The Kyma Language for Sound Design, Version 4.5

MultifileDiskPlayer
Sampling Category
This is similar to DiskPlayer except that you specify an array of disk file names rather than a single disk
file name.
The value of Index determines which file will play on the next retrigger. (An index of 0 chooses the first
file in the array, an index of 1 chooses the second, etc.) Only one disk file will play at any one time, but
the choice of file can be made in real time. (To get more than one disk file to play simultaneously, feed
this Sound into a MIDIVoice and set the desired polyphony).
You can use a single Rate for all disk files, or make Rate a function of the Index if you want different files
to play at different rates.
The MultiFileDiskPlayer can be used whenever you need real-time random access to several different
disk recordings through a keyboard or MIDI controller. For example, it can be used to choose from a set
of live sound effects and synchronize them by hand to a film, to create a disk-based sampler with a
different sample for every key on the keyboard, to perform a composition made up of several, long disk
recordings, or (if the trigger is linked to the FrequencyTracker or EnvelopeFollower) as a synchronizable
"tape part" that responds to a live performer.
FileNames
List each of the file names that could be triggered, enclosing each of them within single quotes. The
Index corresponds to the placement of the filename in this field. In other words, an index of 0 selects the
first filename in the field, and index of 1 selects the second filename, etc.
RateScale
This is the rate of playback. For example, use 1 to play back at the original rate, 0.5 for half speed, 2 for
twice as fast, etc.
Trigger
When the Trigger becomes nonzero, one event 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)
!cc64 (trigger when controller 64 > 0)
You can also paste another signal into this field, and events will be triggered every time that signal
changes from zero to a positive value. (See the manual for a complete description of hot parameters,
Event Values, and the Global map files).
Gated
NOT IMPLEMENTED YET.
Index
This is an integer that selects which of the disk files should be played when the next trigger is received.
An index of 0 selects the first file. If the index is less than 0, it selects the 0th file (the first file in the list).
If the index is larger than the length of the file list, it selects the last file in the list.
