If you haven’t visited the Kyma Discord Community recently, you may want to take a look (select Discord from the Help menu in Kyma). Here are just a few of the announcements you may have missed:
• Rick Stevenson posted examples from his new RdSP — a polyphonic sample player he created that uses his Rungler to select and schedule from a pool of samples — available for download from the Kyma Community Library. Here’s one of the excerpts Rick posted as an example:
• Anne La Berge announced the release of the new album that she recorded with Tom Hamilton in January 2020 with overdubs by Suzana Lașcu in 2024.
• Lots of questions and answers in the new-to-kyma forum (reminders & refreshers for experienced Kyma users as well as quick answers for those who are just getting started on their Kyma explorations). If you run into a question, just select Discord from the Help menu to get an answer from the community of sound designers and developers.
• Rio Roye posted a clip of himself playing Ben Phenix’s cloud index divisor tool with 12 cloud indexes dividing the same high frequency pulse train.
• There was a discussion of how to create sequencers (and a reference to Bart McLean’s tutorials in Insights magazine
• Samuel Sacher invited everyone to share the titles of their favorite books on sound (in the palaver forum).
And much more! If you ever have a question or just feel like chatting with a fellow Kyma sound designer, the (international) Kyma Community is always just one menu selection away. (Alternatively you can install the Discord app on your mobile device and set up alerts so you always know what’s happening).
See you there!
