All this discussion makes me wonder about relative things such as dedicated DSP hardware for audio that's still out there in the market. Which are they??? How relevent are they these days? btw, I found a fun post to read on this thread: it's the 4th post, automatically linked here: https://www.gea

I don't have experience with Kyma but have always been curious. I assume there are some nice proprietary algos that are what you're paying for (like buying lexicon or eventide hardware) - along with a presumably nice ui. The dsp hardware specs of those types of effects are often unpublished - bu

Dear all, honestly I never used Kyma. Anyway, I realized a port to Pd of a composition of Agostino Di Scipio born in Kyma. Apart all technical and aesthetic problems due to the different implementation, my opinion is that, in this specific case, Pd can perform all tasks with no CPU problem and wit

Hi, any of you guys into Kyma? So many questions about this thing I've never seen... It's quite expensive and I wonder where the buck goes to... software design? User experience? Whatever it is, it doesn't seem its dedicated hardware justifies even half the cost... c'mon, 3k for what kinds of pro
