Hey Ron. So one year and a bit later...do you still have the synth? Is it getting used? Did it’s usefulness run out? I’m tempted to buy one of these while I wait for my pulsar to ship. I think I can find a good use for it in the studio but worry that it won’t stay relevant.

@@mattnickel5113 hmm go to my videos and look at the last video I posted. I love this thing it's one of my favorites. I can't tell you what to buy or not but it's staying here. Also pulsar I'm on the list but no update yet.

Ron Cavagnaro thx for the reply. Heh that waiting list is a bit ambiguous isn’t it? I tried to google what waits were at but didn’t have much luck. Looks like people receiving now waited ~18 months. Soma said they were ramping up production though. I never received a placeholder number so really have absolutely no clue what to expect!

@@mattnickel5113 what's the Pulsar?

@@malthus101 pulsar 23 by soma synths. It’s a drum synthesizer. Still haven’t got mine yet LOL but apparently it’s on the way… At least the money is out of my bank account! Can’t wait to give it a shot! lots of videos on KZfaq.

Thank you!!! I absolutely love it yes it borders from heavenly to hellish in seconds, often riding it in between, but then it seems to jump to something else. I love it so much!

Watch the modulation series I made on Lyra. That does not have effects added.

Whoops sorry about that! Next time use headphones! Lol

Soon... Mine will be running through zoia.... ;)

I need the zoia in my life like i need oxygen xD

@@SpiderofPnyx apparently tracking says I'm getting it this Monday and I plan on doing tons of videos explaining basics. Stay tuned :)

My favorite pedal of all time

I still love mine! It's great!

How are u liking it after a month? i love it but i dont play it as much as i should. When i do, its very satisfying

Finally arrived and loving it. Such a crazy brilliant instrument. It is an instrument you don't play but go on a journey with.

It's not very effective from my tests. You might be disappointed with the results, it effects only modulation I think. It works best standalone. If I figure out maybe a better way to use CV I'll do a video but haven't gotten really much with it.

Agree with Ron here. The CV inputs are not going to behave as you expect, just like much of the functionality in this synth is "unconventional". Check the reviews very carefully, especially the SonicState one with Nick Blatt. If I remember, he connects some CV to the inputs and results are unexpected. This is not really a box to "tame" in terms of working into a conventional setup. I think your best use for this is standalone soundscapes, with perhaps some other free-form/freestyle instrumentation over top of it working as a sonic canvas, if you will. But don't even expect to stay "in key". If you read creator Vlad Kreimer's philosophy, he's actually "anti-tonal", if you will, preferring instead organic interaction with the device and non-linear structure/anti-structure and corresponding outcomes.

Just get some good fx but the delay on it is nice. I use h9 max and some kaoss pads.

Yes I didn't really get any good results though

@@RonCavagnaro Oops! Tried anything? Eurorack sequencer / ableton CV?

@@t3l3phasicworksh0p all else I have is my 0coast and didn't really get great results that way either..

It's awesome, but if you seek melodic content, lyra can and does well but it is a bit slippery, but that's the nature of the instrument

1. To explore analog soundscapes 2. People who don't understand #1

Just my video is, it's a great gear! Timeless sounds and will keep it as long as possible
