Description

Here's what Waldorf say about the Kyra:

The Waldorf KYRA is a 128-voice, 10-oscillator virtual analogue synthesizer based on Valkyrie.

Powered by FPGA (Field-Programmable Gate Array) processing, a great improvement on legacy DSP gear. It features 8-part multitimbrality (each part having its own dedicated 9-module effects unit), , true stereo operation, 32x oversampled hardware with dual wavetables providing over 4,000 waveshapes, hard sync, FM (Frequency Modulation), and ring modulation.

It also features emulations of classic analogue ladder filters with 2- (-12dB/oct) and 4-pole (-24dB/oct) configurations. There are also 3 envelope generators, 3 stereo LFOs with 64 shapes and MIDI clock sync, an arpeggiator, full keyboard microtuning, and true polyphonic portamento plus a comprehensive 18-channel modulation matrix.

The Kyra also comes a wide variety of effects — each of its 8 parts will feature a three-band EQ with sweepable mid, dual tube-style limiters, formant filter, distortion, six-stage phaser, stereo digital delay, comb/flanger/chorus/doubler and a programmable reverb – all run at 96kHz.

Kyra's connectivity is surprisingly flexible with four assignable, balanced stereo analogue outputs (converted from 32-bit/96kHz), a headphone output, low-latency 5-pin DIN MIDI, a fully class-compliant USB 2 implementation for MIDI, and a stereo 24-bit/96kHz audio stream for each of its eight parts.

Analog

Analogue is sound generation based on physical electronic circuits such as oscillators, filters, and amplifiers rather than digital processing. It produces continuously variable signals with natural drift, saturation, and harmonic character, giving sounds a distinctive warmth and movement. Analogue instruments are valued for their hands-on control, immediacy, and expressive response in both studio and live performance environments.

Digital

Digital is sound generation and processing based on digital signal processing rather than analogue circuitry. It is used for precise control, stable tuning, patch memory, and complex sound design that would be difficult to achieve with purely analogue systems. For example, a digital instrument might be used to create detailed evolving textures or realistic emulations while storing and recalling complete sound setups instantly.

Modular

Modular is a synthesis format made up of separate, interchangeable modules that are patched together to create custom signal paths. It allows complete freedom over sound design, sequencing, and modulation, with each system built to suit the user’s workflow and creative approach.

Synth

A synth is an electronic instrument that creates sound through electronic signal generation and shaping. It is used to produce basses, leads, pads, textures, and effects by controlling oscillators, filters, envelopes, and modulation. Synths are central to electronic music and modern production, offering flexible sound design for both studio work and live performance.

Workstation

A Workstation is a professional keyboard instrument that combines high-quality sounds with powerful sequencing, recording, and performance features. More than just a keyboard, it acts as a complete music production hub, allowing players to compose, arrange, and perform without needing extra equipment.
Workstations typically include a wide range of instrument voices, drum kits, effects, and built-in sequencers for layering and arranging tracks. Many also offer sampling, audio recording, and deep integration with MIDI or computer software.
Favoured by composers, producers, and live performers, workstations are versatile tools that bring together creativity and practicality in one instrument.
