Lyra-8

I have been rather quiet blog-wise for a while, but have been roused from my stupor by the SoS review of Soma Laboratory's Lyra-8. I'm on the waiting list.

My first thought is a desktop rack combining the Lyra-8 with the Trogotronic 679 and possibly a couple of limiters and stereo processors.

[Later that day] Soma have replied - the wait time is currently about a year. So it goes. It can only get longer with the SoS review.

Email 30th July - new staff taken on, waiting time down to six months.

Here's a Lyra-8 demo from the inventor.

Mother

If the Pittsburgh micro is pretty, the Moog MotherHub is lovely.

One of the units will probably be acquired and then a trinity box.

And, of course, something similar will be built.

Three problems:  modules are a tight squeeze; one of the power supplies is on the blink; and my Doepfer Envelope is too deep.

A shallower, narrower ASDR would help significantly and I try to pick up a power supply from Maplin on Thursday.

If I am still short of HP, I'll make do with one RVS and take a VS from the spare S/H.
