Me too. I love just picking it up & playing it, much the same as I would with my acoustic guitar. Can get lost in it for hours. It is so tactile; every knob, switch & sensor are playable.

Yes! I think thats why I like it so much. Dont get me wrong, I dig my other synths, but when you teak the filter knob, thats what you get- a filter Tweak. With Lyra, when you tweak one thing, that thing changes- but so does something else
Since I began playing Lyra in a band, and including it in my Techno stuff, I have lost interest in my other projects stored on my computer, they all seem so ā¦ Linearā¦
Happy Demon Hunting!

Actually having just said that, I think thats why I like octatrack, I use it in a non linear way, master sequencer is always set to INF, I never use song mode, and i use a few other methods of always keeping my options open. Ignore the grid! ha!

IMO to accept and appreciate this, is the only way to be happy with the Lyra. I had hours of fun exploring many different sounds by flipping the FM-linking switches, modify the MOD knobs, adjust the OSC-frequencies, using the Delay, and all those feedbacks. Even the flipping itself seems to be part of it. Do it sometimes or do it in small time intervals can make quite a difference. The Lyra can sound very different compared to many drone-like videos on YT - it can be very harsh an even very melodic.
Since I never get back to where I was, I made it a habit to have a recorder stand-by ā¦

Did a little something with my Lyra-8 and an erebus on an octatrack. I edited it a little bit in my daw as well. Kind of a cool concept.

Sounds great! Every now and then I have an obsession with this kind of minimalist/atmospheric/autonomic dnb; I really should actually write some more tracks like that 
btw I caved and ordered a Lyra-8 lastnight 
I couldnāt handle it anymore. It suddenly was in stock at an Australian supplier so I just had to do it. Gonna set it up next to my piano, I think.

Just curious ā¦ for the DAW-less, what kind of setups are you using to record your LYRA-8?
Nice work - keep 'em coming!
Octatrack works fine for me.
I use the Octatrack for āshort quotesā (<5 min). But most of the time I record whole sessions of 15-30 minutes either into Audacity on my HTPC or into a Zoom recorder (I donāt care to fire up Ableton Live just for recording).

Made another little rough draft using the lyra-8. Also some Erebus V3 in there as well.

Cool track. Has some good Scorn vibes.
Mine arrived today. Itās amazing. I have some ideas to ātameā it in my eurorack setup but itās so good even on its own.

Yeah, loving it so far. I was looking for a good distortion for my Volca Drum, and here it isā¦ maybe I went a bit too overboard on the distortion, but I kinda like it

thanks!
Oooh, Photek vibes. Love it.
This is awesome.
We canāt see the Lyra 8 as my little tripod is actually resting on it, but hereās some Lyra 8 used in context; itās the noisy line entering at the 7min mark. Even if I used only two voices here and proceeded to put it through a high pass and phaser in the modular, I feel like the Lyra lends itself very well to such applications. A bit underused but still unique.
