Flux Digital Performance Synthesizer

Imagine waving magnetic bows through the air to sculpt sounds, like a theremin evolved for the digital age—SOMA's latest pushes gestural control into uncharted territory with multipolar sensors that track position, tilt, and even polarity flips for fluid expression.

This digital powerhouse packs multiple DSP engines—virtual analog, FM, physical modeling, 8-bit math, and bit-bending—each tuned as a complete instrument for instant timbral depth, with built-in spatial effects and in-house high-end converters for pristine stereo outs plus a headphone jack. The long, slim frame (nearly 40 inches by 4.5 by 1.2) houses a 12-tone marked keyboard on the right for stable pitch across six continuous octaves (expandable to ultrasonic via transposition), while the left side handles timbre shifts. Right-hand bow grips pitch on X, volume on Z, and dual modulations via X/Y tilts; left-hand's six-pole sensor unlocks up to 12 parameters by flipping poles, totaling 17 real-time controls without touching the surface—add staccato mode, quantization with vibrato tweak, monophonic/duophonic/12-voice polyphony, 37 full-state presets, and expression pedal input for even more nuance.

Players are already buzzing about its tour-tough, no-moving-parts build and how it unlocks intuitive performances that feel acoustic yet wildly electronic—some note the learning curve for precision, but most praise the addictive freedom once it clicks.
