I bought one of these today on account of your videos. My local store had one in stock. My first synth. It seems like I've set myself up quite a challenge going for this out of the gate, but I just love the sound. Threw on some headphones and went into a meditative state almost instantly. Thanks for putting this video together. I don't think I would have figured this out on my own.

Well I hope you enjoy it. Drone synths are a bit niche compared to general purpose ones but I find the Lyra fun. Time to explore!

I got the lyra two weeks ago and had plenty of fun since. For the past few sessions I always ended them with just playing the feedback. letting it roar and tame it again to just let it roar again. Such a magical device! Have not played with the Hold/turning the voices on and off again yet. Learned something new from your video :) thank you!

"Put on your giant-ass reverb We're going out tonight!" :D Thank you for the insights. I'm still learning my Lyra8 but I'm already finding that (like the MatrixBrute) it needs subtle adjustments to really make it shine.

I got my lyra a few months back and had mixed feelings about it... I think i initially went about things in the wrong way... trying to control it and wield it like i did my other synths which just doesn't work. The thing just screamed at me and resisted my attempts to harness it. I was seriously considering selling it but after watching your videos, I learned to be gentle and attentive to the machine whilst playing it. Now its my favourite synth and I cant put it down. So thank you! 😊

I am super tempted to snag a used lyra 8 on reverb but I am hesitant to pull the trigger. Seems like a lot of money to spend on a drone machine.
@synthseeker
Жыл бұрын
It’s not cheap and it’s usage is very targeted. I’ve had mine for about four years now maybe longer? And the reason I still have it and that I don’t regret buying it is because nothing else sounds like it does and when I need it, it’s there, and it always delivers. It’s definitely not a universal synthesizer. It’s a machine tailor made for a couple sounds.
