wouldn't mind hearing this either...

being able to think of something like that and "just do it" with the kyma must be a dream...

what are the pros and cons of the software?

Hmm. Quick Instrument Links -> nope
Quick Effect Links -> no
Quick Developer Links -> nothing there

hmmmmm.

Ah, for Mac... Extraordinarily expensive too! Used on some interesting feature film scores.

I guess if you're working with a budget from Universal Pictures, go for it!

At the moment, my studio is in a shambles while I do a complete re-cabling (oh, just be quiet, DevonB!), but I'll see if I can't dig up a clip or two when I get things back in order.

Contrary to what James found, Kyma is also available for PC.

Processes like those described above are easily handled within Kyma. For the that one, I simply grabbed a bit of the reverb tail, and the voice, and did a spectral analysis of each. I then was easily able to morph between them using any manner of tools. I could have assigned them to the keyboard or the tablet, for instance. You can do nifty things like use the dynamics of an audio input to control the moprh process, sweeping back and forth between the two sounds as your voice gets softer or louder. Kinda neat.

i want one...

me too...

It goes without saying that reanimating the dead requires a healthy complement of additional DSP cards. Reanimating dead songs takes a little less processing power...

Never heard of it or used Kyma before-thanks for posting about it

Cool - we'll be expecting Babya Kyma Pro in a couple of weeks then...

The morphing capabilities of Kyma are very smooth and convincing. I have been wondering for years if there's any (other) software that can get you to the same quality of results.

never got a chance to try Kyma but Prosoniq Morph is really very good - tbh I highly doubt it could be so much better...

Do you use Kyma?
