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 processors? They won't even tell what kind of processors they are... the lack of transparency is such that the only specs of the processor is measured in "capstones" whatever that is...
Ok, it might be the best thing since cheese, but they don't put any real effort in selling with actual numbers/data... which raises so many questions...
since there's nothing else apparently today that has dedicated hardware for audio, I can only imagine that a dedicated hardware makes sense for a little less latency, which is also not a big deal these days...
A dedicated low latency hardware like 'Bela' (less than 0.5ms) is much cheaper, does the price of kyma reflect a corresponding power in relation to its cost difference?
So it seems the price is more about the convenience, the user experience and the software...
now, since I'm here, what can it do that pd can't? Or any other plugin / computer music tool out there, IRCAM stuff icluded... Csound, Supercollider et all?
thanks
