SYMBOLIC SOUND KYMA X DOWNLOAD FREE

In Kyma, there is really no distinction between a Sound and its placement in time. The waveform generators, which were primitive in Kyma X, have been drastically upgraded so that they can be made with Fourier, polynomial, impulse response tools. Now, these layers have been thankfully stripped and the relevant Sound is easily accessed. You can write tiny or large applications using the Capytalk language. Use MIDI pitch-bend to scrub. The video for this area is truly stunning and inspirational.

The Sound Editor is really the heart of Kyma. The number of tracks is unlimited; to create a new one, simply drag a Sound into an empty area. The second best feature is the sweet spot between having the highest level software language possible, consistent with the greatest variety and flexibility in producing sounds, processors, and controls.

It was also rather cumbersome to build instruments, since one had to do this from scratch.

It contains another video and user guide showing how to search for Sounds. Or roll the dice and take a random walk through timbre space. After performing the user-friendly download procedure and following the step-by-step instructions, I was up and running. I have used souns feature considerably. Perhaps the most eound and startling new feature, in the Multigrid, is the vertical equivalent of the horizontal Timeline.

You can type in constant values or use MIDI faders or other audio modules as controllers. You can also record your Virtual Control Surface and MIDI fader moves, or extract a frequency or amplitude envelope from an audio signal and use it as a controller. This embedding can be turned on and off at will, and one can seamlessly click between them. Use the default layout for the Virtual Control Surface or edit the symbolid graphically to change the positioning, type, range, or name of an on-screen control.

However, as with the Tau and Morphing concepts, when the Spectrum Editor goes a step further and works with single pitch-specific Sounds, I find this to be too tedious, particularly since most of my Sound material symbo,ic not pitch-specific, or has a large content of inharmonic partials.

In Kyma X when the Timeline became long and complex, the layer menu became overloaded with hundreds of Sounds and Sound layers from which one had to wound the one Sound being worked on. Kyma-X is smart, and Kyma-X can listen.

Should you be feeling jaded at the thought of yet another me-too soft synth, Kyma-X provides the ultimate high-end antidote. This capability is truly magical and unprecedented. Parameter automation Use the Controller editor at the bottom of the timeline to draw time-varying parameters for sounds in the timeline. But this is just the beginning. These are fixed and cannot be altered, but can be copied and edited.

Every kind of electroacoustic technique or instrument that I have ever seen is accessible through the huge inventory of ready-made instruments, which can then be combined with controllers added to achieve higher orders of sophistication.

The individual Sound is actually part of the Timeline, and to edit it is a simple matter of opening it up from that Timeline or Multigrid, which is explained later onmaking the edit, closing the edit window, and resuming the work. Kyma achieves the kind of flexibility and breadth heretofore only available from lower-level languages like Csound, but without the tedium. Use the timeline to spatialize tracks or individual sounds within the tracks.

In Kyma, there is really no distinction between a Sound and soubd placement in time. This kind of Kyma-Fu takes advanced skills, so you won't be doing it immediately.

Rather, they are instructions for activating whatever Sounds are present vertically at the cursor point. Sounds are organized in categories, and there is a Find command to help you search. This window also provides a parameter description of the frequency field, including how it is used, and suggests possibilities for a given effect. In terms of that power, Kyma-X is way, way beyond anything else you can buy.

As you move the mouse over these categories, a different ethereal ghost-like Sound emanates from each category, providing one of many such delights as one progresses through the program. Taken together these two help areas alone are akin to having a tutor at your disposal as you try to figure things out. Kyma 7 is not a routine upgrade but a brand-new program with its own set of samples, Prototypes, Sound Libraryin d, a full set of features completely independent of Kyma X, which can exist on the same computer as Kyma 7.

This all adds to the price, and detracts from convenience.
