Waldorf Kyra

Kyra is a powerful, hardware virtual analog synthesizer capable of creating a wide range of contemporary sounds for live and studio musicians. As a truly multitimbral instrument it features eight independent ‘parts’, each effectively being a complete synthesizer with sound sources (OSC GROUP 1, OSC GROUP 2, SUB 1, and SUB 2); FILTERS; modulators (EGs, LFOs, and MOD MATRIX); multi-effects unit (EFFECTS); and a USB 2.0 connection. It can exchange MIDI information, as well as send the audio from each stereo PART to a computer as stereo at 96kHz and one stereo audio return from the computer supporting a single 24-bit stereo audio stream from the host DAW. Versatility further abounds as each PART has a dedicated multi-effects unit comprising nine stereo effects modules — namely, three-band EQ, Formant filter, input Limiter, Distortion module, Delay module, six-state Phaser etc.
