There’s similarity between the Strega and Lyra for sure. I’m having much more luck getting the Strega into a track though! From using it as a straight delay, a sort of fucked tape delay with warble, an oscillator, a drone and a lovely sort of waves sound with the filter modulating.
I love the Lyra but can never get it into anything without it being all encompassing. I like playing ot on its own, more than recording it! I went to sell it but it got damaged in transit so it’s back with me now - but to be honest, I just got the switch to replace the buggered one, and I think it’s on the block now. It can go. I’m getting the noises I want out of the Strega.
Edit- obviously your not getting 8 voices though!
The Strega also works so well with 0-coast it’s almost a crime not to get it lol. Verdict is still out on the 0-control I got to go with them. Unquantized pitch is a pain in the arse to be honest. I’m running it to a ZOIA to quantise the pitch and send it back out to the 0-coast and Strega.
This is totally different direction from the link I put up a few posts. But the Strega is doing the waves noise and the bouncing ball sort of thing - with the 0-coast running through it.
