For Kyma, get a the cheapest laptop you can find with a FireWire port. 
Portability issue solved.

One way to avoid tracking problems with MIDI guitar is to use your true 
guitar sound as the source "waveform", fed into an effects processor that 
takes MIDI continuous controller messages or a synth with audio input 
(e.g. 
MIDI note number controls LFO speed, MIDI velocity controls delay time... 
or 
MIDI note number controls chorus width and MIDI velocity controls synth 
envelope parameters... or... you get the idea).  Result: NO tracking 
problems because that's your real guitar sound you're hearing, processed 
by 
synth or effects unit.
