SOMA WARP Multi-FX Hands-On Review
In the latest Sonic State Sonic Lab review, host Nick Batt takes an in-depth look at the new SOMA WARP, a new multi-purpose audio processing unit that offers 15 different effects.
The effects in WARP fall into three categories:
- Spatial effects — ranging from traditional reverbs to granular, experimental algorithms, with pitch-shifting, reverse and micro-loops. Most of the spatial effects feature extremely long decay times, all the way to infinity.
- Special effects — including flanger, sample rate/bit reduction, vintage tape simulation.
- Dynamic effects and filters — compressors, distortions, filters.
All the effects in this category also have their unique extended features, SOMA-style, and can be controlled using CV.
“It’s a pretty unique unit, with some unusual algorithms,” notes Batt. “It can be driven hard for additional saturation and, when combined with CV control, can take you places other FX would struggle to go.”
