SOMA ETHER V.2 Manual

ETHER
Go to a grey jungle. Slide up the power switch. The yellow LED shows that ETHER is ready to
take you to a sound journey.
Use the upper wheel (high-frequency amplification and regeneration) for focusing ETHER on
the most interesting dynamical layer of sound. The stronger source the lower amplification
has to be.
Use the lower wheel (volume) to mix ETHER sound with your brainwaves in the best
proportion.
NOTE: in the high position of the VOLUME and AMPLIFICATION wheels ETHER may get to a self-
feedback and start to produce crackles. To avoid this don't set both wheels close to the maxi-
mum simultaneously. Use sensitive and not "deaf" headphones so you can work with low
volume set.
Move, checking different points and directions in space.
Check by one or both external antenna pins different conductive objects. Touch it by your
fingers. Try to use a piece of wire connected to it finding more cool sounds.
If you have found the Hidden Sound Treasure, stay still for a while, breathing deeply and thin-
king about the meaning of life...
1 Amplification wheel - in quiet environments set it closer to maximum, in noisy ones -
closer to its minimum.
