How I tune the Lyra-8

[@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.

@@Christopher.white_ If you want to check out another even more beastly box like Lyria, check out the Elmyra 2!

[@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.

[@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!

[@CinematicLaboratory]

Absolutely stunning sounds and a great demo.

[@Christopher.white_]

Thank you ☺️

[@joannawhite1841]

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

[@Christopher.white_]

Thanks Joanna. My pleasure! thank you for watching.

[@eyesintheskies]

Nice choice of pedals 👍

[@scott_glasgow]

Thanks fro sharing! Tuning is the biggest issue with the Lyria-8. All before getting to fun stuff. I am still learning how to work my microcosm (do you have a favorite preset start you prefer?). The looper seems handy but I haven't really found the sweet spot. Very small subtle moves on your knobs in your videos. I saw one YT Lyria-8 guys videos where he starts all videos with a yellow sticky showing the tuning which I find helpful. Or even some sort of starting knob pic over-view so us Lyra user can set our units up the same way to start then find our own rabbit hole from your starting point.

[@Christopher.white_]

Thanks. Yes good idea about the tuning. When I’m making the vids I think it’s always in the back of my mind that if someone wanted to work out the tuning it’s totally possible. But, yes I should make it clear at the start. Will do! Re the microcosm - I do have favourites! You could probably work it out from my vids ;)

Love the apocalyptic vibes

[@pirate259]

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!

[@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!

[@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.

[@TheNimasan]

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.

[@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...

[@Tim.Traveler]

Do you think it would be possible to tune the Lyra 8 with the Mordax Data module?

[@Christopher.white_]

Thanks. Not sure about the mordax. I’ve not heard of them.

[@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.
