The micromodular has no way to store formant values. The MM also 
cannot do "real" granular as it has only 2.65 ms's of delay memory 
and has no ability to perform "PV, TDHS, FFT, DCT"...    I haven't 
heard an acceptable granular patch on the modular yet.  I've also had 
a go at making a number of them with the limited resources available 
on one 56309.

I hate to say this (because I don't like reaktor), but reaktor will 
do granular and formants.   The biggest difference between a kyma 
user and those using max/msp or reaktor, is going to be sound quality 
(we can skip that the kyma has quite a lot more processing modules 
for now).   The kyma can do 672 bands of realtime vocoding.  A 800mhz 
G4 can't even come close to this at 24/96khz.

I guess in this case money is your friend.
