How I tune the Lyra-8

I've been asked a few times to show how I tune the Soma Labs Lyra-8, so here you go! This is basically what i do (go through!) every time I use the Lyra. There's also an improvisation on the Lyra8 going through the Mooger Fooger LP1, the Hologram Electronics Microcosm and the Shallow Water, showing what this particular tuning sounds like.

imo the greatest synth in the universe. absolutely on nmy #1 top synths list. i can describe how much i love everything on this synth.also mx lonly island synth.

[@brettwartchow]

Truly lovely work. The sounds are so deceptively fragile, almost vulnerable… thanks for taking us there

[@Christopher.white_]

Thanks Brett. The Lyra is a beast but can be so fragile and subtle at moments.

[@eyesintheskies]

Nice choice of pedals 👍

[@joannawhite1841]

Thank You, Christopher. I appreciate your work and help.

[@Christopher.white_]

Thanks Joanna. My pleasure! thank you for watching.

[@CinematicLaboratory]

Absolutely stunning sounds and a great demo.

[@Christopher.white_]

Thank you ☺️

[@music4screens]

This is why I should keep my Lyra with me :) Thanks about that :D Great video and performance! super cinematic!

[@Christopher.white_]

ha yes! travelling with the lyra and various pedals isnt ideal! thanks for watching.

[@MrJalfrezi]

Love the apocalyptic vibes

[@erniecf]

Nice :) would love to see a tour of your studio

[@Christopher.white_]

thanks Ernie. There's not a huge amount to see. I've been steadily downsizing over the last couple of years. But maybe I could get into the details of what i do use. thanks for the idea!

[@orchidsvoid]

Thank you for sharing that! Lyra in my wishlist for so long already... But can't buy it rn because of many reasons 😢

[@Christopher.white_]

Thank you for watching. I hope you can get one soon.

This is yet another very informative video, Thank you. Always find your work fascinating....You in Belfast next month?

[@Christopher.white_]

Thank you, and not sure about Belfast just yet!

[@winstonelectric]

this is also a great demo of how frustrating the lyra is to tune 😆 so worth it though

[@Christopher.white_]

totally, i was really tempted to but the unedited 9 min cut of me tuning it...

[@brilliantgrass878]

Beautiful! I always have trouble getting the highest 2 voices to sound useable, they are so harsh in upper register and hard to tune lower.

[@Christopher.white_]

Thank you. the filter really helps!

[@synthebo]

❤❤❤❤👏👏👏👏👏😁

[@jordanecoquart1658]

Great video, thanks ! can you tell exaclty the notes you use on each voice ? thanks !

[@Christopher.white_]

thank you. I think it was C. G. Eb. C. D. F. Ab. C.

[@GATOVERTICAL]

@@Christopher.white_I'm a music theory noob. Which is the logis of this selection of notes? Taste? some intervals? Can a rule be applied so one can make variations? Thanks!

[@Christopher.white_]

It’s basically C harmonic minor without the 7th. Spaced over the 8 voices for taste.
