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!

Very Godspeed you black emperor at the end.
Great Demo of Elmyra.2. makes me want it more now. Sound was Good as it shows of the elmyra. and it certainly speaks.
Fabulous demo loved every min!!
Thanks for your awesome demo. Now I know I need an Elmyra2
That was wicked. You’ve convinced me to buy one.
Great sounds ! Bravo !
That sounds great man. And yeah…look at all those moogs! :)
Great machine and demo!
I built one if these from the DIY kit from Thonk and its just a lovely fun thing.Nicely flexible if you look up all the alternate options in the firmware,but absolutely playable and fun even without all those things. Fabulous demo as usual, Señor Melodio.
Amazing synth! 8:12 instant The Campfire Headphase vibezzz loved it!!!
Fantastic demo!! Reminds me of the first demo of yours that I saw, Make Noise 0-coast.
If i was a synth creator i'd want my gear to be demoed here. Most definitely.

Love the video, this is a great module for big, cinematic sounds, just add reverb...and don't be shy with it.

damn your vids are so gas inducing. this is as much a showcase of them bloody moogs as the elmyra. great stuff :)

Really enjoyed this one. Lots of AFX vibes. I don't have a DFAM but I really would like one, and now an Elmyra too :)
Insanely good
Before I even finished reading its full name, I wanted it. What is wrong with me?!! Sweeeeet.

The first tones were lovely. I’m not a ferry GASsy person but it certainly peaked my interest.
Oooooo 👀 very tempting
The sound starting at 12.30 is sick
I want to sit this next to the Quadrantid Swarm and Make Noise (0-coast/strega/0-ctrl) combo (edit and the 6 tiers of Moog as well)... oh boy. Thanks for another addition to my wishlist text file :P
So im like... thats sweet 6:30 ish. And its 90s auteche. Sooo goood.
have one and love mine :)
What an amazing box of wonder. At times it sounds like the evil brother of Doc Scott's Shadow Boxing. Lovely triple DFAM setup too, Elmyra would sound lovely through the Spectravox to carve it, as you would imagine. Ace indeed!
This thing sounds absolutely apocalyptic.
Yep. Emotions.
All the DFAMs 🤯🤯🤯
great now i want 3 dfams.
ooh definite shades of Aphex here... love it.
I bought one of these a couple of months ago but had no idea about some of these features! 😮

Impressive jams! In your last section, starting around 16:20, what extra FX are you using? As you say, "More reverb."

Sony wh 1000 xm4, respectable headphones. Maybe have periods of just playing, interspersed with dialogue with the music at a lower volume?

@@mylarmelodies Funny you should say that because that is exactly what I did. 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.
So how do you like this compared to the Quarantid Swarm you also demoed..?

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

@@mylarmelodies yeah don't get me wrong, it does sound good. Anything can be ambient with enough fx! Maybe I was expecting a bit more brutality, I have a high bar for extreme sounds 😂
