For sale: SOMA Lyra-8 in excellent condition with the original power supply. This bundle includes a modified Korg STK1 tuner (piezo removed and included in case you wish to add it back), a genuine SOMA Decksaver, a 1-foot and 3-foot set of patch cables, rechargeable batteries for the tuner with charger included, and command strips to mount the tuner.
Captain Black originally purchased this Lyra-8 for personal use in the studio and spent some time putting together what we believe is an ideal tuning solution for the instrument. The modified Korg STK1 works strictly from its line input, giving you clean, stable tuning without picking up room noise. In practice, it solves one of the biggest practical hurdles of the Lyra platform, especially when working with drones, intervals, and paired-voice harmonics.
Details below:
Fully tested and verified. All controls, touch sensors, and functions operate correctly.
Includes the original 12V DC power supply.
Includes a genuine SOMA Decksaver.
Includes a modified Korg STK1 tuner configured for line-input tuning only. The original piezo element is included if you wish to restore it.
Includes a battery charger, rechargeable batteries for the tuner, command strips for mounting, and both 1-foot and 3-foot patch cable sets.
There is one extremely minor dent on the bottom front-left corner of the Lyra-8. You likely would not have noticed had I not disclosed it.
The Decksaver is overall in excellent condition, but there are some minor blemishes. See photo 19.
The SOMA Lyra-8 is an eight-voice analog organismic synthesizer built around Soma's nonlinear synthesis philosophy. Rather than behaving like a traditional keyboard synthesizer, the Lyra encourages direct interaction through touch contacts, cross-modulation between voices, internal feedback paths, analog delay, and unstable organic behaviors that constantly evolve as you play. It is capable of everything from beautiful drifting drones and haunting harmonics to chaotic textures, noise experiments, and cinematic soundscapes. Few instruments sound remotely like a Lyra-8, and fewer still invite the same kind of exploratory interaction.
Is it easy to tame? NO. Is it easy to tune and keep in tune? NO. Do you always want to tune it? NO WAY. Does it sound like nothing else on earth? YES. Does it open up all kinds of creative possibilities for your productions? MOST DEFINITELY :)
