Welcome to Bad Gear, the show about the world's most hated audio tools. Today we are going to talk about Waldorf Kyra. Is this high-end synth and VA synthesis flagship even a real Waldorf? Is it a wavetable synthesizer? What's an Exodus Valkyrie? Who's Manuel Caballero, what's so great about FPGA technology and do we really need another digital synth in a world full of software instruments and plugins?
Thanks to Klangfarbe for letting lending me one of their floor models:
