This long-promised super-synth is shaping up nicely

NAMM 2019: Back in June 2018, Waldorf announced Kyra, which it called the world’s first fully FPGA (Field-Programmable Gate Array) powered synthesizer.

As promised at the time, it’s on show at NAMM 2019, and it’s quite something. We found out a little more on the show floor.

I take care of the reviews on MusicRadar and Future Music magazine, though can sometimes be spotted in front of a camera talking little sense in the presence of real musicians. For the past 30 years, I have been unable to decide on which instrument to master, so haven't bothered. Currently, a lover of all things high-gain in the guitar stakes and never one to resist churning out sub-standard funky breaks, the likes of which you'll never hear.
