Jim, I'm curious as to whether you sold your Kyma on eBAy ? I bid for it, but chickened out..... but I am still thinking about selling a bunch of stuff (kurzweil, Jamman etc...) to see whether I could scrape enough together for a Kyma..... cheers, Darcy Jim Coker wrote: > > Yes, after several years of looping w/ Kyma, I've decided to > sell my system.
