I believe so, yes. He also has experimented with filters as well,  and uses
a Korg MS-20 (I think it was the 20).

I'm surprised to hear ya'll get so down on the electric horn without trying
it or hearing it for yourself. Sometimes you have to live with a new
instrument to find out what it has to say (or not say)

I heard Jorrit Dykstra play his lyricon the other nite, using a Cwejman
analog synth as his sound source, and it gave him an amazing amount of
control of the sound parameters (or rather, he can really make music with
it). 

If you haven't heard him  play it yet, you have about  three weeks before he
splits. Maybe two...
