via this auction"Basic Capybara 320 system complete with firewire drive interface and Kyma X software CD (once installed you can update to the latest version off the symbolic sound website). It also comes with PDF versions of the Kyma X Revealed instruction manual as well as information on Prototypes and the Tau Editor.
This system has long been the secret weapon for professional sound designers and musicians such as BT, NIN, Aphex Twin, and many others. Specs below.
Imagine the sound designer's dream machine...
• a machine that would let you graphically string together unlimited-length chains of processing and synthesis modules and run them with zero latency on a dedicated multiprocessor computer with little or no impact on your main computer's memory or processing capabilities...
• where you could expand the processing capabilities of your hardware transparently, simply by plugging in more processing cards, because the machine was designed from the outset with scalability and multiple processors in mind...
• where you'd never have to sacrifice sound quality just because you're trying to squeeze more real time processing out of your desktop or laptop computer...
• with FireWire, timecode, MIDI, and 8 channels of 24-bit 100 kHz audio...
• controlled by the award-winning Kyma software with cutting-edge algorithms like granular processing, real-time analysis/resynthesis, aggregate synthesis, and spectral morphing...
• an online community of colleagues at the leading edge of film, music, advertising, and game development...
• a tech support staff that is among the most dedicated and educated in the business,
• and a symbolic, blue LED on the front panel.
