Soma Lyra-8 as Effects Unit

- The Lyra-8 can take mono inputs and process them through it’s delay and distortion circuits. In fact, and awesome and unique as an effects unit. In this video I show and discuss the possibilities.
BTW, there’s a Lyra-8 eurorack module that does exactly this. It is just the effects line of the Lyra-8. I have one of those as well, and will try to get a video up about that at some point. It’s tone is a bit different than using the desktop unit, brighter in general. I think I prefer the tone of the desktop FX.

Had just ordered my Lyra8 before I saw this. This is going to be such a wild ride, I can’t wait
Its like tuning an old radio in!
Brilliant for FX!!!!
I need one right now!
I love how the lyra makes music out of a monotonous kick drum sound. The 'crazy insane' stuff is the best, it's in new territory.
Damn the FX section on lyra is so powerful. Really impressive
Agreed, so good
I got mine yesterday, a green one. I freakin love this thing..
Just one drawback.
I fear that it will come to life and kill me while I sleep.
i so wanted green but ended up with black as no green when i was buying....eh oh, maybe one day i dare get another, if it hasn't killed me in my sleep ahahaahaaa
:)
As a Lyra owner that’s been feeling it out without having read the manual yet, this video taught me so much! This is the only piece of kit I have that your videos cover, but I’m sure I’ll learn from watching more of your content. 🙏🏾
I just returned a Erica Synth Synthx because I just couldn't get into it, especially for the huge outlay. My Lyra 8 on the other hand continues to inspire me.
Hi ! Vlad Kreimer did a nice demo of the FX section capabilities of the Lyra 8 too. You did a "simple sequence" on the Keys as you said. Simple, but my god... this is a short but very emotional melody that goes so well with the romantic, dreamy, tortured sound of the lyra FX. You made me fly man. Thank you, this is very inspirational.
Really appreciate it! ps. Vlad is incredible. I’m saving for a pulsar
@@BlankFor_ms Nice ! make sure you save quick cause I can't wait to hear and see how you will make it sing ;)
9:10 !!! YES 🙌🏽 this is what I wanted to hear. Thank you.
indeed Lyra-8 is both an awesome synth and effects unit!
Great video thanks. Such a great machine. Will be picking one up in a couple of months. Thanks for exploring the fx section !
#lyra8 shines with small movements and a bit of patience sometimes to hear the outcome, love mine - great vid
Not sure how I missed this one. Love it and great to see you do a non tape video (but of course love your tape loops).
Great vid! Love my Lyra 8fx.
Much appreciated 🙏🏻
What a great video : ) I've had Lyra for a few years now but had my focus mostly on eurorack lately and packed min away. When playing I was mostly experimenting with different tunings etc, but sort of ignored the effects side mostly as I could not wrap my head around it. Now that you made this comprehensible demo I'm going to pull it out again and explore it with my rack.
I was thinking though, at the beginning there, that it would probably sound even better with a bit of reverb to, but that would probably defy the point of this video as a demo of the effects section of this instrument.
Another thing I thought about is that it would probably be great to hear cello through it, and must try some basic sine two operator FM through it, so I'm going to search for samples with this in mind. Thanks man, your awesome.
How’d the cello sound?
Hey man, love the Lyra vids, and definitely going to check out your backlogue!
Been thinking about passing my Pulsar through the Lyra like this, will try today!
That’s a dream combo
That’s my default. It’s definitely a third instrument. This has me thinking to run them in a loop since the pulsar can also work off of input audio.
@@philip7505 do you mean you’ll have the LYRA8 as external input in PULSAR23 while simultaneously having the PULSAR23 feeding the LYRA8? Very interested in what that does
That's awesome! 😍
Great video, I will be waiting for the module vid !
good stuff!! The Lyra is incredible!
excellent video, helped me understand it a little better.
The lyra and the matriarch are the two synths that always stayed after with me while many other synths left me..
beautiful!
Thanks that was helpful.
Great !
I have a question. Does anyone know if the interface they now sell that lays over the touch sensors and using alligator clip connections will allow you to trigger or otherwise control each pad with the new sequencer they make will also be compatible with eurorack signals? This would be a game changer for sure!!!
Nice Boards of Canada vibes
Is bettere this or the make noise Strega?
Yes
What happens when a hot fader dj gets a soma. Hot knobs ;) - nice sounds
Hey there! What about getting my whole stereo mix (for example from digitakt) into lyra‘s mono input. This is always confusing me... can i damage my stereo output or do i just loose my „good“ stereo signal....!?
There's not much to get confused about honestly - you'll lose your stereo signal as it will be summed to mono. No damage will occur.
It won't be summed to mono, you'll get either left or right channel
Thanks guys, i‘ll try it out!
Argh I need to get my Lyra-8 fixed. Something's busted with the drive and the signal droops.
Oooooh sorry to hear. Is it a factory build?
@@BlankFor_ms yeah, got it through Thomann. Just have to mail it back to Germany but haven't had the chance

Can you use the fx section with modular
The delay time has a cv input. The audio is at line level but you could boost it to modular level via a Listen I/O or similar module
You can now make your own version of Lou Reed’s Metal Machine Music for $1300.
not really an Analog Heat, more like a Analog Volcano.
