I am using a Yamaha 03D with the 4x AES/EBU option board and it is indeed great. In case you have not decided on which mixer to get, I would suggest the 01V (the only difference with the 03D is the lack of 4 sub-groups, mouse port and a smaller display at about half the price of it's bigger brother). So if not having these features does not bother you, go for it! I got my 03D before the 01V hit the market .

I got my Kyma system for live performance. I haven't used it out yet, still on that learning curve. Indeed, I'm still building a new system for live work so I can't say what controllers I'll end up using. I know I'll have a four channel PA but I haven't even decided on a new mixer yet, though I'm looking at the Yamaha 01V and 03D. Both of these support AES/EBU digital I/O cards which I think would work great with the Capy! I've never gigged with a computer onstage before. Any tips? (Besides "don't drop it"! )

I'm using the Capybara live w/ a PB G3 and a PC-1600x.

I tend to have three or four "environments" ready to load. I'm generating midi events in custom max patches. I haven't done much live signal processing •yet• but plan on bringing along some very lo-fi sound sources to transmogrify. Sadly, none of the performances have been taped.

Kyma is a monster !

I wonder if anyone else is using alt control live, with this thing?

I use an 03D, a G3 Lombard laptop, an Eventide Orville, Kyma and Logic Audio as my live setup. Logic controlls the levels and surround panning in the 03D and routes/processes messages from my physical controllers (Peavey 1600, Motormix, PG1000, etc) to the Kyma and to the Eventide.
Having surround panning in my mixer enables me to pan OTHER sources, like the signals of other people who are playing with me, or signals that are NOT going through the Kyma. Personally, I have not used the internal panning inside Kyma very much yet. The only real reason for this is that I already have surround panning in the 03D. I send 4 channels out of the Kyma into the 03D and pann from there.

I do use the Kyma live onstage from time to time (wish I got out more...). The only problem I have ever had was that I was not allowed to carry the Capy onboard an airplane, and it was NOT in a properly padded case, and the trasport on the airlines shook something loose in the Capy. I got to the gig and the Capy didn't function. It was fixed in short order, though.

My very late input on this subject.
