Explore infinite sound possibilities

The SOMA Laboratory RoAT offers unparalleled sonic flexibility with its four oscillators, each featuring tunable waveforms and individual LFOs. These oscillators can be independently modulated to create a wide variety of sounds, from harsh noise to intricate rhythmic patterns. This level of customisation allows you to experiment with and craft sounds that are truly unique, pushing the boundaries of your creativity.

Unique tone shaping with 1,536 algorithms

RoAT’s sound engine is powered by an impressive 1,536 summing algorithms, each offering a different way to mix and modulate your oscillator signals. These algorithms include FM synthesis, ring modulation, and bitwise operations, among others, providing you with a vast array of tonal variations to explore. This means you can create anything from traditional synthesizer sounds to completely new, unheard textures. The variety and depth of these algorithms ensure that you’ll never run out of creative options, making RoAT a valuable tool for both live performance and studio work.

Distinct Lo-Fi character with 8-bit filter

At the core of RoAT’s distinctive sound is its 8-bit resonant lowpass filter. This filter adds a gritty, Lo-Fi quality to your sounds, perfect for those looking to infuse their music with a vintage, retro vibe. The filter is not just a nostalgic nod to the past; it’s a powerful tool for shaping your sound in ways that modern, high-fidelity filters simply can’t.

Portable and environmentally friendly

RoAT’s design philosophy extends beyond its sound capabilities, embracing ecological responsibility by using a simple 8-bit microcontroller. This chip, similar to those found in old electronic devices, is efficient and consumes minimal power, allowing RoAT to run for up to 130 hours on just a few AAA batteries. This not only makes RoAT an incredibly portable instrument but also highlights a sustainable approach to technology, reusing components that would otherwise contribute to electronic waste. It’s a perfect example of how innovation can merge with environmental consciousness, providing musicians with a reliable, eco-friendly tool for their creative endeavours.
