In 1984, Kurt Hebel and Lippold Haken, at the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign, designed and built the 'Platypus', a digital signal processor for realtime audio. Carla Scaletti wrote the software. She called it Kyma.
In 1987, Apple Computer gave Scaletti a grant to design a graphical interface for Kyma. In 1989, Hebel designed the Capybara to replace the Platypus. In 1990, Scaletti and Hebel formed Symbolic Sound Corporation to market the Kyma System as a professional audio generating and processing system.
