This synth gets intense: Neutral Labs Elmyra 2 Demo

Elmyra 2 is a hybrid digital/analogue desktop synth/eurorack module suited to making dusty and brutal ambient strings, drones, pads and chords, and in this demo I'm using it to accompany three Moog DFAMs, Mother-32 & Subharmonicon. 90's warp music fell out of this setup. Vibes were had. I had a good time.
Extra stereo reverb was provided by the Universal Audio Golden Reverberator set to Lexicon 224 Hall. The dusty delay is built-in!

I have a lot of old gear though, all bought cheap back in the day and the room is an attic so that makes things kind of awkward due to the angled ceiling and low walls. I sold some stuff and later regretted most of it so now I am keeping what I still have but having a hard time organizing it.

    I'm just here for the comments. Loving how people with none of their own content weigh in telling one of the best modular channels how to make tutorials! 😂 I had no problems understanding the dialogue, and I'm listening on cheap earbuds whilst indoor training on a bike! I enjoyed the demo and this seems a handy bit of kit for techno or dark ambient/drone. However, I didn't think it was either particularly brutal or particularly ambient. Sorry! Maybe my ears are jaded from watching too many synth KZreads but it just sounds like any other analogue synth to me, with a bit of drive/wavefolding. Probably needs a shitload of Supermassive in post, that would fix it 😉

    Ha thanks and good to be assured it is audible (I made changes to improve that specifically) - as for whether it’s ambient I suppose that’s in the eye of the beholder, but it’s making pads in this! and the brutality is the fact that it’s quite overdriven by default (you can change that setting in the menu) and especially the “bite” section, which I was very careful in how I use in this video as without care it very quickly can take you from a calm sound to something that sounds like it’s being torn apart at 30,000 feet. I found the cards/circuits can help to soften the edges of the effect. But as the end shows if you lean into it, it’s a lark
