The Kyma Language for Sound Design, Version 4.5

MemoryWriter
Sampling Category
When Trigger becomes positive, records the Input into the wavetable memory of the signal processor for
the length of time specified in CaptureDuration.
Any Sounds that read wavetables can be used to play back this recording (for example,
FunctionGenerator, Sample, and others).
Input
The output of this Sound is recorded into the wavetable memory of the signal processor.
CaptureDuration
The length of time to record the Input. Enter 0 s if you want to record Input for its full duration.
Global
Click here to record the Input into the wavetable memory on all expansion cards (otherwise, it will be
recorded only into the memory of the expansion card on which the MemoryWriter happens to get
scheduled, and Kyma will be forced to schedule the playback Sound on that same card. If you make the
recording global, it is much easier for Kyma to schedule the playback Sounds, because it can schedule
them on any cards, knowing that the recording is available in the memory of all the cards.)
Cyclic
When Cyclic is selected, the MemoryWriter does a "looping" recording. In other words, it records for the
specified CaptureDuration; then, if Trigger is still positive, it wraps around to the beginning of the
recording and continues recording the Input, overwriting what it had previously recorded there.
RecordingName
Enter a name for the sample that you are recording into the wavetable memory. Use this same name in
the playback Sounds, so they can find the sample in the wavetable memory. Any Sound that reads from
the wavetable memory can also read the sample that you are writing into the memory with MemoryWriter.
Sounds like Sample and FunctionGenerator read arbitarily long tables, whereas Sounds like Oscillator
will use only the first 4096 entries of the named wavetable (only the first 4096 sample points).
Silent
Click here if you would like to record the Input silently, without also monitoring it at the same time.
Trigger
When the Trigger becomes nonzero, the recording is triggered. You can trigger several events over the
course of the total Duration of this program as long as the value of Trigger returns to zero before the next
trigger. Some example values for Trigger are:
1 (plays once with no retriggering)
0 (the sound is silent, never triggered)
!KeyDown (trigger on MIDI key down)
!F1 (trigger when MIDI switch > 0)
You can also paste another signal into this field, and events will be triggered every time that signal
changes from zero to a nonzero value. (See the manual for a complete description of hot parameters,
