Perhaps, not bothered by it though I guess. My light is red, instead of green too.

Red light equals ANGRY! They’re better than the green light ones

Ah… so for those that are interested… you can identify which version you have, mine is Version 2.4. If that means anything.
This is the inside of my Lyra. I am currently replacing a potentiometer.
It’s a work of art in here. Simply beautiful work.

Yes, I bought it this year in March I want to say.

any chance you took some wider shots of the internals? would love to see the whole thing without breaking down my own lyra 
Just open her up mate, you can literally just take the back panel off and see the whole synth board. There’s only 3 boards in there. The synth, the controls, then the power and i/o board. Definitely the best synth to work on I have ever had.
Is anyone here aware of any mods to add an LFO CV in or out to the Lyra?

Does anyone know of there’s something internally, that allows a way to adjust the global depth of the vibrato? The vibrato on mine is so strong, I never use it, which is a real shame.

Not that I know of. I know each unit has slightly different speeds and there’s a nice surge and dip when switching it on and off. Mine are all a little too fast for my liking but I like flicking it in then back off to do momentary spazz outs

Little jazzy number using Lyra and Digitakt.
DT is just supplying the drums, everything else you can hear is the wonderful little ménage a trois of Lyra, Analog Heat and Quadraverb. All improvised live, which is why it’s not so adventurous from an arrangement perspective.

Lyra is great, as ever.
But also sick beat, love that.

I really like the Lyra for adding texture but fuck me if it doesn’t make a pretty decent lead instrument too.
Ok! I’m glad I bought it! This thing is really something special! Well built and beautiful too!

Here’s a new Lyra video, pitches controlled by the LFOs. It’s a gentle one, full of imperfection!

I have been playing with various tunings with my favorite scale being (lately) F Dorian, with the specific tuning being: F F C G Ab Ab Eb Bb. The repeated notes are an octave apart. Tuning makes the FM a little more manageable, but still it is Lyra-8 so it is always wild and enjoyable. Trying different tuning configurations makes it feel like a different instrument. Interested to hear others view on tuning and approaches.

Depends on the definition of “tuning” . If we mean tuning the voices to a pitch on the western equal temperament scale, then 99% of the time, I dont.
Some times I’ll tune in some nice intervals to play along with my mate that plays sax. But most of the time I twiddle the knobs until it sounds good. I dont really care what ‘note’ each voice is.
Works for me.

Sorry, I didn’t qualify what I meant by tuning, but yes, I meant tuning to an equal temperament scale. For my noise music, I find going between tuned notes and untuned(?) notes help build and release tension.
I tend to wiggle the tuning knobs about until my wife comes in and shouts at me.
Tuned to the scale of marital discord.
