Soma Labs Lyra-8 with Strymon Night Sky

Here's a short drone jam with the Lyra-8 and Strymon Night Sky. Pretty much an ambient dream combination.

i could listen to this all day long... In fact i did all morning... Wonderful!

[@music4screens]

Lyra 8 is a great source synth for complex reverbs like night sky! Great idea, great combination!

[@johnnymorgansynthdreams]

Agreed!

[@GIPNOZER_SOUND]

It sounds incredible and incomparable! Powerful atmosphere!

[@harrietHHH]

Just beautiful!

[@johnnymorgansynthdreams]

Thank you!

[@desertsol44]

Excellent demo. They sound so good together. I like the simple filter manipulation you did that adds even more reason for me to get that Night Sky

[@johnnymorgansynthdreams]

Glad you liked it!

[@Wuldecar]

This was the video that finally tipped me over the line into buying a Nightsky. Thanks so much for posting it!

[@benasaro1043]

VERY nice piece using the Lyra-8! I particularly liked how you use the modulation amounts to add some motion to the pitch of the voices.

[@hyponovalive]

Incredible combo!!🔥🔥🔥

[@mattpearsonaudio]

That was great, excellent atmosphere!

[@IvanovSergeyMusic]

Beautiful. I love the lyre 8 !

[@johnnymorgansynthdreams]

Thank you! Cheers!

[@FatSynthDude]

Bought a Lyra-8 this month and couldn't get anything I liked out of it. I bought a Starlab hoping that would help, and boy did it! Ended up selling the Lyra because it turns out that anything going through the Strymon sounds good.

[@johnnymorgansynthdreams]

True that. I still like Lyra-8 though for certain soundscapes I make for games though,

[@jonathanarseneau]

wonderful!

[@desreb740]

Nice ..

[@joeyalgorithm5082]

Excellent!

[@ReeltoRealDemoTapes]

Amazing!

[@callakracker]

Sorry to be off topic, but are you by chance the same Johnny Morgan that did the music for the SSX series? Because that guy is one of, if not my favorite video game composer of all time.

[@johnnymorgansynthdreams]

Yeah its me - thank you for the kind words!

[@callakracker]

@@johnnymorgansynthdreams Woah you freakin legend!!! You have no idea how much you inspired me throughout my childhood and are one of the main reasons I got into and started making electronic music. This is a very unlikely shot in the dark, but do you ever do fan Q & A's? Like regarding your career, favorite setups, how you got gigs with EA, your methods of recording back then, etc. Subscribed instantly. Much love my man!

[@johnnymorgansynthdreams]

@@callakracker Sure I'd do a fan Q&A - contact me at my email address in the about section. Talk soon!

[@wilfig]

I read this thread, and it made me happy. It's not every day you meet the artist who inspires you the most. And for Johnny Morgan, excellent work. Subscribed.

[@johnnymorgansynthdreams]

@@wilfig Thanks!

[@nickademuss42]

I have the night sky as well, great fun, its a perfect match for a lyra...

[@johnnymorgansynthdreams]

It really is!

[@uhoh3258]

Even on my shitty iphone speaker this sounds super transcendental and alive love yo shit homi keep it up!

[@kaitlyn__L]

My my, that Night Sky might just be the perfect accompaniment to my Super 6… I’ve been looking at various reverb pedals for a while and I’ve seen this one a lot. There’s a couple other ones up there but… this is pretty special. (Plus the case matches! Not that that’s of high importance.)

[@johnnymorgansynthdreams]

The Night Sky makes any synth sound great, and it's a bit more 'hands on' than the Big Sky. And yes the cosmetic match with the Super 6 would be almost perfect!

[@nickademuss42]

I had the Big sky and the night sky, the night sky is the best for synths with way more flexibility and randomness. I kept the night sky, its amazing.

[@tendingtropic7778]

Beautiful. Question: isnt the lyra 8 mono ? I see a stereo signal going in to the nightsky... how did you manage that?

[@johnnymorgansynthdreams]

Thanks Trending - I ran the Lyra-8 into my mixer and then I sent an aux signal via an FX send (dual mono). I have the Night Sky patched that way so I can just pull it down from my shelf as needed with out pluging in any new cords.

[@tendingtropic7778]

@@johnnymorgansynthdreams nice one!

[@otisobl]

A Lyra-8 owner myself I wonder (as I do so often): is it more the synth itself or more the effect making this so spectacular. Years ago I have seen a video of a Korg Volca going through a Blackhole and ... the answer was pretty obvious.

[@johnnymorgansynthdreams]

I think it's sort of both really - the effect is definitely important to get the mood, but the Lyra-8 just does things you wouldn't on a standard synth. But good point for sure.

[@EmilianoCisneros-ct7vq]

Hey bro I have the Lyra and the night sky but I can make the night sky sound with it, where are you plugging in ??

[@user-fi4yd2kf6g]

How did you do that? I own a Lyra-8 and a Big Sky but I am nowhere near to what you have achieved here. This is phenomenal. Top sound.

[@johnnymorgansynthdreams]

To be honest not sure at all - I pretty much just mess around with things.

[@stujay]

Stunning
