Soma Lyra-8 Synthé Rose
Configurer
Lyra-8 Pink is a powerful and unconventional analog synthesizer designed for creating rich, evolving soundscapes and experimental textures. With 8 independent voices, flexible FM synthesis, a dual-delay engine, integrated distortion, and nonlinear modulation, the Lyra-8 encourages exploration and sonic unpredictability. Its pink edition offers the same remarkable capabilities with a distinctive aesthetic flair.
Each of the 8 voices can be tuned separately and paired, allowing for intricate harmonies, drones, and dissonant layers. The synthesizer operates in two primary modes: organ-like tones and FM synthesis, offering an expansive palette from smooth, melodic sounds to noisy, abrasive timbres. This voice design—intentionally nonlinear—ensures no two performances are the same, pushing you into uncharted sonic territory every time.
The Hyper LFO combines two oscillators to modulate voices and delay times, adding rhythmic movement and evolving textures. Complementing this is a dual-channel delay section, each with its own modulation options and feedback paths. Placed at the end of the chain, the integrated distortion provides everything from subtle warmth to raw saturation, interacting dynamically with delay and feedback for intense, living soundscapes.
