Waldorf Kyra

"Digital Virtual analog from Germany, boasting to implement FPGA-based synthesizer technology"

Overview

OVERVIEW white midi module with wood side, pretty large 256x64 pixel graphic OLED display, buttons and not less than 31 knobs for sound edit. In the lower section a matrix modulation with leds.

TERMINAL CONNECTORS:
-USB 2.0 for MIDI and audio.
- 5-pin DIN MIDI In/Out/Thru.
- 4 stereo, balanced, analog audio outputs
- stereo headphone output.

Sound

SOUND a polyphony of 128 voices, 8-parts multitimbric each generates up to 32 voices at 24 bit 96 kHz (32 bits DACS).
Sound structure is basically the same to old analog and V.A from the nineties with 2 virtual oscillators to filter/modulation/matrix structure boosted by this famous FPGA.. KYRA oscillators are organized in three main groups: SAWTOOTh basic waveforms / 4096 PCM sampled waveforms with x32 oversample a 18-bits / noise generator.
Each part can be be hardsynched, ringmodulated, detuned from oscillators and even fatten up with 4 kinds of suboscillators; finally signal is passed thru a 3-bands EQ, digital filter, limiter, distortion, delay, phaser, chorus, flanger, reverb.. Various playmodes like split or big voice stack or internal arpeggiator with 128 presets.

ENVELOPE there are 3 EGS ADSR for filter, amplitude and modulation

LFO 3 modulators with 128 shapes with variable phase and width, de-sync and free flow mode.

FILTER: digital filter multimode LP2, BP2, HP2 , LP4, BP4, HP4 full stereo

MEMORY 26 memory banks (7 RAMS + 19 ROM) with 128 patches each... yes! thats 3,328 sounds.
