Pyra

Pyra physical modelling interface showing Character/Type controls, Decay/Nature parameters, and Damp/Impact settings with a triangular visualization displaying plucked string resonance patterns and Life mode controls at the bottom.

Pyra is my take on physical modelling. It’s a 12-voice string synthesizer that covers everything from acoustic to electric, plucked to bowed string sounds. It runs on Live and Push 3 in standalone mode.

Expression and tuning

Pyra features deep expression control and plays beautifully with MPE controllers. It can be played microtonally using a microtuner, or Ableton’s built-in tuning system.

Accessible by design

All of Pyra’s parameters are logically laid out and fully controllable via Tabbing, making it accessible to blind, visually impaired, and sighted users.

System Requirements

  • Ableton Live 11 or higher
  • Max for Live
  • Optional: Ableton Push 2, 3 or 3 Standalone.
