STRUCTURE
LYRA is based on eight generators, which will be referred to as voices. Their design is not like
a traditional subtractive synthesis VCO. Instead of having a linear or logarithmic dependency
on control voltage, they resemble the tone generators in old electric organs. Hence the use
of "voices" instead of "VCOs" in this manual. Lyra uses non-linearity a lot, and the voices
are constructed in such a way that allows for non-linearity to express itself.
The voices are divided into four pairs (12, 34, 56, 78). All the pairs are divided in two groups,
with two pairs in each (1234, 5678).
Each voice has its own TUNE knob. FAST, MOD, modulation source selector and SHARP af-
fect two voices simultaneously. HOLD and PITCH control the whole group of two pairs/four
voices. VIBRATO, TOTAL FB and the FM structure switch control all eight voices together.
The voices can function either in an eight-voice electric organ mode, or in an FM synthesis
mode with each of the voices and its envelope acting as a separate FM operator. The voice's
impact on FM synthesis will decrease along with the decay of its envelope.
There's a CV IN (onthe rear panel) to modulate the selected voice groups with an external
signal.
The HYPER LFO is a complex low-frequency generator, whose waveform is synthesized from
two simple LFOs by summation or multiplication of their frequencies. It also has an FM
synthesis mode. The LFO can modulate the selected pairs of voices and the MOD DELAY.
The MOD DELAY consists of two lines of delay with cross-feedback and a special architec-
ture that enables resonance between the two lines. Each line's delay time can be individually
modulated from various sources, including external ones.
The DISTORTION is last in the chain, after the delay. It enables the delay to also influence
the distortion.
For all its experimental character, LYRA is a professional instrument. Its output dynamics are
balanced, so that even in extreme modes it won't harm an amp or speaker on-stage. The
frequency response has been adjusted for live performance, where you naturally have that
screaming high-midrange and not enough low-end. To compensate for this, low frequencies
have been boosted a little, while the highs sound softer. Unless you push the limits and use
extreme modes of course…

CONTROLS DESCRIPTION
VOICES SECTION
1 Sensors 1...8. Consist of a pair of contacts each. The upper contact is sensitive, the lower
is the control voltage. Put your finger between the contacts to close the circuit with your
body's conductivity. The current is very low, several orders below sensitivity threshold, and
is absolutely safe:-)
The sensors launch envelope generators for each voice. Eight voices, eight envelope gener-
ators, eight sensors. By varying your touch and technique, you can vary a voice's attack and
volume. With a light touch or a series of fast short strokes, you can get a slow attack. Apply
less pressure, and you open the envelope generator only partially. The sensor behaviour is
affected by skin moisture level, and, in turn, by the performer's emotional state.
At high humidity levels (e. g., an open-air show at night when dew appears, or in rainy
weather), humidity may affect the sensors' circuit, which could lead to some of the voices
sounding continuously. This won't harm the instrument, just allow it to dry in a dry room
or in the sun and it will be all right again. Just note that it might affect the performance.
2 The FAST switches, in downward position, give a fast release to the voices they're in
between. Additionally, the sensors to the left and right of the switch become less sensitive.
They become a little bit slower to trigger and require more pressure. When the Fast switch
is on (down), a higher HOLD setting is required for the voices to sound. That pair of voices
will start sounding later, and the HOLD knob for them must be set higher than the HOLD
for the voices with the FAST off. This lets you leave some of the voices silent when using the
