From first glance it is patently obvious that Kyra is a beautifully-designed desktop VA Synthesizer —

as the wording elegantly emblazoned on its eye-catching front fascia subtly states. As a truly multitimbral instrument it features eight independent ‘parts’ with up to 32 notes per PART, each effectively being a complete synthesizer with sound sources

(OSC GROUP 1, OSC GROUP 2, SUB 1, and SUB 2);

FILTERS; modulators (EGs, LFOs, and MOD MATRIX); multi-effects unit (EFFECTS); and a USB 2.0 connection —

can exchange MIDI (Musical Instrument Digital Interface) information, as well as send the audio from each stereo PART to a computer as

eight stereo 24-bit streams at 96kHz (with 48kHz downsample mode available) and one stereo audio return from the computer supporting

a single 24-bit stereo audio stream from the host DAW (Digital Audio Workstation). With that being said, the only other resource they share are the four balanced, stereo output pairs —

OUT A (Right and Left), OUT B (Right and Left), OUT C (Right and Left), and OUT B (Right and Left) —

using 32-bit DAC (Digital-to-Analogue Conversion) running at 96kHz sampling rate connected to four internal stereo busses and that powerful pool of 128 hardware voices.

Versatility further abounds as each PART has a dedicated multi-effects unit comprising nine stereo effects modules —

namely, three-band EQ, Formant filter, input Limiter, Distortion module, Delay module, six-state Phaser, Chorus flanger, Stereo reverb, and output Limiter —

with dedicated audio stream via USB (Universal Serial Bus).
