Nice man! Cheers for the mention and glad you found my vid informative with the tunings. Here’s a tip, if anyone is looking for note sets for the Lyra, take a look at acoustic instruments with open tunings like the hang drum/hand pans, kalimba thumb pianos, steel pans etc. A lot of folk have spent years and years finding interesting and exotic combinations which you can borrow. I think the Lyra can really come alive as a solo and lead instrument when you define its voice with a characteristic set of notes. I really want to try some music making in just intonation next. Thanks again for the great video. :)
Karl Sadler Hey, I’m glad you enjoyed the video! And Thanks so much for the tips! I’m always looking for new ideas to use with the Lyra, hang/Kalimba tunings makes so much sense! Any particular tunings you’ve found that you would recommend?
Owen no specific ones. Another thing I find which is a really useful exercise to match and pair the human side of things with yourself is to learn what your vocal range is. I’m no singer, but when I started to find tunings and scales on instruments that matched what my body could produce, everything seemed to resonate better with me. Depending on how high or low your voice is, you may find certain scales resonate more personally with you. :0)
Hey Owen, thanks for the good tips. Got me a Lyra yesterday, was a bit overwhelmed at first, but after several hours of just playing my mind away, I'm blown by this thing, what an instrument! Your videos were very helpful for me, thanks!
Oh man, It's literally only been 3 days since I requested a video on this topic. Thank you Owen, I appreciate your tutorials, and your teaching style is clear and comprehensive.
I couldn't agree more with other guys. Videos are helpfull and informative. Many thanks for sharing your knowledge with us! not many people are able to explain it all in an easy way. You really know your stuff! I think that at the beginning, the LYRA may seem a bit unpredictible but definitely, it's worth digging deeper. After a while you begin to really discover the real beauty. The machine is incredible!
Thanks! I’m glad you’re enjoying my videos. Yes, the Lyra-8 is very deep and beautiful, like an acoustic instrument it will take generations to find everything it is capable of!
This is great thanks, you’ve a real talent for explaining things. Regarding the wobbly notes I’ve found these change depending on where the pitch knob is set, similar to calibrating tracking of an analog oscillator.
Owen Ill have to test this idea, and you might have to interpret how I explain it for want of better terminology. I see it as a bracketed range moved around by the pitch knob where oscillators are more stable. I’ll often use reapers tuner which is super sensitive to tune the pitch knob so that it is stable before tuning individual notes
Hey man, awesome videos u got. I got my lyra 8 in the mail yesterday. I was wondering if you could point me in the right direction. I hear you're speaking of dorian scales, maxolydian and all that stuff. I was wondering what these are, where i can find the right searching terms and how i could maybe learn about these kinds of things. It all sounds very interesting and i think it will help my music career a lot too. Plus then i could pick a nice scale for my lyra 8 and be able to tune it :) Another question, yesterday i tried tuning the bass on the lyra. In another video i saw they first picked a note, then tried to match it with te other one right next to it. It created a nice double note(no clue if that term is correct ) and was very harmonious, they blended well together. When i try it on my lyra 8 i can get very close to them being in sync. They wobble, and if i put it in sync perfectly ( 2 exactly the same notes if played seperately) it cancels itsself out. There's an not so nice overtone and the bass falls away , it's like they phase in and out of each other and when they re align they start to cancel each other. is this usual for the lyra? It almost seems like the circuit is being overloaded then and there's a huge distortion coming in. Thanks for the awesome videos :)
Don’t have a Lyra yet but your videos are swaying me. Super helpful. Simple question, will it hold a tuning when it’s turned off or is this process done every time it’s turned on?

The_Waxen_Pith hey, thanks for the info! do you find the notes are more or less wobbly in the high or low range of the pitch knob? Or does it vary?

All tuner pedals are Ok to use with Lyra?
Hi there. I've noticed your hyper lfo light seems to be always off. Is it normal?
xheindrichs You can lock the lfo. check out part 4!
@@owenface1 Oh great. I didn't know this trick. I'll try it.
It doesn't work on mine.
