SOMA, the developer of the LYRA-4 and LYRA-8 analog Synthesizer announced today their first product for the Eurorack format. LYRA8-FX is a new FX processor that features a delay and distortion effect processor in one module. It allows to create not only standard delays but a wide range of different effects.

What The Developer Says About The LYRA-8 FX

LYRA8-FX is an FX processor that can give you a significant part of the mysterious LYRA-8 sound. LYRA8-FX consists of the FX section from the LYRA-8, expanded with CV controls and packed into a Eurorack module. It contains a double modulated lo-fi delay with cross-feedback and the unique possibility of self-modulation, where the delay output signal modulates its own sample rate. Also, it packs a parallel distortion with CV control of the drive. The distortion is after the delay.

It’s much more than a delay – you can get a simple reverb, comb filter, chorus and much more cool FXs which are hard to describe. It has a famous LYRA-8 build quality – no SMD, no twisted plastic shafts, no crappy parts.
