Waldorf Kyra Soundcard Mode and Multitimbral Sound Demo

Waldorf Kyra sounds awesome but did you know that it can function as a soundcard with up to 8 stereo outputs streaming at 96 kHz over its USB port? It’s basically a giant synth DSP farm card for your DAW.

I'm glad someone did this demo! Thanks man!

[@ErikHawk]

You're welcome! Science is not dead!

[@unkwn_io3350]

Awesome review on a great piece of kit!!

[@MarshalArnold]

Nice review, Kyra is sweeet!

[@bibik44]

On a mac you can probably create aggregated audio device to connect Kyra audio with your main audio interface.

[@ErikHawk]

Yes that is a good suggestion! I will give this a try.

I love this synth. Very sad people refuse to make soundsets for it.

[@ErikHawk]

It's an amazing synth, but I think they priced it too high.

[@MarianoPerez]

Do you think this synth might be too difficult for a beginner.

[@thegreatsiberianitch]

Probly yes

[@ErikHawk]

Probably, also really expensive. Check out Sweetwater's list of synths for beginners, www.sweetwater.com/insync/best-synthesizers-for-beginners/

Is that your Music Producer shirt? If so, I had a good idea to give you. Let me know. I'd run with it but have too much other stuff going on.

[@ErikHawk]

Yup, that's my t-shirt. They're available here, synchronizedmusic.threadless.com/designs/80s-music-producer

[@Beautyoutofruin]

Just to clarify Waldorf didn’t create this synth

[@ErikHawk]

Right, but it is being manufactured by Waldorf and distributed by Korg.

[@Beautyoutofruin]

I remember the designer was looking to get a deal going with a company that could produce this on a bigger scale.
Waldorfs boss had come across him at a synth gear show, and managed to strike a deal.

[@ErikHawk]

@@Beautyoutofruin Very cool, I did not know. The synth designer reached out to me after seeing this review to say thanks. I hope to see more synths from him in the future.

[@Beautyoutofruin]

That’s awesome that he reached out to you. Definitely would love to see more from him for sure.

[@Beautyoutofruin]

This was the prototype before Waldorf took him on th-cam.com/video/gJjZ7JTN31o/w-d-xo.html

Subbed

[@ErikHawk]

Thank you. Thanks for watching.

[@audiolego]

@@ErikHawk so I hear from users that scrolling thru the wavetables, you have to use those buttons? so no editor for this yet? Such a pretty looking synth

[@ErikHawk]

@@audiolego There was no editor when I tested it. But I must say, I didn't really miss having an editor because the display was so easy to navigate. Yeah, gorgeous synth!

[@AcidTechnoMan5000]

So this works like a virus on steroids as far as the interface. Too bad it doesn't sound as good as a virus from what I've heard, but 99.999% of the demos are just boring ambient textures and pads. I need to hear bass. I hear a little bit here in this video.

[@ErikHawk]

Oh, like straight up aggressive bass synth sounds, yes it's definitely got these. Sorry I didn't do an EDM demo but yeah the modern, aggressive synth bass patches are in there.
