i create my own instruments on the kyma system. i mostly use midi as
the
control, but am now building analog sequencers in kyma.
the instruments range from sample processing/pitching to additive
synthesis
to processing other sounds from other synths.
i've written a tuning tool in kyma, which implements many of erv
wilson's tunings
and rhythms. this tool changes the tunings of all of my instruments in
real
time.

it is tough to build expressive digital instruments. i don't think i've
been
particularly successful just yet, but i believe that in the long run,
digital
is the way to go. sample rates will improve, and so will the software
technology for controlling the instruments.
