Kyma 7.43f6 features new Capytalk, new Sounds, faster app-switching

The latest Kyma 7 software update introduces new Sounds and Capytalk expressions to enhance the versatility of file-based, time-indexed sound design, 130x faster app switching, and more!

Kyma 7.43f6, released 3 October 2024, delivers a 130x speed-up in inter-application switching on macOS and Windows computers — a dramatic performance boost to smooth out your workflow and enhance your productivity.

In addition to the speed-up, this update introduces two new Capytalk expressions for ramp functions with loop points, providing greater flexibility and control over live Sound parameters.

Two new Sounds — TimeIndexForSamples with a Frequency (rather than Rate) field to control the playback speed of a sample selected from a list of sample file names and TimeIndexForFileNames which can select from among multiple FileNames — enhance the versatility of file-based, time-indexed sound design (including samples, PSI analyses, spectral analyses, sampleClouds).

Check the Prototypes for examples using these new Sounds:

  • SampleWithTimeIndex !Frequency
  • SampleWithTimeIndex !Rate
  • MultiSampleWithTimeIndex !Rate
  • MultiSampleWithTimeIndex !KeyPitch
  • Non-harmonic MultiSpectrum with TimeIndex

Kyma 7.43f6 also includes a host of other improvements and feature requests, all designed to make your sound design experience ever more enjoyable.
