But if any aspects of this impressive instrument already have a ring of familiarity about them then Musikmesse 2018 in Frankfurt am Main may have played its part. Put it this way: Waldorf Music CEO Joachim Flor found himself transfixed there. “It was more of a coincidence to have discovered Valkyrie during a tour of this year’s Frankfurt Music Fair, but I was immediately aware of the fact that this was probably one of the most exciting synthesizers of recent years,” he admirably admits. “I got into conversation with its independent UK developer, Manuel Caballero, and I’m now looking forward to working with this talented, innovative individual, who is also a great guy! Under the direction of Waldorf Music, Valkyrie flies forth into a joint production project called Kyra, which will be shown and delivered at NAMM in 2019.”
Fortunately for Manuel Caballero, the feeling was clearly mutual — Musikmesse mission accomplished. “After nearly four years in the making, I went to Musikmesse with the intention of finding an established partner for Valkyrie,” he reveals. “There's little doubt that Valkyrie's reveal at Musikmesse caused quite a stir in the synthesizer world and I had set the bar high for potential partners to bring the instrument to market. As a result of this, I'm pleased to announce a partnership with Waldorf Music. Few companies can match their track record of innovation and delivery spanning several decades. Working with Joachim Flor and his technical and design team to achieve this is an exciting and efficient partnership as we work together to launch the instrument at NAMM in 2019. Waldorf's proven heritage in product design, manufacturing, and distribution leaves me to do what I do best, which is applying the most advanced technologies to the art of music, and I look forward to a continued deep working relationship with the Waldorf team.”
Kyra is initially scheduled for full production launch at The 2019 NAMM Show, January 24-27, in Anaheim, California, competitively priced at €1,899.00 EUR as a desktop/rackmount model (with a keyboard version to follow later in 2019)."

YAMAHA - MODX
The MODX, is using, the same technology, as the MONTAGE - Series.
The AWM2 (Advanced Wave Memory 2) engine, is creating and emulating, synthetical and accoustical - sounds and drums.
The FM - X (Frequency Modulation), is a expressive and "easy to use" - synthesis technology.
You've got, that, "super knob", to control, some, macro - dynamics. You have, a, motion sequencer, for the rhythmical synchronisation of controller - functions. And, there, is a envelope follower, to control parameter via pattern and you can synchronise, the motion - sequencer or the arpeggiator, to a external signal (Audio Beat Sync).
In effect, it has a polyphony, of 192 notes! 128 notes, can be play through the AWM 2 - engine and the FM - X engine, can play 64 notes, simultaneously.
