The Kyma Language for Sound Design, Version 4.5

Note that if you decide to switch the GenericSource from reading a sample to reading the live input, remember
that you may have your external synthesizer plugged into the Capybara’s audio inputs. If so,
you will have to unplug at least one of the inputs and replace it with the output of the microphone preamplifier.
You should also edit external MIDI device and set the right or left check boxes so you will hear
only the external synthesizer and not the microphone input.
Tracking Frequency
Find a sustaining, less percussive patch on your synthesizer and try playing pch to MIDI (> 3F). It starts
out by controlling a sine wave oscillator with the fundamental frequency of the input. To listen to the external
MIDI synthesizer, bring the !OscilOrMIDI fader all the way down to zero. This example is
designed for tracking inputs whose fundamental pitch is third octave F or higher. Next try Pch to MIDI
(>2F). This is set up to track inputs whose fundamental pitch is 2 F or higher.
In the virtual control surface, you can adjust !High and !Low to the highest and lowest MIDI note numbers
you expect in the input, so you can modify either of these Sounds to track the frequency of different
samples or of the live input.
The technique behind these two Sounds is likely to change by the time of the next release, so it does not
make sense to describe it in too much detail now. In the meantime, though, these may be useful Sounds if
you ever have need to track the pitch of live inputs or recorded samples.
