Welcome to Bad Gear, the show about the world's most hated audio tools. Today we are going to talk about Waldorf Kyra. Is this highend synth and VA synthesis flagship even a real Waldorf? Is it a wavetable synthesizer? What's an Exodus Valkyrie? Who's Manuel Caballero, what's so great about FPGA technology and do we really need another digital synth in a world full of software instruments and plugins?

Thanks to Klangfarbe for letting lending me one of their floor models:
