MOTM

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.
