It’s been a busy week for esoteric synth brand Soma Laboratory. Fresh off the back of releasing Messeiver, a soundscape device that promises to ‘change your perception of radio’, the company is now relaunching its Lyra-4 synthesizer.
Lyra-4 is a more compact and affordable take on the Lyra-8, Soma’s original and best-known synthesizer. Like its big sibling, it’s described as an ‘organismic’ instrument, a term intended to denote the influence these designs take from living organisms.
