SOMA Lyra-8 Synth Black Beast is a unique analog organismic synthesizer designed by Vlad Kreimer. The term "organismic" refers to the use of principles inspired by the functioning of living organisms. The instrument’s modules interact with each other in a way that resembles natural interactions, creating dynamic and evolving sounds.
Equipped with eight sound generators, the SOMA Lyra-8 Synth Black Beast offers an unconventional approach to sound synthesis, drawing inspiration from vintage electric organs. Its unique capabilities include FM and organ modes, advanced modulation, delay, and distortion functions. This makes it a tool suited for both experimental creators and professional musicians.
Key Features
- Eight sound generators: Operate in FM mode or as organ tones, creating unique, non-linear soundscapes.
- HYPER LFO: A complex low-frequency generator with synchronization and modulation capabilities for voices and delay effects.
- MOD DELAY: Two-line delay with cross-feedback and self-modulation functions.
- DISTORTION: Built-in distortion at the end of the signal chain, integrated with the delay effect.
- Professional output parameters: Balanced dynamics and frequency response, ready for live performances and studio recordings.
- Durable design: Compact, lightweight construction, ideal for transport and stage use.
