They are MPE Compatible, and I had fun using the Seaboard Keyboard thing when I had a chance. Did you take the plunge already? I was thinking of trying one!
I would just like to say a massive thanks to everyone for trekking to Ealing for Kyma Day! It was so great to see so many friendly faces again and just as fantastic to welcome new people into the mix. I have at least one apology to make as I had not spotted one return email stuck in my outbox to an interested party until very late last night.
I do hope you all had fun and got something out of it because I really enjoyed myself!
Do we think we should harness momentum and book ourselves one or two dates in advance? If we plotted an events for:
- Mid February: Book two surround rooms, run simultaneous experiments? Less talking/waffling from me; more patching/programming/making sounds for you.
- After Easter: NeverEngineLabs Special? Two day immersive brain re-wire. Would need to be ticketed.
- Early/Mid Summer: Pre KISS Warm up, practice run, tests, and generally make ready?
Just ideas, but would be great to make 2017 : ‘The year of the sound‘.
Thanks again to all the participants, especially those who got very early to make it!!

Hey Simon,
We are still on! Still working on the agenda, suggestions welcome. I don’t have funding for this event, but I am working on something for the new year. I was once involved with a rapid composing project, we could perhaps aim to create some art rather than just procrastinate?
I keep meaning to spend some time exploring multichannel in Kyma.
Perhaps we could create a wormhole? Fun!
Official title of this event: Nerd Out and Fry Up.
Just to clarify further to a recent conversation: “UK Kyma Users”
Kyma Users = People who own, abuse, and lust after, or have just a vague notional idea of Kyma (and indeed conscripts and press ganged attendance),
UK = People who happen to be in the UK on the day in question.
These events are open to all and sundry. Get in touch!
I officially declare Shenanigans:
Please find below confirmation of your room booking request:
Date: Saturday 03-12-2016
Time: 10:00 am – 6:00 pm
Room: BY.01.007- Teaching Studio (Pacarana, RS8000 modular, PMC Surround Sound)

10.15 : Getting Started in Kyma with limited time. Charlie
11:00 : Coffee + Cake @ Munsons
11:30 : Guest Speaker 1

The Rub: Whilst we neatly slipped between the cracks last time, I will need to open this event up to our students, and as I would really like to book some guest speakers, hopefully offering some form of expenses: we may have to make this a paying event. I would try to sculpt at least some tea/coffee into the deal if that was the case. It will be a nominal contribution hopefully.
Guest Speakers: Christian, Gustav, Pete, Malcom, Roland, Knut, ALL of you KISS presenters, indeed if any of the Kyma community have an idea for an interesting presentation do get in touch.
As I got so much out of the previous event, and of course KISS 2016, I can’t see how this won’t be really good fun.Onwards and Upwards
