Back from the Musikmesse

Great time meeting friends and showcasing the new devices

Some feedback on Gearslutz here and here

Built around the old "analog computing" technique, Somma is designed to provide deep control on the dynamic harmonic content of audio tracks, stems, mixes, masters.

Somma features eight balanced input channels with individual saturation model selection (six independent configurations available on each channel) and saturation level controls, providing deep control on the amount of dynamic harmonic enhancement and on the behavior of each channel.

Deeper control is available on the stereo bus, with two separate bands of harmonic control (low band for punch and high band for air), saturation and output level controls.

Several units can be chained together to expand the system and make more channels available.

Note: this is a hardware device, available as a ready device or as a diy kit.

Note: delivery time around two weeks.

Including a fully discrete signal path and input and output transformers, Ferro is a passive stereo device (no mains) that dynamically adds mid and high frequency range presence, weight and open-ness to tracks, stems, mixes and masters.

Including custom inductors and transformers, Ferro also features a switchable inter-channel (left-right) coupling control to set the amount of galvanically insulated interaction between the channels, happening in the selected range.

Left and right channels can be used as mid-side channels (adding an encoding and decoding stereo matrix, easily available in the digital audio workstation) or as two separate mono bands by chaining them.

Note: this is a hardware device, available as a ready device or as a diy kit.
