Neutral Labs Elmyra 2 Desktop Four Voice Hybrid Drone Synthesizer

Elmyra 2 is a 4-voice digital/analog hybrid drone synthesizer and platform for microtonal sonic exploration, capable of creating anything from lush ambient soundscapes to gritty droning textures and shrieking noises, available as a 42 HP Eurorack module or semi-modular desktop synth. With 31 modulation targets, 4 polymetric sequencers, delay, additional per-voice effects, a choice of various filters, as well as onboard LFOs and utilities, it is essentially a purpose-built small modular system in itself. A set of preset cards (included) or electronic components like capacitors or diodes can be plugged into the front panel in order to change the sound character.

Features

• 4 independent voices activated by touch or CV
• wavetable-based complex oscillator engine, up to 12 oscillators in total, 1V/octave compatible
• chromatic mode makes chords and harmonic sounds possible, microtonal scales supported
• 41 patch points
• 31 modulation targets
• touchpads with analog envelopes that can be used as modulation sources
• resonant filter switchable between:
  • boomy and aggressive multimode 2-pole state variable filter (low-pass, band-pass, high-pass)
  • creamy 4-pole low-pass ladder filter
• delay with unhealthy amounts of feedback
• lo-fi reverb
• analog OUCH circuit: a unique combination of destructive distortion, waveshaping and filtering
• sonic character can be customised by using special preset cards (set of 4 included) or components like diodes that can be plugged into the front panel
• preset cards can be used with other Neutral Labs modules
• external audio can be processed via audio input
• 9 per-voice modulations and effects:
  • unison detune
  • dual sub-oscillators
  • saturation
  • bitmangler
  • sample rate reduction
  • noise
  • high-pass filter
  • low-pass filter
• 2 LFOs: 1 sine, 1 complex morphable
• 4 sequencers with arbitrary step length per voice (up to 128), allows polymetric structures
• delay time and LFOs can be clock-synced or unsynced (tap tempo is also possible)
• utilities
  • dual attenuator/buffered multiple/voltage generator
  • CV summing circuit
• case made of plant-based bioplastic and native German oak wood
• boutique synth handmade in Germany
