Soma Laboratory Enner Night Frog

Description

ENNER is a very expressive sound tool that can generate bits, pads, FX, noises, clicks, glitches, but also function as a cool vocal mic with built-in analog FX and much more! A musician with a rich imagination and whos experienced in playing ENNER can perform an entire exciting gig using just this synth.

As an instrument, ENNER is a unique analog synthesizer with the key principle being that all signals that make sound pass through and are managed by your body. Your hands become the central part of the circuitry. Touching different contact pads with different parts of your fingers and palms with different amounts of pressure, letting signals pass through your body defines the mixing, volume, timbre, feedback and other parameters of synthesis. Human skin has much more complex electric properties than we think. Our skin provides not just resistance but also some capacitive properties and even nonlinear dependence of conductivity from current, its direction and time during which the current was applied. All of this affects the sound, making you the key part of the synthesis process.

All pots of ENNER are metallic and also function as inputs or outputs. Touching a pot can change not only the parameters but also patch the audio signals.

Array of filters
Pads DIR direct input (no filters)
Pads HPF highpass filter in
Pads BPFH bandpass filter high mid in
Pads BPFL bandpass filter low mid in
Pads LPF lowpass filter in
(L left channel, R right channel)

Pink noise generator
NOISE noise output

Delay
Pads DLY(blue) delay in
Pads DLY(orange) delay out
(L left channel, R right channel)
Pots delay time (L and R) also time modulation inputs
The UROBOROS pot feedback (both channels)
Pot BIZZARE delay self-modulation

Piezo
Pad PIEZO OUT the output
Pot PIEZO GAIN piezo amplification (also piezo output)

The five-voice synth
Pads OUT 1-5 outputs of the voices
Pads MOD 1-5 modulation inputs of the voices (try to connect them with OUT)
Pads RING 12, 23, 34 outputs of ring modulators that multiply outputs of different voices
Pad MOD 5- an additional modulation input for the fifth voice (try to connect it with +12)
Pots TUNE 1-5 frequency of the voices (also voices outputs)
Pot PITCH transposing all voices at once.

Rhythm\Bass synth
Pads PULSE 1-6 output of binary dividers
Pads &1, 2, 3 additional outputs that are logical AND of different PULSE outputs.
Pot TEMPO the frequency of the source generator

External
Socket EXT external in
Pad EXT connected to EXT socket tip

Power
+12V center + 0.2A. ENNER requires a good stabilized and filtered PSU. We recommend contemporary switching mode PSUs with a wide input range. The PSU is included.
