\u003ctd\u003eNumber of pulse converters\u003c\/td\u003e\r\n\u003ctd\u003e4\u003c\/td\u003e\r\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\r\n\u003ctr\u003e\r\n\u003ctd\u003eNumber of 3.5 mm mini-jack Eurorack adapters\u003c\/td\u003e\r\n\u003ctd\u003e8\u003c\/td\u003e\r\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\r\n\u003ctr\u003e\r\n\u003ctd\u003eNumber of contacts (inputs and outputs)\u003c\/td\u003e\r\n\u003ctd\u003e78\u003c\/td\u003e\r\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\r\n\u003ctr\u003e\r\n\u003ctd\u003eInput and output voltage range \u003c\/td\u003e\r\n\u003ctd\u003e0‑10 volts *\u003c\/td\u003e\r\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\r\n\u003ctr\u003e\r\n\u003ctd\u003eMinimum cell delay time\u003c\/td\u003e\r\n\u003ctd\u003e50 ms *\u003c\/td\u003e\r\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\r\n\u003ctr\u003e\r\n\u003ctd\u003eMaximum cell delay time\u003c\/td\u003e\r\n\u003ctd\u003e50 seconds *\u003c\/td\u003e\r\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\r\n\u003ctr\u003e\r\n\u003ctd\u003eMaximum cell delay time at\u0026gt; Cv = 0 volts\u003c\/td\u003e\r\n\u003ctd\u003e 5 minutes *\u003c\/td\u003e\r\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\r\n\u003ctr\u003e\r\n\u003ctd\u003eSupply voltage\u003c\/td\u003e\r\n\u003ctd\u003e12 volt center-plus\u003c\/td\u003e\r\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\r\n\u003ctr\u003e\r\n\u003ctd\u003eCurrent Consumption\u003c\/td\u003e\r\n\u003ctd\u003e10-50 ma *\u003c\/td\u003e\r\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\r\n\u003ctr\u003e\r\n\u003ctd\u003eDimensions\u003c\/td\u003e\r\n\u003ctd\u003e266 x 255 x 54 mm\u003c\/td\u003e\r\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\r\n\u003ctr\u003e\r\n\u003ctd\u003eWeight\u003c\/td\u003e\r\n\u003ctd\u003e1.4 kg\u003c\/td\u003e\r\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\r\n\u003c\/tbody\u003e\r\n\u003c\/table\u003e\r\n\u003cp\u003e*As with any analog device, there may be a small variance in actual values.\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\u003cdiv class=\"wp-block-spacer\"\u003e \u003c\/div\u003e\r\n\u003cp\u003eIncluded:\u003cbr\u003eORNAMENT-8 — 1 pc.\u003cbr\u003ePower supply 12v 1a — 1 pc.\u003cbr\u003eMale‑male power cord — 1 pc.\u003cbr\u003e65 cm cable with alligator clips — 12 pcs.\u003cbr\u003e30 cm cable with alligator clips — 14 pcs.\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\u003cdiv class=\"wp-block-spacer\"\u003e \u003c\/div\u003e\r\n\u003cp\u003eAdditionally, you can purchase:\u003cbr\u003eSensor overlay for LYRA‑8 sensors\u003cbr\u003eOptional cable set with alligator clips\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"SOMA LABORATORY","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":41347596714157,"sku":"soma_ornament_8","price":879.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0606\/3449\/7197\/products\/soma_laboratory_ornament-8_top.jpg?v=1645059729","url":"https:\/\/www.detroitmodular.live\/products\/soma-laboratory-ornament-8","provider":"Detroit Modular","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
