Lyra 8 alternatives

Tell you guys what I listened today that almost got close and I’m not talking the intricacies but the new dreadbox NYX V2 does some nice drones

Yeah, i got the 4. I love it. Especially through my EHX Flanger Hoax and EQD Afterneath.

I’ll bump this to share the ensemble I put up a few days ago, which is an adaptation of the Lyra 8 in Reaktor. Hopefully someone gets some good use from it.

Hey! Wonderful instrument! Lost myself playing it just like with the hardware one. Any chance you share the bg picture so we could try different colors?

I could make the B View of the ensemble into a white version, I suppose. Even though mint green is the best color they offer for that unit!

Noise Maschine iOS can come very very close, but single voice.
Try it :mask:

I pushed an update a few days ago with that white panel, hopefully that helps!

I know it’s been a while, but this Ensemble is great and I love the mint green!
