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

Kudos to Viktor: that was quite an amazing testing jam👍

11:45 Best moment for me in this interesting informative video... Seeing them grooving to electronic dance music... You just know this company is legit.

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.

Man... This makes me love these people even more.

Absolutely excellent, I hope all the people who whine that SOMA is too expensive get to see this. Ain’t no cheap way to produce quality. Thanks for this, excellent 👌

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!

I adore my Lyra 8. These guys are legends.

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.

Good to see Vlad's safe in Poland!

You're the man, Nick! Thanks for the tour. And thank you to the Soma team

I built a DIY Lyra-8. Took me hundreds of hours [originally said "1000+"; that's a silly guess and wrong]. I'm amazed at the talent of all these people!

Soma's stuff exudes quality. This video gives you an idea why. These people work hard, and produce excellent stuff.

11:47 Nick cracks a smile when the beat kicks in.

Wow, after watching this, Soma synths are past awesome. Really wish I could afford one. These synthesizers are phenomenal. Go Soma😊

Nice testing jam at the end! Quite weird (for me) in green but I LOVE my Pulsar-23 in white. ❤️

Great to see SOMA "internals". My Lyra8 was a wonderful instrument. I sold it and regret it. When I opened the Lyra to take a look inside ... not only the sound is fabulous also the Lyra internal is a masterpiece.

This is what we want to see! I adore this company, how it works, what it produces, how it shapes the contemporary musical landscape. Kudos to Vlad and his team(s). Thanks for this Nick. P.S. I'm steadily moving towards the purchase of my second piece of Soma equipment, and I don’t intend to stop there. Exciting stuff!

Wow. Super cool. Thanks for taking the time to nip over to Warsaw.

Vlad is a genius and an incredibly creative brain.

love these people....i met most of them at the superboot. amazing human beings. regards to all them. especially much love to Grzegorz.....what a lovely man he is!!!

Wow, absolutely fantastic 👍 Thank you Nick for your tour. Pleasure to have someone actually pointing out how much effort and dedication it takes to produce and test something as complicated as Pulsar 23. You rock!

I enjoyed watching that and thinking "my Lyra 8 was there!"

Thanks, Soma and Nick for an interesting tour. Great to see how my Soma products are made. Looking forward to the Terra but not sure I could sit tests a Pulsar all day every day.

I have a Terra. It’s remarkable. Love it.

The last minutes jam was fantastic :) thanks for the video :)

Out of nothing a fat drum track to test the machine...absolut fantastic..🎉

I really enjoy seeing independent company tours and the people behind the instruments. Cheers!

Yes, I enjoyed that too. Really interesting seeing how it's put together. I love my Soma stuff. Great quality and superb sound.

What a amazing place thank you for the tour.

Damn, guess I'm gonna have to pick up a soma machine after this :P

I bought a Lyra-8 last year and it's probably the best quality build I've seen or felt on a piece of electronic music equipment. Now I have a better understanding why.

A lot of respect to the people working in this factory.

Excellent tour. Thanks.

That amazing tech at the end performed one of the most effective publicity out there! Now I want one. Give him a bonus!

A super cool device!

Wonderful to see the siblings of my beautiful Lyra-8 getting lovingly hand crafted! Thank you.

The new S.T.A.L.K.E.R. DLC looks insane! Great video btw

so good!

Great company! Just want to support them more and more.

Can't wait to own a pulsar, Soma is an amazing company with real integrity!

It was nice! Thank you for sharing with er'body, Sonicstate. :) Awesome factory and people, SOMA Sound Machines in Warsaw! :)

when you are in poland, visit the opther polich companies as well. Xaoc for example.

Soma rules!!!

Great team, all very nice and open individuals, superb products, well done!!!

Great tour. These SOMA people do amazing work.

Love these videos! I'm excited to see more.

Brilliant vid thx

whata rare behidn the scenes view :)

Excellent video - thank you for sharing. There is a lot of talent going into those units. I can't wait to get my hands on one of their units. Cheers!

Nice one

Glad to see Lyra-8 still is in production. Really special gear.

Fantastic insight and great to see Grzegorz. Dealt with him via email, great bloke! I've got two Lyra 8 and a Cosmos. They are unique, quirky and VERY well made instruments. Worth every penny.

I love soma

Cool!

I WANT TO BUY THEIR PRODUCT. GENIUS POLAND.

That was amazing, and it's clear that the Soma staff give a shit. Awesome.

Absolutely fascinating. I am fortunate to own a few bits of SOMA kit and this video confirms the build quality. Excellent. Thanks for uploading!

They are brilliant! I have bought the Cosmos and am hoping to get the Lyra-8 at some point!

Wonderful video. From excellent people comes excellent gear. Love my SOMA gear.

Interesting to see how the synths are made... very cool tour.

I always love factory tours - love my SOMA Labs kit :)

F! Nick visited Warsaw and I didn’t knew about it! He managed to sneak here silently, like a PWM’d square wave to the full!!!

Awesome. Great video. Inspiring company.

super cool

unexpected liveset from the man himself Viktor

😍I love Soma Sound Machines.

Wowww that pulsar jam 🤩

Still out of my discretionary income range but wwwwow. I can see that every penny spent would be worth it. Super cool to see this hands-on process up close.

They are very close to making my KINGDADDY-MACHINE🎼

Great video

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.

My baby was made right there

I tried them at Superbooth but recently I borrowed a Lyra 8 it's ace!!

lovely video. thanks for the insights

SOMA Labs factory tour satiated my organization fetish.

I wonder if they need a custodian 🤔I would volunteer just to witness the magic

Brawo panowie.Nie wiedziałem że w Polsce to robią.

You guys gotta focus on this kinda content. The moog content with the matriarch and the engineers is what made me buy a matriarch. Really hoping there is a 30-60min (at least) interview with vlad coming up.

interesting to think about testing an electronic instrument by really *playing* it in the same way one would a guitar or piano versus just checking certain parameters, speaks to a concern for the functionality of these as instruments, not just sound modules

EPIC

"What are you doing, Viktor?! You are supposed to test our products not lay down a sick beat!" "This is the sound of me testing, boss."

I need one of those olive green Pulsars.

So good! Happy to own two pieces of kit from them. What was that patch at the end during the impromptu jam? What he did with the effects was awesome.

Great Made In MOSKOW and Building in Polonia...great!

It’s super interesting to see the factories of our favorite studio gear. Thanks for the tour! I would love to own a Soma synth one day.

If you can't watch the whole video, skip to 11:15 to see an awesome jam

i love the some guys

8:48 this was for Andrew Huang

SOMA'$ PIPE came close to the D.Machine but I need hands free with zero latency in order to play drums and vocal synths simultaneously.🎵🎧,(preferably Bass sounds split with brass on upper register )

What kind of fancy camera-equipment is Nick wearing on his chest? Maybe a bit off topic but, nice to see these people having a descent job in Poland where a lot others have to work outside the country. Cool stuff they make btw.

That gentlemen hello was very strange.

I have had no idea that SOMA is from my country. I am proud and a little sad that i already bought Volca Modular instead ROAT (if it only have CV or MIDI😢 it will be nobrainer).

A yellow Lyra does it for me

Oh, Soma gear is made here in Warsaw? I didn't know that. I might try to find the place and go through their trash just in case I find a discarded Lyra 8, or Ether, or whatever 😉

Vlad, my dream is to work with you 😍

So they are in Poland now?

11:47 :)

Viktor getting paid to DAWless jam… 😮

That’s the answer to copyrighted music on a video!
