ROM Garden created string and env files into Morph1dGrainCloud with spheric quad panner example.

  The Sound uses CapytalkToSound, which helps synchronize control signals with audio recordings (for installations or collaborations where a Paca is unavailable). To export our control signal in parallel with audio, we can use SelectableAudioOutput after a CapytalkToSound. Changing SelectableAudioOutput to any channel between 3-8 (not the stereo file), will allow us to save both the audio file of sound and an audio file of our control signal.   Read More

Made, with help from the pro´s, to keep the low end in mono. Utility

"Concat A Folder" Sound takes a folder of audio files and concatenates them all into one long audio file. This is a batch process, and happens out of real time. This will work for folders with stereo or mono files, but you will need the samplerate to match.   Read More

While playing around with mic inputs and live sounds I found I wanted to keep trying different routings of my signals. What would it be like if I routed the mic through the reverb before the cross filter? Is it better after? Etc. So I made this routing matrix inspired by the plug-board patching matrices on some old synths like the EMS. Anything with an output can be routed to anything with an input. Consequently the sound is crisscrossed with connections like a plate of angular spaghetti and there's a lot of  MemoryWriters to allow patching of outputs into sounds which occur earlier in the kyma flow diagram. There may be a much better / easier way of doing this - let me know if there is! Update: I've added a second version of the sound where you can set the signal levels at each point in the matrix.   Read More

Alternating left/right envelope with morphing envelope shape.

An example of how elegant Kyma can be (inspired by one of the slides in Charlie Norton's talk at KISS2016). This simple effect will continually granulate any sample using a simple function shared between its parameters. See the source to study how I did it. www.neverenginelabs.com Sound Design for Kyma 7 Designed by Cristian Vogel. Run Any positive value here will reset and run the sample from the top until the granulation point and also reset/run the granulator. Should be a Toggle in the VCS or some kind of sustained value. MaxGrains Amount of replications. 4 is already quite dense! Seperation A positive value which defines a seperation paramater, adding more and more difference to the voices. StartPoint if 0 is the start of the sample and 1 is the end, this is the point in the sample where the granulating random walk will begin. Scale The overall level of the output Seed A value between 0 and 1 which defines the pseudo random generator for this instance. Sample Any sample filename. Stereo is best!   Read More

Happy New Year 2016 from NeverEngineLabs. This simple sound is taken from the SpectralLab suite and generates noisy textures from a  looping sample. It demonstrates how to build an Array of independent random walks and adds it to a synthetic spectrum which controls the amps and frequencies of a 32 partial filterbank. Also demonstrates correct embedded VCS layouts. Come and see what we're up to ! http://www.neverenginelabs.com   Read More

Pasiphae  is a retrograde irregular satellite of Jupiter. It was discovered in 1908 by Philibert Jacques Melotte and later named after the mythological Pasiphaë, wife of Minos and mother of the Minotaur from Greek legend.

The files are first in a two-part series for working with CSV files inside of Kyma. This file deals with reading single-column CSV files (no delimiter) in Kyma and mapping them onto five parameters of sound (pitch, amplitude, timbre, location, duration).   Read More

A pair of synthesizers built around Kyma's wavetable oscillator.  The included wavetable was created by manually re-synthesizing various waveforms in a PPG Waveterm A and then playing back with a PPG Wave 2.2.  One of the synths is a dual-oscillator performance instrument with a typical signal path - not unlike that on a PPG Wave.  The other is built around a sequencer.   Read More

Examples that can be played on the LinnStrument (or other expressive controller).  Includes Sounds for switching on/off the LinnStrument LEDs and a Tool that switches cells on and off according to Conway's Game of Life rules.   Read More

A smalltalk based kyma batch sound which  batch processes an entire folder full of single cycle waves and converts/interpolates them to 4096. Will be exchanged for a much nicer version when i am back in the studio.   Read More

Change the fftsize and/or the overlap in the script and the Sound takes care of the delay and the numbers of FFTs you need for the specified overlap. Insert desired processing between fft and inv fft... Enjoy!   Read More

When the amplitude envelope of an audio signal starts decaying, this generates a trigger that can be used to trigger another Sound in Kyma or output as a MIDI event. At the same time, the maximum value of the amplitude envelope is used for setting the amplitude of the Kyma Sound or the MIDI event (velocity).   Read More

A pair of wavesequencing-based synthesizers that recall the waveseqeuncer section of the Korg Wavestation, Turbosynth, etc.  I've included a large sample collection of my own for your use, license-free and you can, of course, add your own samples.   Read More

These Sounds are the basis of what I use to introduce Kyma and teach introductory, undergraduate synthesis at St. Cloud State University in my Digital Sound, Synthesis and Composition course. Some are built from the ground up, others conveniently arrived just perfect in the Teaching Demonstrations folder of Kyma, and most fit somewhere along the continuum between those two options. I am slowly annotating the Sounds and creating a uniform VCS look, and welcome suggestions for improvement in these areas as well as for additional or complementary Sounds.   Read More

A wave shaping sound. Follows the Amp Envelope of one sample and maps it to another using the new Kyma 7 BiDi signal follower.     Read More

You can load a fixed patch into the Capybara to provide physical audio inputs and outputs with optional processing for the Pacarana virtual audio inputs and outputs. For example, you could have your Capybara acting as an EQ or reverb on the I/O of the Pacarana. More information can be found here.   Read More
