Hi Robert -

After a couple of years of lusting, I finally took delivery of my
Kyma a couple of weeks ago. In short, yes it's as good as all the
hype. In fact, it's better. The sound is rich and articulate, the
ADC/DACs are very, very good. ANything my little brain could imagine
(granular revreb? Yes! ALter my the frequency of my voice in real
time by pressing keys on a MIDI keyboard? Yes! etc. etc. etc.)

The learning is pretty huge, but that's more than half the fun!
There are many levels to the beast and you can make new, creative
stuff at any of them. From tweaking the existing 1,000 sounds to
programming your own primitives in DSP assembly and all points in
between.

It's expandable, too!

In conjunction with my MOTM rig (roughly 40 modules worth and still
growing) and my Ztar MIDI Guitar Controller, I'm in Hog Heaven. Note
that the analog synthesis on the Kyma, though serviceable, is nowhere
near what MOTM is, so the combination of both makes for an all around
great sound creation environment.
