The Kyma Language for Sound Design, Version 4.5

Virtual Control Surface
The axes of the spectrum are linear frequency
and dB magnitude. Magnitude and frequency of
the mouse location is displayed in upper right.
Explanatory text comes from
Annotation Sound.
Spectrum and Waveform
come from SpectrumAnalyzer-
Display and Oscilloscope-
Display Sounds or by choosing
Spectrum analyzer or Oscilloscope
from the Info menu.
All other controls come from
Event Values in the Sound (for
instance, !Amp or !Reset). If a
MIDI device is mapped to the
Event Value, it can be controlled
through MIDI or by manipulating
the graphic control.
Event values can be displayed
as faders, small faders, gates, or
toggles.
For faders, use mouse to move,
or enter text in box and press
Enter. Tab cycles through entries.
This is an example of a gate.
Global and Local Maps
!EventValue is: `EventSource.

The axes of the oscilloscope are time and
amplitude. The amplitude of the mouse
location is displayed in upper right.
Vertical zoom in/out
This is an example of a toggle.
Use EventValue as the name of EventSource.
!EventValue is: (`EventSource channel: 2).
Specify that EventSource comes from MIDI
channel 2. The channel must be between 1 and
16. If this option is omitted, the default MIDI
channel will be used.
!EventValue is: (`EventSource min: 100 max: 500). Scale the (0,1) range of EventSource to
(100,500).
!EventValue is: (`EventSource min: 0 max: 10 grid: 2). Constrain the allowable values of EventSource
to multiples of 2 between 0 and 10.
!EventValue is: (`EventSource taper: #log).
Map the (0,1) range of EventSource with a
log taper. Either #log or #linear can be used.
If this option is omitted, #linear will be used.
!EventValue is: (`EventSource displayAs: #smallFader). Show EventValue as a small fader in the virtual
control surface. The possible display types are
#fader, #smallFader, #gate, #toggle, or
#nothing. If this option is omitted, #fader will
be used.
!EventValue is:
(`EventSource
channel: 2;
min: 100 max: 500 grid: 0.1;
taper: #log;
displayAs: #smallFader).
See Sources of Event Values on page 473 for a list of allowable event sources.
Combine any of the above by separating them
with a semicolon.
