What I really like about your vids is that even in the midst of crazy freakouts, there’s still always some sense of musicality behind it. It’s more “art” than most straight up demo type videos. But what I don’t like is how much your videos always end up costing me! 😜

Great video mate! Its nice to see how they evolve. Love the time lapse and amazing demo obviously! =)

oh yeah love these wild tones

I know this is an old comment, but if you're looking for a new module to do an episode of weird gear on, this is probably it. Either that or the new Pulsar 23 drum machine

Great demo! What a superb module

this may be one of my favourite modular videos so far. this fuckin kills.

Excellent delay & demo! Thanks!

ooooft you lovely beast.

I was already thinking about adding one of these to my rack, youve kind of pushed me over the edge.

Beautiful. I love the lyre 8 fx !

Awesome - Looking forward to watching this - Lyra 8 is my favorite instrument!

Having watched this, it is a great video. There are three delay modes on the Lyra 8 - "straight" (no modulation), hyper LFO modulation and self modulation - I spend 95% of my time experimenting with the first two, but you make the self modulation sound really cool here!

some great noises in this video... the LYRA8-FX made some great ones too

Great video! Bought the lyra.fx 8 some time ago and sold it again, because it sounded to dirty to m ears. Like you said while shapeshifting "sounds like sampled".. But now I kinda miss it because of that. Thanks for your lovely videos!

"arse tonnes" the new unit of measurement we'll have to adhere to and stop messing with imperial and metric.

Thank you so much for this. I like how the Iteritas is out there hiding next to the Heat, trembling in fear no doubt.

That distortion sounds really good

Wow, great demo thank you.

That is wild. Something you might like is the Red Panda Tensor. I waited a long time for it to be in stock and it was well worth the wait. Kind of takes me back to the time when everything was new and novel to me - like the day many years ago when I got my first delay. The tensor is kind of similar to some of the sampling devices in eurorack - but also sort of delightfully simple/constrained. Best effect I've purchased in ages.

I've just gotten into Modular and NEED THIS SOMA MODULE ! Also will have to get the Planar Module so I can use it like a stick-shift Race Car driver and make it sound TwISTed-EEvIL ! You made this sound system perrrrfect . Great drones + Exciting Soundscapes,love this ~🔥🔥🔥🎹🐾💡👀🌟

Hey man, loving the videos! It'd be cool to see you doing more building bits, in fact a video I'd enjoy is you going through all your modules and choosing 3-4 for a minimal but versatile rig (or whatever you'd use a 3 or 4 modules for given you have so many options) and then a larger more focused one like this video (But it is your channel so do as you please!). Keep up the good shit

Nice rif from close encounters of the third kind on the pressure points! Lol. Great vid mate

Good demo! 👍👍

Haha the sounds of joy at min 12!! :D Cool demo

You Sir are going to cost me a lot of money hahaha. Awesome Video!! You already inspired me to get the Moog trifecta (DFAM, M32, and Harmonicon), I have a Lyra. But now I feel I am about to fall into the Modular Abyss. This was an awesome video, Thank you \m/

Nice one ! This is like the bigger, badass-er cousin to the humble WMD/SSF DPLR which also sounds awesome on drums. I gotta run more stuff through my Lyra 8 ! Having it in Euro is tempting though, just for the flexibility and immediacy (and CV!)

00:05:53 => "Et voilà !" Good French ;) Thanks for this demo of the Lyra8-FX, this is an excellent product like all the products of this company, with those very particular unstructured/disorganized/distorted/deep sounds

No matter what I'm jamming I always seem to end up having something patched through the Soma and then just having that signal gloriously devoured for like 10 minutes....so much fun.

I like the set up by the windows, it's much more open vibe.

Ace is the place!

What's happened to our favourite eurorack influencer! Come back mylarmelodoes we miss you....

3 years later : the lyra8-fx has fused into my rack, impossible to get it out

This video is everything I love about you. Why did you have to mix it with the Shapeshifter, I already bought that because of you?! Now my wallet is calling me again... naughty.

It is becoming increasingly difficult to sus wheather it's you making a noise or a module. Lovely demo as per fella, nowt better than a Mylar vid in my subscription box

Oh how the following comment sounds weird 😀 but it’s so nice to see your hands. Why we bleep is great don’t get me wrong but videos like these really sparked the interest into eurorack when looking into the early videos of yours.

