Is there any chance of you reviewing the SOMA Ether V2? It's not a really synth, but it's useful for electronic music as a source of drones, sound effects, sampler fodder, etc. I have one, along with some mixed feelings about it. I'd really like to see what you could do with one! 🙂
Just like SOMA's Enner it's a drone machine. (Unfortunately) I sold my Lyra-8 after a couple of month, but I kept the Enner. If you are into experimental music SOMA is a 1st class address. I hope Vlad never stopps making these stunning devices.
The magnetic charm of the Lyra-8 is undeniable. I’ve pegged it as my secret weapon for hunting down those rare, elusive samples - the kind that elevate a track from good to unforgettable. But, without fail, I’m seduced into the spontaneous symphony of a jam session. The Lyra-8 isn’t merely a piece of gear; it’s a gateway to uncharted sonic territories, beckoning me to explore further than I ever planned.
I call my Lyra 8 the "time waster". Every time I turn it on I end up spending a couple of very enjoyable hours making weird soundscapes I'll never be able to reproduce. I couple it with a Boss DR-55 drum machine running through a spring reverb, and it's lo-fi heaven.
This is by far one of the coolest pieces of gear you have had on the channel. An absolute powerhouse for generating atmospheric sounds. Thank you for showcasing this amazing synth! :)
I have own one for years now and I love it. You truly have to be recording at all times because it can start making something you have never heard of. It is VERY hard to understand and play but it is worth it. You will be looking for a sound and then look at the clock to see 2 hours went by and you were just lost messing around with it. Im glad it has no quantize or cv, midi etc. EVERYTHING has those. This doesn't and it never pretended to be. Its also built like a tank quite literally.
One of my cats was staring at the TV for at least half a minute in a WTF state of mind. They usually ignore most of the audio that I force upon them. 😂 Happy weekend!
As someone who uses this synth as the centerpiece for nearly every one of my tracks, "letting go" is possibly the best advice you can give to tackle this beast. Crazy amounts of long-decay modulated reverb and delay help too ;)
Reminds me of how Mark Twain described listening to Wagner’s Ring cycle. “I think Wagner’s music is great…..it’s much better than it sounds”. (Paraphrased)
I got a soma ether and I don't think you could make music with it but i like to get stoned and find things that are playing radio stations just laying around in the world.
Saw the Lyra-8 in the thumbnail and thought "how the hell is he going to reproduce the opening track on this thing?" You absolutely smashed it out of the park mate, good effort!
The Lyra-8 isn't bad gear, it's weird gear. No lie, I have used this device extensively whether it's Rhizome in DC or the High Zero festival. With Jazz musicians, or absolute weirdos doing noise music. I love the thing to death. It's super well built, and there is nothing else like it. Unless you are talking about ciat lonbarde instruments (hint hint). It was also the only synth I used alongside other more conventional instruments (Guitars, Bass, Cello) for my Under Night album. In short...it is surprisingly useful.
I know Soma's stuff isn't for everyone, but I love the Lyra and how it sounds and what people do with it. I picked up their Enner and the ability to just be expressive while playing is a joy unto itself. Yeah I can only use it in my more experimental compositions, but those are fun!!
Took one to a drone group night with a big sound system. The most important accessory was a volume pedal after the reverb pedal so I could dial it back when the floor started shaking.
@@AudioPilz what piece of gear would you recommend for a neck breaker artist? I been eying the 404 mk2 because of the work flow but I know I could always just run a daw with samples. Just like the idea of chopping on the fly as I engage with a lot of metal bands who could use a nice sample for breakdowns
I have orange, the most disturbing of colors... love this thing, but haven't touched it in a couple years, but I need to build some sounds for my space craft and hover craft I am drawing. Imagine Lost In Space meets Jonny Quest and the Jetsons, and we can't forget those amazing Star Trek computer sounds.
"You have to surrender yourself to the weird structure and philosophy" - my favorite thing about this machine. I love love love mine and it's really fun with the Cosmos. Surprised and glad you covered this machine. Loved that intro.
It's worth mentioning that the delay and distortion part of the Lyra-8 can be had as a eurorack module. I have one that I run my guitar through and it's gnarly af!
"Ritualistic Synth Channel" is probably the best description for Bad Gear. Yeah, every friday I close my work laptop at 17:59, to just open my Studio laptop at 18:00 and watch you eviscerate noise making stuff.
Florian you are an absolute legend. I left a comment suggesting this synth for your videos which may or may not have influenced this to happen! Did not disappoint!! Loved every second second of this and even showed it to my wife (who finds its lack of sonority… challenging) Thank you for making this video.
So between my phone being close to unusable, and also having just been in the hospital for 5+ days, I can't believe I missed this episode about a synth (the only one, besides a Moog-made Radio Shack MG-1 that doesn't make a sound) that I actually own! Personally, I love my Lyra-8 (white, jealous of orange), but I also don't really make songs and am basically a classically trained flute player with a love of electronic noises. I knew you'd get around to this eventually, thanks! Now talk about the deep rabbit hole I'm often in thanks to VCV Rack (or discuss the fact that I actually paid a bunch of $ to NI in the very early 2000s for a Reaktor 3? 4? dongle even though a.b.s.u. was still a thing), this channel will have become more me than me. ❤❤❤
