Lyra-8 Black Beast : Beast from the East

5 years ago

A true Beast from the East & the most interesting Synth I've seen in Years!!

Ignore any concept of standard synthesis, this is in a league of it's own. Everything effects everything.

Some say lack of midi is a shame but I have to disagree. It's an instrument that you play & deep dive into the sound so hit record, best yourself w some basic CV & get back to wav editing if needs be. Covers eveything from wisp like gentle ambient to full on facemelting end of the world drone. No menus just great tactile control.

Really nothing here ot to like, SoMa seem to have developed a cult like following since their inception a few years back & it's easy to see why. A refreshing pproach to making music. If you want to bang out standard tunes then maybe not for you but if you are interested in sound design & sound scapes that get away from generica then you won't look back:

Beautiful rich sound.

Cannot recommend more!
