This is the Sound file that accompanies Bart's Kyma Tutorials C: Generating Patterns Outside the StepSequencer.  

Split a mono source into a pseudo-stereo signal where the center is filtered one way and the periphery is filtered in a complementary way.

This is the Sound file that accompanies Bart's Kyma Tutorial B, the StepSequencer.

This is the Sound file that accompanies Bart's Kyma Tutorial A. That tutorial was developed to try to bring help to those who are trying to grapple with some basic concepts of how to put Sounds together.    Read More

The team at the Rhythmic Computation Lab of NeverEngine Labs have developed an advanced morphing rhythmic computer that brings much needed feel and groove to Euclidean and non-Euclidean beat computation. The Classes and Sounds for Kyma 7 are based on pioneering work concerning the geometry and mathematics of rhythm phrasing and groove by acclaimed Swiss Jazz pianist Malcolm Braff. Malcolm and NeverEngineer Gustav Scholda co-developed a custom Class and visualiser tool exclusively for Kyma 7 which is now available to all subscribers of the RC Lab, as well as a number of examples. I still can't attach a screenshot to my uploads at the Q&A - hopefully SSC will fix that soon! But here you can see the VCS of a 4 voice drum computer that uses four Professor Braff RC v1.7 to compute the groove and phrasing of four percussive samples. I designed a VCS with lots of colour, and alongside the Braff Visualiser tool, there's a strong personality emerging from this machine. The morph fader and its related smoothing (in beats) allows you to move smoothly betweem the top and the bottom sequence of durations - they represent warped durations in beats, of a phrase that adjusts itself continuosly to the variables of the phrase sequence. Its a brand new approach, similar but far from conventional step sequencing - the best way to get a feel for how to program this machine is to work with the visualiser tool open, and see the beat geometry transforming. The Sound is also special because it pioneers an amazing approach that Gustav came up with exploring the mysterious 'MultiplexableSoundToGlobalController' in the Kyma 7 prototypes. Using this technique, one set of widgets controls all four sequencers. The selector switches at the top will 'flip pages' - it's really the first I have ever seen such an easy to use GUI for multiple sequencers in Kyma. Not forgeting to mention the amazing beats coming out (click here to hear)! Also, completely unique - I have never heard such morphing, grooving rhythms from any software or hardware. Once again, many thanks to Malcolm Braff and our very own master NeverEngineer Gustav Scholda for bringing the freshest beat machines exclusively to Kyma 7.   Read post here   Read More

About NeverEngine Labs™ …study Kyma by ear and by example from a growing library of original content …get inspired by the high quality of what you see and hear …pick up advanced techniques in Capytalk,  VCS design and performance possibilities …socialise with fellow Kyma practictioners NeverEngine Labs is a creative commercial initiative for Kyma users at all levels. These virtual “Labs” can be subscribed to on a monthly or annual basis, each focusing on developing different areas of the Kyma universe, in an open workshop style environment. This is achieved using a powerful team devlopment tool called 'Slack' and a file sharing system called 'Dropbox'. The Labs aim to foster creative ideas for music composition and sound design in Kyma Seven, and to help users get more perspectives on what this powerful system is capable of. Many of the Kyma designs, and indeed the Labs themselves, are not intended to be fixed in their function  (like plug-ins or presets are). As a subscriber, you are encouraged to deconstruct and recombine  the Sounds and their inner elements and use what you learn in your own work. Don’t expect to get it all straight away! You will find no instruction manuals, but instead our live communication channels dedicated to discussion around the content of each Lab and regular file updates with brief notes. All in all, subscribing to a NeverEngine Lab means less conventional study,  open expectations and a lot of listening, curiosity and company  ( by the way – its also ok to enjoy the Sounds on your own, at your own pace! ) As mentioned above, a subscription entitles you to access all the NeverEngine Labs Slack channels. Slack is a free and powerful tool for communication: everything in one place, instantly searchable, available wherever you go. Cristian Vogel, the founder of NeverEngine Labs, co-developer Gustav Scholda and other participants will  be reachable there all the time. You are invited to discuss anything related to the Labs or your own work and to contribute ideas, sounds and more in a lively and fast changing environment. Certainly a valuable resource to have, alongside the official Kyma Q&A forums.   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

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

I offer professional Kyma coaching, consulting and sound design services. My studio is based in Copenhagen and I have a decade of experience in Kyma at an expert level. I have worked closely with Symbolic Sound over the past two years on testing Kyma Seven, and can provide detailed advice on the new environment. I would be happy to travel for a consulting workshop but equally I enjoy one-to-one mentoring and consulting for composers and sound designers at all levels. I have recently led workshops in composition and Kyma at the Berlin University of the Arts, Jyderup Højskole  and The Danish Institute of Electronic Music Don't hesitate to contact me to discuss your needs. Some recent recommendations: "Been a fan of Cristian's work since day one. His works have always been forward thinking, unique and cutting edge. His works have an impeccable attention to detail, and I have always loved his versatility as a sound designer/electronic musician" - Richard Devine "Cristian is a gifted artist, mentor, and thinker! During our many enjoyable conversations together, his insights inspired new conceptual dimensions for the work. He has an unusual capacity for patience and attention to nuance. Unexpectedly, he developed for my project a custom suite of editing tools on the Kyma platform that grew out of our talks, evolving into an intuitive sound generation environment that has become central to my production process. For Cristian's enthusiasm and inspiration  I am grateful!" - Banrei "For KISS2009, Cristian created a symposium atmosphere that was both creative and cohesive. He provided ample opportunity for both formal and informal discussion, and he personally saw to it that each participant felt welcome. As a result, many professional connections were forged during this highly successful event." - Carla Scaletti President of Symbolic Sound Corporation.   Read More

An example of a self-playing Multigrid.  By checking each track's Algorithmic Controls (and then clicking the label), you can use Capytalk to generate the index of the active Sound and when it should be triggered.  In this example, each Track switches active Sounds at a different rate (all related to the !BPM value).   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

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.  

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