So I know it's months later, but as not really a musician who has one of these but no reverb, could you recommend a decent reverb to put it through. Doesn't have to be insanely cheap, but not too hard to use would be helpful. Thanks, if you actually see this and answer!
This is the first episode I couldn't make it to the end of. I'm on the spectrum and this instrument is the equivalent of an infinite number of babies screaming while scratching an infinite number of chalkboards to me.
Awful isn't it. Not even Florian could squeeze anything worthy of the word "music" out of it. I'm not entirely convinced that these instruments aren't practical jokes, just to see where people will actually draw the line. Obviously still some way to go...
@@robinr22 I don't believe art must be pleasant, and I think there should be tools to create all forms of art. That said, there were moments with this instrument that I found beautiful, but for me, there is an aspect of this synth's sound that exhausts my mind. I know that I am more sensitive to these sort of things than most people, so it's hard for me to tell how everyone else would react. I can, however, tell that this synth would be a godsend to the right type of person.
Was fully confused when I heard “Welcome to Bad Gear, the show about the world’s most hated audio tools” instead of “Hi, I’m Hainbach, good to have you back.”
One day I'll have saved enough pocket money to buy one of these. This thing is unhinged and I love the wild and unpredictable sounds it produces. Much more than my humble but cheap ROAT, lol.
A truly unique and amazing instrument so much so that I own two, once you get to know this instrument it's hard to let go of it. There is literally a world beyond a world within that instrument and you need to smoke a cigarette after every time you use it. That being said it's an absolute joy to get lost with it. Thank you for sharing this amazing instrument. I am still throwing money at the screen to get my hands on your album but to no avail. When will this ever happen? I will patiently wait and keep throwing money at the screen until it will happen.
@@AudioPilz I know right, glad you picked up on the reference. Still waiting on that album which by now, to be fair, should almost be a double album though. I know I can support you on patreon, but it would be amazing if you put out an album for your fans. Maybe ask in a poll to see if people would want an album with all your songs you've made throughout the years. Could be surprising to see how many people would actually pay for a physical copy of your music. Community poll I say... Have a wonderful day my dear synth-friend on the internet.
it's got the sound of a perpetually tripped over theremin that someone left on... I'll stick to my current set up.. (arturia microfreak) suggestion: orba 2. got one... and it's a noodlers paradise 😁
They had to make the lyra in orange or pink, because if it was yellow, people would start to realize that its a synthesizer straight from 'The Back Rooms'.
It's great for making weird sound effects like sirens, telephones, and all that type of jazz. Also makes some crazy basslines that don't sound like anything else. One of the newest instruments I've found that I can use and keep.
Okay. So, that was fantastic... And, now I'm really interested in seeing you tackle any of the new Stylophone stuff (the theremin, or the drone machine). Also, the Elta Solar 42.
The Lyra 8 Is my goto live performance synth, I spend hours before the gig preparing, listening, entering a zen like state on mind meld with the thing. Then on stage the moon is in a different phase, the planet wobbled, a leaf fell somewhere and everything is so wonderfully, fantastically different. Not machine if you like to know what's coming next, but absolutely the best thing to just join the ride and discover places you hadn't even imagined.
Wow ! I just opened youtube to look for informations on this exact synth, and what do I see ? The man himself just released a video on it ! Awesome ! Superb jams as always !
this is the FORBIDDEN PLANET synth!! can I also add one of the most interesting and different (in a wildly good way) demo track.... I liked immensely how you acknowledged it took you to new places and the Final track was certainly original.... Great Job....
Great job. It is also possible to make some quite beautiful and emotional melodic sounds with it which the tendency towards chaos really enhances. It can almost feel like you're in a wrestling match with it, trying and failing to bend it to your will and then submitting and letting it take you where it always wanted to go. I love it.
Ahah, I bought a Lyra two weeks ago! (the black model). I enjoy it a lot and it's the only instrument I ever had that I like to play when I come back home drunk from the pub
The dreaded day when your gear shows up here, then he makes the most epic jams yet. You master everything you touch! It’s a weird ‘synth’ but nothing like it and it really does play you.
This has been on my wishlist for some time. I have (and use) the Reaktor emulation and the Pure Data one, but your vid has again reminded me how hardware can unlock creativity in ways not possible on a plugin. Soweit die beste Lyra-8 vorführung... Vielen Dank!
That a device I suggested made it perhaps accidentally to the show, still got me pleased. You mastered the challenge with that "Krawallkastl" extremely well. The Finale is impressive. This time's suggestion is the promising, chew gum ice colored (analogue looking but still digital) drum machine from Erica Synths, the Perkons HD-01.🌀

