BLL Instruments - Elyra
- Order number: 240147
Keytars are cool. No question. Elyra from French manufacturer BLL takes this concept into the 21st century with up to date features and sound-generation.
Missing the glory days of the Keytar 80's? Well, we might have something in store for you! If you've been itching to swap your trusty keybeds for the tactile sensation of strumming, this might just pique your interest.
Say hello to the Elyra from BLL Instruments. This innovative device combines the depth of stringed instruments with the expansive sonic possibilities of synthesizers. Imagine playing a synthesizer the way you play a guitar or bass, with sections for strumming rhythms and melodies. Designed for both right- and left-handed players, Elyra can be played comfortably on your lap or on a table, like a compact groove box.
The Elyra is not only a different way to interact with your synths. It has its own integrated sound-engine. It has 16 voices and is (up to) 16 part multitimbral. The synth is a development from Kodamo, another french company known for its elaborate syntheiszers. This one combines virtual analogue and FM synthesis. Especially the latter might be highly responsive to strumming. Elyra is portable (of course), weighs under three pounds, is battery-powered and thanks to its battery-powered design and can also act as a controller for your other gear via MIDI. However, a fog machine is NOT included.
