Neutral Labs Queen Elmyra Drone Royalty

This new project extends their range of Neutral Labs self titled boutique synths with the Queen Elmyra - which expands the functions of the original Elmyra and Elmyra 2 significantly, they call it the "not so modest drone synthesizer" and it appears to stay true to their somewhat experimental approach to sound creation. They seem to have taken a leaf out of the Soma book of note trriggering with Lyra/Pulsar 23 style touch buttons, and there is a ton of CV and audio connectivity.

A somewhat trite voiceover is a strange juxtaposition over the wild and atmospheric sound Queen Elmyra is capable of.

With 8 voices and up to 24 oscillators controlled by touchpads, MIDI or gates, 69 knobs and faders, 96 patch points on the front panel and every single parameter being CV controllable, it's a veritable behemoth of drone and experimental sounds (and also 8 independent mono synths whenever that's what you want it to be).

Its available to back via Kickstarter with a goal of £38,809 - its already acheived over half of that, with 39 days to go (at time of writing). Some reward tiers have sold already, but you can still get it at a €1500 (£1294) early bird deal. Note do read the T&Cs and all that, they say it will only ship to certain countries.
