A live synthesizer jam performed entirely on hardware.

Neutral Labs sent over the Elmyra 2 for free. I was interested to try it because it has some of the spirit and playfulness of the Lyra 8, but much more control over pitch. It's also geared toward overdriven, saturated sounds, which is where my head is at these days. All of that was cool and amazing about the Elmyra, but I particularly fell in love with the sequencer, having four independent sequencer lines with differing lengths for the four voices.

I'll probably never use this thing's wavetables, but the basic oscillator sounds are nice. The filter options are fantastic. I really love the circuit-bending-style chips that change the drive option. And having oscillators that tune to semi-tones? Incredible. I wish all eurorack did that.

Anyway, along with the Walrus Sloër (doing some heavy lifting on pitched reverb), this was an unexpected song that came together quickly thanks to the extensive sequencer. I look forward to pairing this synth with some other simple devices and making some more ambient doom.