I love the Lyra-8. Never used it in any actual music, I just get baked, twiddle the knobs, and let it take me to a different dimension 😉
Nice approach!!!
I recently used mine after a good dose of psylocybe semileanceta. That was quite an experience.
Great 👍 video.
So just getting baked then. We used to take acid and listen to the kettle boil - lots cheaper.

Record it and play it back at half speed.
Thats what synths are about.
Yeah, that's basically how the music for the episode came together;)
doesn't seem like a waste of time then, quite the opposite in fact.
Thanks for the shoutout on my software emulation, Florian! 🤠
Thanks to this episode of Bad Gear, I downloaded your software emulation and I'm trying it out now. It's pretty cool! 😎
Always a pleasure! Thanks for that one!!!
definitely going to download that
This is by far one of the coolest pieces of gear you have had on the channel. An absolute powerhouse for generating atmospheric sounds. Thank you for showcasing this amazing synth! :)
Thank you so much!!!
You just know that when the opening tune isn't even close to the traditional tune, it's gonna be a good one.
I gave my best;)

@@AudioPilz True, but it really needs finer pitch control, with VCS 3 knobs or something. And 8 outs.
Perfect tool for creating audio for science fiction tv shows.
@@skelly790someone modded their Lyra to give finer pitch tuning
That finale was beautiful! Please notify me when the musique concrete IDM noise album drops!

A completely normal reaction;)
The studio cat knows what's up.
Meanwhile my immature wife kept saying “that sounds like fun” whenever he would say, “self modulation”.
Stalker is such a classic - great video!
Thank you!!! One of my favorites!!!
It really gets me into The Zone
I think Robert Holdstock must have watched Stalker and Solaris when he came up with the novel Mythago Wood. I'd love to see that made into a film.
I love that I live in a world where the Lyra-8 exists. It's like a totem for insane creativity.
Well put!!!
God I love the Lyra 8. I think this is the best intro tune and jam in any of the videos yet!!
Thank you so much!!!
that was the best jam ever....way ta go friend.
Thank you so much!!!

Yeah, this beast soaks up the reverb like crazy!!!
@@AudioPilz Set the reverb to 11. 😃
I love Soma's stuff.
I mean, I hate how it sounds, and don't have a desire to own any of it.
But I love that it exists. Get after it, you mad lads!
Nice angle!!!
Reminds me of how Mark Twain described listening to Wagner’s Ring cycle. “I think Wagner’s music is great…..it’s much better than it sounds”. (Paraphrased)
Exactly this. Makes the world a better place.
I got a soma ether and I don't think you could make music with it but i like to get stoned and find things that are playing radio stations just laying around in the world.
Owned one and sold it. It is cool but it seriously needs a high pass filter, I ran mine with large subwoofer and bass just gets out of control.
Saw the Lyra-8 in the thumbnail and thought "how the hell is he going to reproduce the opening track on this thing?"
You absolutely smashed it out of the park mate, good effort!

The Lyra is the ultimate Ambient machine. Taking you to places you didn't even know they exist.

Unique brand!!!
Took one to a drone group night with a big sound system. The most important accessory was a volume pedal after the reverb pedal so I could dial it back when the floor started shaking.
That's absolutely necessary (I'd put it BEFORE the reverb though;)
@@AudioPilz it was Blackhole reverb; really putting it before and after is good since once that goes past the edge it’s gonna be there a while. 😹

You can always use the Lyra as a pedal...
@@AudioPilz what piece of gear would you recommend for a neck breaker artist? I been eying the 404 mk2 because of the work flow but I know I could always just run a daw with samples.

I’ve wanted one for awhile now - as someone who enjoys making ambient industrial noise it fits my needs pretty well.

