Neutral Labs Elmyra 2 x Soma Labs Lyra-8 - That Which Must Be Done

Описание: Of all the things which must be done, this is the thing that must be done the most. Of course - the Elmyra 2 had to meet the Lyra-8! (This one is best enjoyed loud.)

Here, the Elmyra is being fed into the External Audio input of the Lyra-8, so that it can benefit from the Lyra's delay and distortion circuit (which also helps blend the two new best friends together). Doing this also allows the Elmyra influence the behavior of the Lyra's delay as it is being modulated in "Self" mode.

In terms of their roles in this piece: the Lyra-8 is performing the more conventional drone underlying the piece; whereas the Elmyra (with the benefit of its internal sequencer) is providing something more melodic and, thanks to the various ways the voices can be modulated and the "ouch" distortion circuit, something which feels very expressive and almost orchestral.

It's no shock to me that the two of them work will together, but I am still more than pleasantly surprised at how their contrasting tones blend together.

Reverb is provided by the lovely GFI System Specular Reverb in its default mode.

Transparency notice: the Elmyra2 was kindly provided to me by Neutral Labs for free for the purposes of making videos on it. No editorial oversight has been provided to Neutral Labs and no other payment has been received. As always I'm only interested in featuring instruments that I'm genuinely excited about on the channel.
