"A MODERN SYNTH PLAYED LIKE A GUITAR OR A BASS
Elyra is played with the typical gestures of playing guitar and bass and all the energy that comes from it. You play with your whole body.
There are two strumming aera for strings, one dedicated to back and forth and another dedicated to bass and arpeggios.
Elyra is designed to be played by both righ-handed and left-handed people.
You can also play it placed on a table or on your knees like a groove box.
A POWERFUL AND UNIQUE COMPOSITION TOOL
With up to 16 voices polyphony, spread across 16 instruments/layers and with is powerful sequencer , Elyra is more than a groovebox, it is a composition tool.
You can have one instrument with 16 voices or 16 instruments with one voice and everything in between.
Because Elyra is battery powered, you can carry it anywhere with you and play for several hours.
You can play and sequence all your other instruments via MIDI port.
A SOUND ENGINE MADE FOR US BY KODAMO
At the core of Elyra there is a powerful and beautiful sound engine created for us by Kodamo.
It is a virtual analog engine based on substractive synthesis with just enough FM synthesis to offer a vast sound territory.
It has many parameters to sculpt and create a unique sound.
RAISED TOUCH BUTTONS
All Elyra buttons are touch sensitive pads made up of a slightly raised area allowing the user to feel physical feedback.
This is capacitive sensor technology which offers an extremely fast response time of 2 ms.
There are 5 distinct areas on the main panel:
the fretboard composed of 4 * 12 pads
the strumming area separated into two type, A and B
two assignable slider
an OLED screen with its wheel and its 8 contextual buttons"
Note Elyra supports both Guitar and Key modes. See https://bllinstruments.com for additional info.
