The Kyma Language for Sound Design, Version 4.5

Help and Information
For on-line help on a class of Sound modules, select a module of that type, and choose Describe sound
from the Info menu. This gives you a description of how a module of this type behaves and provides a
description of each of the module’s parameters. These are the characteristics shared by all Sounds of this
type.
Get info (Ctrl+I) from the Info menu provides information on one particular instances of that type of
module. It lists the values assigned to each of the Sound’s parameters, the names of any inputs, the memory
and computational resources it requires, and its duration. These are the parameters of one particular
Sound.
Both Describe sound and Get info work on any Sound, not just on the Sounds in the prototypes palette.
Editing the Signal Flow Diagram
You use the signal flow diagram in the upper half of the Sound editor to connect the different synthesis
and processing modules in your sound design.
The signal flow diagram lets you:
♦ insert a module between two other modules
♦ replace a module with a different module
♦ delete a module from the middle of a chain of modules
♦ add or remove modules to Sounds that can use multiple inputs
♦ listen to the audio signal at any point in the signal flow
♦ change the name of a module
Insert
To insert a new module B between two other modules C and A, drag B into the Sound editor, and drop it
onto the line between the two modules C and A
