Members aeon Posted August 17, 2005 Members Share Posted August 17, 2005 looks like an older chassis that was upgraded to a 320. does it even come with any DSP cards, I wonder? hmm,Ian Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

By the way, you're right about that refurbed old model. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members urbanscallywag Posted August 17, 2005 Author Members Share Posted August 17, 2005 http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=7342349714 Its technically a Capybara LS. The auction was misleading. Should I try a blatent flake and say I have no money give me negative feedback, or should I asked if she agrees it was misrepresented?

Members urbanscallywag Posted August 17, 2005 Author Members Share Posted August 17, 2005 Oh, man, seriously the dumbest thing I've done in awhile. I wrote her a nice email telling that the item wasn't actually a 320, its an LS. http://www.symbolicsound.com/cgi-bin/bin/view/Products/CapyLuckyStudent I mentioned that and hoped that we could do something about it. I hope I don't get a negative NON PAYING BIDDER! It was misrepresented though, it said 320! Thankfully, my PayPal account is intact. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members suitandtieguy Posted August 17, 2005 Members Share Posted August 17, 2005 looks like it was stolen. if i were looking for high-powered DSP synth/fx hardware i'd probably rather have an Eventide DSP series unit and a Nord Modular G2x. the kyma is most useful when you only want to use it for _one_ thing. i've never owned one but a close friend had a ridiculously high powered Kyma system and i think i had to put up with about 4 months of phone calls bitching about not being able to do what he wanted to with it until he sold it and rolled his own software solution. there's a guy (dennis is i think his name) who wrote a series of looping extensions for it. i can see buying one as a dedicated looper ... but you'd still need a computer and a MIDI controller to use it. if additive morphing synthesis is your thing though, the Kyma is the only game in town.

Members urbanscallywag Posted August 17, 2005 Author Members Share Posted August 17, 2005 Tis tis the bottom line! Hopefully they'll understand that. I know I could have been satisfied with other DSPs, but if it were a 320 even after buying the Firewire interface I could dump it for the same price after I decided I didn't like it. Stroooooopid. Yes. Let this topic die. I'll gain control of myself. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members MartinHines Posted August 17, 2005 Members Share Posted August 17, 2005 Originally posted by suitandtieguy looks like it was stolen. It DOES look like some type of information sticker was pulled off the back. Also, the description sounds very suspicious -- an estate auction?

Members FatBaron Posted August 17, 2005 Members Share Posted August 17, 2005 GAS, baby. I was tempted to place a bid on that MacBeth thingee a few days ago, then realized what a worthless POS it appeared to be. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members urbanscallywag Posted August 17, 2005 Author Members Share Posted August 17, 2005 I bid on the MacBeth beast. He himself mentioned how the oscillators were difficult to tune. I'd rather GAS for a Nord Modular and H3000. He's right. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members suitandtieguy Posted August 17, 2005 Members Share Posted August 17, 2005 Originally posted by urbanscallywag I'd rather GAS for a Nord Modular and H3000. He's right. it would sound better, be more flexible, and wouldn't require a computer to use at a gig. i'm not really into the nord stuff, but _man_ that g2x is sexy. jim bought one. i thought it sounded _really_ good.

I have a Kyma, and I've used a G2. There is simply no comparison. If you want easy analog, modular emulation, get a G2. But for a sound design, compositional system, with sample mangling, fx, and MIDI, there is simply no comparison between the 2 systems. And the Kyma has way better sound quality. You'll probably still want a MIDI sequencer, and other tools. Just as if you had a G2, you would probably want other tools - do you work with samples, for instance?
