Sound Models

Depending on the tuning, each instrument has a different sound character. Join us for a musical voyage of discovery.

The sound models on this page are the most commonly ordered Soma scales. These are the sound-models that are currently being produced on demand. Click on the link (if available) to open a Youtube-Clip of the sound-model.

Notation: 1+10 means that the upper side has one bass note (notes with a dome) and 10 regular notes (2+7 means two bass notes and 7 regular notes on the upper side) “Mutant” means that there are regular notes on the upper side that are not in a circular arrangement of notes and the bass note is off-set from the center.

This listing is divided in “major mood” (bright, uplifiting) and “minor mood” (dark, tragic, mysterious) sound models.
