SOMA laboratory / Warp

WARP is a high-quality, multi-purpose audio processing unit. It can apply “power” and “magic” to virtually every instrument imaginable. It features 15 different effects, categorized into the following three types:

1. Spatial Effects
Covering everything from traditional reverbs to experimental algorithms like granular, these effects also feature pitch shifting, reversing, and micro-looping. Many possess extremely long decay times, capable of stretching to infinity. Setting the feedback rate above 1 enables the algorithm to self-oscillate, generating endless, rich, and vibrant soundscapes from any input sound. To maintain volume and tonal balance, all generative algorithms include a dedicated module that automatically controls the volume.

2. Special Effects
Flanger, Sample Rate/Bit Reduction, Vintage Tape Simulation, etc. All these special effects feature unique, SOMA-exclusive functions that create distinctive sound characters.

3. Dynamics Effects and Filters
Compressor, Distortion, Filter, etc. Effects in this category can be applied to rhythm section groups (submixes) or the entire mix, functioning as so-called “master effects.” These effects also incorporate SOMA-style expansion capabilities.

All these features make WARP ideal for spatial processing of any acoustic or electronic instrument—guitars, vocals, strings, synthesizers, and more. It is also well-suited for processing drums and the entire finished mix.
WARP employs premium audio chains and AD/DA converters, achieving quality equivalent to top-tier professional audio interfaces like APOGEE, FOCUSRITE, LEXICON, ECHO AUDIO, LINE 6, and NOVATION. This prevents sound degradation even under demanding conditions like processing the entire mix.
WARP features stereo inputs and outputs, supporting both balanced and unbalanced connections. All audio processing is digital, and the MIX control is digitally controlled. AD/DA resolution is 24-bit/48kHz, with internal digital processing operating at 32-bit IEEE precision.

WARP's interface is simple and intuitive, providing instant access to all functions, making it ideal for live performance. Furthermore, dedicated CV inputs are provided for all processing parameters, enabling control from Eurorack systems or any CV source.
