Minibrute 2https://www.arturia.com/minibrute-2-landingMore or less a beefed up Minibrute with a patchbay.

Makes sense as the lower-tier Microbrute was patchable, and probably ate into some of the original Minibrute's sales for it. Weren't there crazy QC issues with the first Minibrute as well?

That pipe thing looks pretty rad. Wonder if you could basically do the same thing by piping your voice into a bass station or something (and adding a reverb pedal).
― DJI, Monday, 15 January 2018 22:57 (six years ago) link
Probably something very similar. I like that the prototype has this chart on the side to explain each combination:

Got my LYRA-4 invoice today, production must be going strong. Probably more people going for the -8, I guess, since it's not that much more.

Surprised at the price. I mean it's probably worth that, but the mini and mono are so cheap for what they offer, would've been great if they could hit 1000 or below for the smaller of the two. I own a mini and went to a friends house the other day and played with his monologue and had a great time with it.
― dan selzer, Thursday, 18 January 2018 15:05 (six years ago) link
huh, no sequencer. That's weird. Otherwise it looks like a mix of features from the previous two with the addition of the third oscillator (digital), an additional effect and bitimbre ability.

Might be a dealbreaker.
What a weird video. We’re people complaining that their demos were too steril? Lacking in koi fish?Looks fun. I’m happy with my reface DX which is not as powerful or as expensive.

Finally found an Novation Ultranova for cheap, after reading about how it's Tom Ellard's favourite synth on his blog. Seems pretty good so far (except that it feels incredibly cheap)

EZ snappin are you still vibing with the lyra-8, kinda thinking of selling my alpha juno and getting one with the proceeds
― Steve Reich, 'Ass-Clapping Music' (haitch), Tuesday, 14 August 2018 04:17 (five years ago) link
My son was playing around with the Arturia MatrixBrute this weekend. That thing's a monster, the whole push button matrix is a pretty ingenious approach to patching.
I'm pretty hyped up about the Mother series and he's interested in getting one of the mini Korgs. All this new analog stuff feels much more attainable than in the old days.
Also, some of these high tech DJ rigs look pretty insane, and not too expensive. It's all very tempting and I need exactly none of it.
― Mario Meatwagon (Moodles), Tuesday, 14 August 2018 04:34 (five years ago) link
I love my Lyra 8 but it's a specialized piece of kit. It doesn't play well with my other gear besides drum machines. However, what it does well, from droning ambient washes to harsh thunderous noise, it does better than anything else I've gotten my hands on.
Have you gotten your hands on one? Is there anywhere you can try one out?
― EZ Snappin, Tuesday, 14 August 2018 04:58 (five years ago) link
not got hold of one, strong feeling that it is 'my bag' though

alpha juno is such a great little guy though.

There are plenty of demos out there now. If they excite you I say go for it. Or if you're near Nashville drop me a line.

I went to Five G in Harajuku the week before last, which is amazing. It's pretty small but absolutely packed with interesting stuff, including the Lyra-8. I didn't end up buying anything but it's a great place to visit.
Has anyone tried the ELTA Polivoks Mini yet?

I already have three semi-modular synths I can only vaguely understand but I can imagine it would be enormously good fun to pick up a couple of the Volcas and patch them together.
