Description
Elmyra is a digital/analog hybrid drone synthesizer and platform for sonic exploration. The 10-bit audio resolution of its oscillators gives it a wonderfully gritty sound, and the analog distortion circuit adds some nasty bite to it. Its delay can sculpt the sound into lush dronescapes or brain-melting feedback explosions. Elmyra can be played using the metal touch pads or put in drone mode, and there’s also a sequencer! Available in matte black/gold or glossy white/silver, the synth runs on USB power.
