This is a completed and working DIY Lyra-8 synthesizer. I did not build this, I'm the second owner, and it was built by someone that I met on Muff Wiggler. Here's what they have to say about the build:

"I've built a fair amount of synths and modules. I usually build things to keep so I always use quality components."



Here's the differences between this DIY version and a factory Lyra-8 :

• The jack labeled TUNE on this unit is the same as CV VOICES on a factory model (which controls the pitch of all oscillators.)

• This build DOES NOT include a headphone output

• The top panel is acrylic and is about the shade of a brown paper bag.

• Here's a link to the enclosure that was used:

• Dimensions are approx 12"x12"x4"

Everything functions great and it comes with a 12v PSU.



The knobs feel amazing!
