Kyma sound and video examples on the Symbolic Sound page are good, but only really just begin to touch on what the system is truly capable of doing. |

You tell me that /after/ I buy a Mac |
Actually I must admit I have become Macified again.
Years ago I used Apple computers starting on an Apple II, then Mac SE but sort of finished with a Mac IIfx which was a cracking machine that I worked on for a while with Lightspeed C. I remember it was lightning fast.
But then the pull of Windows and Unix work opportunities dragged me away.
Now I use VMWare fusion for running a variety of other operating systems and have been back on Apple machines for nearly three years and I must admit I prefer OS X to windows now, especially for audio stuff it just seems more stable to me even though cpu usage seems higher under OS X than XP.
Not that all is good though, Finder pisses me off and I still find myself thinking "how can I do this in Finder?" after three bloody years.
After a couple of years you get used to having only one main menu which is an absolute pain in multi monitor setups, I wish Apple would change this.
Good luck with your new Mac

Well I just got to the part in the Manual/Tutorial where it says "At this point you will probably run out of DSP Power", when I looked at the DSP percentages the Pacarana was using 5% of total, so the paca would be at 10%.
How times change. |

Nice sounds !
Yes, I will get a Paca and upgrade to a Pacarana within a year I think. That will be the way to go for me. |

So these were not put through any processing? Sounds like the ocean sample is? |

It is all very heavily processed, I went for heavy cpu intensive sounds to see what the DSP load was.
I have just cached the sounds (basically pre render to disk, like a freeze, so basically sample play from disk) and played the timeline which now shows around 1% which is what it shows at idle.
Just playing samples looks like it is free really. |

Bob, what do you think of the Kyma compared to the G2? |

What I'd love to know is what the import duties came to! I have tried to work out how much it will cost to import a Paca into the UK, but no luck yet. The UK customs site is a maze! The extra duties seem quite arbitrary from what I read on other forums.
Also, I swear I read somewhere that the Paca/rana can be used in standalone mode, without a computer, but I might have dreamt it... If so how would this work? _________________ Muied Lumens Sub Forum

You cannot use the paca/rana without a computer. It uses Kyma X. |

0% import duty as it is classified as a computer, but you have to pay VAT on it and import charges by UPS for sorting it all out for you.
I Paid £467.54 on Import VAT for a Pacarana. |

I think this thread is misnamed. it should be split somewhere and given a more appropriate name. Would you do it? _________________ homepage - blog - forum - youtube
