Lyra8-1 // Soma Lyra-8 Organismic Synthesizer

Published on Jun 11, 2018 Lost For Words

"Warning: harsh tones and heavy distortion ... and hopefully you like that kind of thing!

I've had the Lyra 8 for 4 days now and have spent a few moments with it. It's a crazy, crazy synth unit but there are moments of design genius and beauty that dispel any doubts I've had about buying it!

Here I'm playing it without touching the sensors and I've created a kind of 3 track piece. Bringing up the Hold and Sharp knobs to fade in the parts. No external CV input.

Voices 7&8 come in first and they have LFO modulation engaged. The complex LFOs are set to OR have sync off - creating a pitchy pattern fed to those two voices

Voices 3&4 are FM cross-modulated by 1&2 and so you see me playing the Mod knob above 1&2 in order to change the pitch back and forth.

Voices 5&6 are set to a higher pitch drone to bring in some suspense towards the end, along with heavier distortion. I've added a little reverb to smudge the hard edges.

Subtle feedback modulation and some slower LFO settings create some wonderful sounds from the Lyra. Whenever I turn this thing on I get lost in it for hours... 6 or 7 hours!"

"Quick demo of the pairing of an FH-2 MIDI/CV converter and a Joué MIDI controller. Two voices are being controlled with pitch/pressure/Y control. Another slider operates a filter."

Moog Grandmother // Gram Jam No. 2

Published on Jun 11, 2018 Chimy Music

"Gram Jam round two! These are seriously fun to make. Still totally digging this synth. I've learned a few tips and tricks since my last video. I'd imagine I'm probably a couple hundred hours short of fully understanding what this thing is capable of.

This jam is actually a re-work of one of my older synthesizer compositions entitled, 'Analog 5.' Once again, other than the drums, all sounds were created using the Moog Grandmother. Hope you enjoy!"

"NEW ALBUM: : http://opaltapes.com/album/songs-for-...

This track sums up a beautiful month of touring Germany, Czech and Croatia. Recorded on the beach the Lighthouse Festival in Porec, in between soundcheck and my performance on the beautiful modular floor there. You can hear birds from Brno, voices from Prague and the sea."

"Palindrome is a granular morph plotting sampler geared toward experimental sound design.

The basic concept behind Palindrome is to fuse four granular samplers with a coordinate plotting grid and complex modulation sources in order to facilitate the creation of morphing sound effects and unusual instrument patches.

The plugin’s main grid section facilitates the creation of custom paths that determine the trajectory of a playhead over time. This playhead travels across a user-definable path that corresponds with the outputs of the samplers which are smoothly morphed using a bilinear interpolation algorithm. Palindrome also features 8 user-definable multi-breakpoint modulation envelopes to facilitate the creation of intricate modulation shapes.

With its 4 granular samplers, morph-plotting system, 8 multi-breakpoint modulation envelopes, dual effects processors per sampler, shape presets, 4-note polyphony, deep randomization system, global reverb, 1.4GB sample library and numerous factory presets, Palindrome brings sound designers a powerful new sound sculpting tool.

Test of Mutable Instruments Marbles with Noise Engineering Basimilus Iteritas Alter and Mutant Drums

Published on Jun 10, 2018 Retro Synth Ads / Mini Music Labs

http://retrosynthads.blogspot.com

"Mutable Instruments Marbles module controlling Noise Engineering Basimilus Iteritas Alter (BIA), and Hexinverter Mutant Bassdrum and Mutant Hihats modules.

Marbles sending random triggers and voltages. Trigger one (T1 - coin toss side 1) triggering Mutant Bassdrum. Trigger two (T2 - constant pulse) triggering Mutant Hihats. Trigger 3 (T3 - coin toss side 2) triggering BIA.

Three random voltages (X1, X2 and X3) and Y generator all controlling different CV controls on the BIA.

Using a Doepfer A-155 sequencer to send voltage changes to the "rate" input on the Marbles to speed it up and slow it down based on the sequence step. Also sending clock to Marbles."

NuEVI playing MicroBrute - Mark Steiner

Published on Jun 10, 2018 Mark Steiner

"NuEVI from Berglund Instruments playing Arturia's MicroBrute directly via midi. I'm also working on fully patched modular sounds, MatrixBrute and Roland SE-02 demo videos with the NuEVI (coming soon).

With the latest update for the MicroBrute, the pitch bend and mod wheel midi no longer interfere (caused bad zippering sounds). Before this, midi control from a wind synth didn't sound very good (CV was GREAT though).

Now is sounds very smooth and great for a wind synth. You must drive the filter using the mod wheel, as the MicroBrute has very limited midi in. Sadly, exposing analog tones like this on Youtube does tend to add a little distortion at times, but you still get a good idea of the amazing tone this synth can get...in a fully clean way.

But it's a very inexpensive true VCO Analog Synth and has a Nyle Steiner filter. It sounds great.

For updates and wait list for the incredible NuEVI, email: TheNuEVI (at) gmail.com.

"Just pure sound recorded directly from the board

This analog synthesizer was made in USSR in the year 1983 and spent many years in conservation, so it seems to be in a good state"
