Neutral Labs Elmyra 2 - Study 1 (My Little Doom Machine)
Вставка
- Опубліковано 23 сер 2023
- The Elmyra2 is an experimental (and maybe I would go as far to use the word: "esoteric") semi modular synthesizer, based around 4 digital wave-table voices (each with assignable digital sound modifiers), paired with a dirty master delay, filter and a distortion circuit named "ouch" (for good reason!). It also has a sequencer per voice (which can each have different lengths) and two LFOs (one simple, one complex) each with modulatable speeds.
It is, I think, safe to say that this is an instrument which is very much aesthetically and sonically up my street. Here is the first a few small musical studies I'll be posting with this intriguing instrument. You're hearing the Elmyra2 running into a Digitech Polara reverb pedal in Halo mode which is adding a little stereo width and a little shimmer.
And yes - I will be pairing it with my Lyra-8 in later videos - of course.

Transparency notice: the Elmyra2 was kindly provided to me by Neutral Labs for free for the purposes of making videos on it. No editorial oversight has been provided to Neutral Labs and no other payment has been received. As always I'm only interested in featuring instruments that I'm genuinely excited about on the channel.

Oh, super tasty drones are my bag. Interesting little box of goodness there.
we are so back
Or some version of back at least.
Amazing presentation. I received mine today, can't believe I missed this channel over the last 3 years. Looking forward catching up on your work!
Hey, thanks! Welcome to the channel!
Drone-tastic!
Beautiful peace. Musical as ever. So enjoyable. And obviously : what a reverb ! The suttle shimmer complementing the piece, taking it to another level
Thank you you're very kind. And yes, a little shimmer is a lovely flavour enhancer here.
God I need this thing.
Doom machine....time travelling machine......Space folding machine.........Love those.
Nice first study !
Oh yeah, consider space well and truly folded! Thank you!
Your Elmyra 2 vids sold me on it. Neutral labs owe you a six pack.
…also, subbed. Great stuff.
Cheers, I hope you enjoy it - let them know I sent you!
Loving your droning studies
You make such beautiful sounds
Thank you!
Great sounds! I just built my own ELMYRA2.
Sounds Amazing. Mystique and dark
It sounds so good sir!!! I was just rewatching your Lyra-8 videos and drooling over that synth and then you post this, lol! I am in the fence with buying this one, but it sounds so good!
Cheers! They live in a similar world but they have some key differences for sure. I can't wait to pair them up though.
I deff want a Lyra 8 but this thing is on a whole new level.
Will be great to see the 2 partnered.
Oh, you better believe those two are going to team up.
@@OscillatorSink oh stop teasing.
😆
I love the sound and also the minimal blade runner visual appearance.
Thank you. It's a very cool little box.
Just in time for Halloween. This is a great bit of minimalism.
Thank you!
Wow, excellent work !!!!
Thank you!
Hmm crunchy ❤
You know it's there. Not menacing as such, just ... strange ... beyond ... above human concerns - investigating your thoughts like a scientist might assess an insect. Watching. Waiting.
An unknowable morality at play? Perhaps it's best if it remains unknowable?
Very cool
What a pice of gear. I badly want to have one. And I probably will in few days ! Did you try to sequence it from an external seq (like a beatstep pro for example) ? If it can be sequenced like a regular (paraphonic) synth (cv/gate), sure I'll buy one !
It has an internal pitch sequencer (per voice), which is what I'm using here. Each voice also has gate and pitch CV inputs so you can sequence externally as well (I haven't played with that too much yet though).
This is awesome!! A patch breakdown of this would be incredible!
What I can see: LFO1 modulates voice 2 and 3 wave as well as delay mix. LFO2 goes to the attenuator/mult and modulates voice 4 mod effect amount and filter cutoff. Voice 1 envelope output is attenuated by the voltage summing utility (but not summed with anything else) and modulates the BITE amount (analog destructive distortion). There's at least one sequence running, and at least one of the voices is using the waveshaper effect.
That sounds about right from my recollection - unfortunately the patch itself was unlatched not long after recording this - I always return to an initial state, patches don't hang about!
So I won't be able to do a patch breakdown of this patch, but I hope to do a video showing the process going from nothing to a finished patch at some point soon.
@@OscillatorSink That would be great!
@@nyppy Thanks, I'll have to do some experimenting when my Elmyra is built. I ordered the kit today, mostly inspired by oscillatorsink's videos.
@@nyppy Kit arrived today, took me about 2hrs to build. I've just finished testing and playing with it and it's bloody awesome! Exactly what I was looking for. I've only just scratched the surface but I'm really enjoying it so far.
Phat!
Major dune vibes
amazing! which interface audio u use for cv synths?
Thanks! I have an Arturia Audiofuse.
I want this 8 my babies funeral
I think the Texture Lab from Sonicware is similar to this advice
Better than Lyra??
Different. Actually quite quite different. Lyra is more about the interplay between the voices and a visceral, primitive sound, where as this is more about flexibility and suits being more about planning than happy accidents.
The do, however, work amazingly well together - I have a performance on the channel showing that.
@@OscillatorSink Thanks for the instant detailed reply!