THX for the Video, its very interesting 👌

It's so rad, it blew all the color out of the first 2 and a half minutes of your vid. damn son, sounds like cosmic construction crew digging up the road at 4am. XD

Music Easel + Gerald Donald, damn mate I love you

Check out Tr-909+monotron delay elbows out. That video needs more love.

Some nice Karplus-Strong Synthesis Goin on over here!

Love mine Lyra FX in Black 😀

so good!

OOH.. I'm so gonna eat pasta and ketchup for the rest of yet another month - because of you sir. GREAT review!

This is absolutely crazy this Lyra 8 FX! Your demo is so cool and I love when you say oh ooh ouh! it's communicative! Thanks!!! :)

are you going to do a video on the system 880?

Thanks for great video! Could you please let me know which drummachine are you using in your eurorack?

System 80 880!

This is my second video looking into eurorack systems and man, I think I’m making the transition to modular. Sounds are awesome! I was wondering if I can use the lyra8 fx module like a guitar pedal and use any external sound source like synth/ drum machine into it? Or do modules only work in a eurorack ? New to the modular world!

yeah its possible. Score a input module and route anything into your modular

Heavens, that's some roaring twisted wierdness. Reminded me of : Below the thunders of the upper deep; Far far beneath in the abysmal sea, His ancient, dreamless, uninvaded sleep, The Kraken sleepeth: faintest sunlights flee. In roaring he shall rise and on the surface die. While making sounds rather like you did here. Cheers Alex, awesome. :)

Hi mate! huuuhhh LoL Love this video! Totally vibin.

Just watched this after getting a Lyra 8FX, some great creative uses for me to follow, im puzzled as to what the LED jack plug is that appears in the delay output at 24:30, does it serve a purpose or is it just a visual thing?

Dooooooooooooooooooof. Sounds banging that.

omg why does this sound so awesome? i have already enough delays ;)

It is probably more about what you did with the LYRA and that I like.

This is - wait for it - ace! Just wondering if do something wrong? But this seams to be the first module which can't find on modulargrid.

10:35 is just sick sound .. would absolutely destroy the crowd if played live!

Great video of what seems like a brilliant module! One question though: what VCAs the shapeshifter? Is it the filter or the shapeshifter is always in percussion mode?

@mylarmelodies

It’s in percussion mode, except at the end, if I recall (filter to close the sound down)

Fambient, haha, Ace! :D

I'm having a really hard time choosing between this and a 4ms dual delay (+ an Optodist at some point)... Lyra8 is pretty wild but the lack of clock sync feels like it would be less tweakable in a live drum fest situation? HELP! 🙏

Cool didnt know it came in eurorack

Meant to ask this on one of your earlier videos, but are you running everything through the AH and RNLA as a matter of course? Is that for flavour or just to keep a handle on the levels? Or both? I do basically the same thing (Heat on the master and into an RNC) and it's pretty sweet, just wondering if that's a thing you do on all your videos now.

Not as a rule at all, but I wanted to try it on the live rig (see next upcoming vid especially) - it’s ideal to take as little as possible to gigs as you’ll know but then it’s also really nice to have a bit of a ‘mastering’ polish - Noticing that on the Digitakt, when you make your pattern it sounds great, but when you add the built in compressor, it’s like, oh, yes that definitely is better.

mylarmelodies the Machinedrum is like that as well. Sounds really different & much more finished when you add the internal compressor

Wait that setting at 12:59 was perfect! 😢

Not sure Im dying for one myself, but a its another great video and demonstration as to be expected from you.

Super nice... sonic youth goes modular at some points.

(As a modular noob) I am a little surprised at the lack of CV control on so many of the Lyra-FX controls.

Oh dear watch out bank account. Crazy monster synth express train from hell at 26:40 I love it.!!!!

11 month and a rising credit debt later, as I was looking for a disto/delay module to complement my DFAM, I rewatched this. You should not be allowed to have so much fun on camera (with your clothes on). Brilliant

Not sure what's more impressive... the module, or the iPhone camera monitoring.

Sold.