Dub is garbage, so you make garbage. No need for something like this piece of kit
Thanks for reminding me to actually try using the LIRA-8 VST instrument. I didn't find any use for it so far, but this was inspiring!

😀😀😀
I supose missed somethin'
That last jam really tempts to get the extended version. Good stuff. Way to loop back to old rhythmic-noise days.⛓️⚒️🚬🪬🔩
woah im early! hi florian! love ur show
Thank you so much!!!
It's great for making weird sound effects like sirens, telephones, and all that type of jazz. Also makes some crazy basslines that don't sound like anything else.
One of the newest instruments I've found that I can use and keep.
My boxes just got ticked son!!!!
😀😀😀
Okay. So, that was fantastic... And, now I'm really interested in seeing you tackle any of the new Stylophone stuff (the theremin, or the drone machine). Also, the Elta Solar 42.
Great work! I've never gotten the CV input to work, so I was impressed with that 2nd jam.
Thank you!!!
Florian, your show is called Bad Gear. You're really undercutting yourself by making this thing sound so freaking sweet!
Thank you!!!
this is by far the spookiest episode of Bad Gear
The Lyra 8 Is my goto live performance synth, I spend hours before the gig preparing, listening, entering a zen like state on mind meld with the thing.
Then on stage the moon is in a different phase, the planet wobbled, a leaf fell somewhere and everything is so wonderfully, fantastically different.
Not machine if you like to know what's coming next, but absolutely the best thing to just join the ride and discover places you hadn't even imagined.
Wow ! I just opened youtube to look for informations on this exact synth, and what do I see ? The man himself just released a video on it ! Awesome ! Superb jams as always !
you make it sing in that last jam ❤ beautiful work
Thank you!!!
I love my Lyra. It's probably the only instrument which you can play with milimeter adjustments of a feedback knob. And yes, ALWAYS record.
Always!!!
Have never been more ready for the tunes in the latter half
😀😀😀
that is some of the best dark minimal I have ever heard. Pure genius!
Thank you so much!!!
this thing is so cool, its got a really neat character to it
Oh shit! Just clicked play, really interested to see how this goes. Love my Lyra
this is the FORBIDDEN PLANET synth!! can I also add one of the most interesting and different (in a wildly good way) demo track.... I liked immensely how you acknowledged it took you to new places and the Final track was certainly original.... Great Job....
Thank you!!!
This is similar to one of the synths Bruce Haack built in the early 60s. I dig it.
👍👍👍
Great job. It is also possible to make some quite beautiful and emotional melodic sounds with it which the tendency towards chaos really enhances. It can almost feel like you're in a wrestling match with it, trying and failing to bend it to your will and then submitting and letting it take you where it always wanted to go. I love it.
Thank you!!!
Ahah, I bought a Lyra two weeks ago! (the black model). I enjoy it a lot and it's the only instrument I ever had that I like to play when I come back home drunk from the pub
Best piece of gear for that!!!
A review of my favorite synth in my collection filled with Stalker references; how could I not subscribe?
Thank you so much!!!
My friend made these badassz oscillators that reminded me of this but this is like an interactive bank of em, quite impressive
I love my lyra I just played it live at my local synths group open mic. It is awesome ❤❤❤
Nice!!!
The dreaded day when your gear shows up here, then he makes the most epic jams yet. You master everything you touch! It’s a weird ‘synth’ but nothing like it and it really does play you.
This has been on my wishlist for some time. I have (and use) the Reaktor emulation and the Pure Data one, but your vid has again reminded me how hardware can unlock creativity in ways not possible on a plugin. Soweit die beste Lyra-8 vorführung... Vielen Dank!
Danke!!!
thanks for the heads up on the "lira 8" vst... sessions!
I love my lyra-8 i actually got some decent use out of it while working on a Doom Metal project
Nice!!!
That a device I suggested made it perhaps accidentally to the show, still got me pleased. You mastered the challenge with that "Krawallkastl" extremely well. The Finale is impressive. This time's suggestion is the promising, chew gum ice colored (analogue looking but still digital) drum machine from Erica Synths, the Perkons HD-01.🌀
Vielen Dank!!!
thank you Professor.. I felt a little warmth in my heart everytime I see a synth on Bad Gear I did adequate research on then passed on..
🤘😁
Thanks!!! Congratulations!!!
@@AudioPilz ..I might be in serious trouble if you start doing eurorack reviews...
This was different! And I do have a feeling that you actually enjoyed using this oddball synth.
Love it!!!
