1. What Is Crow Hill Company “Lyre”?
Lyre is a lyre (ancient harp) instrument that combines an atmosphere reminiscent of ancient Rome with the pitch-bend character of a Japanese koto. The raw, captivating sound of an instrument like this often lives in its quietest dynamic range. The particular instrument sampled here was not blessed with great resonance either — there is a fragility in the way it responds when moving from stillness into vibration — which is exactly why it earned the verdict that it would sound great once sampled.
Key Features
- Recorded at Castlesound Studios in Edinburgh
- Round-robin sampling
- Dynamic layers covering everything from extremely delicate touches, like brushing the strings with the pad of a finger, to fierce koto-like plucking
- A large main knob lets you dial in a one-of-a-kind randomized tremolando — use it to build tension or to sustain fast-decaying plucked notes
- Add delay and reverb to generate hazy, ambient textures
- Four effect macros combining polyrhythmic delays with lush reverbs
