The Kyma Language for Sound Design, Version 4.5

Multisample
Sampling Category
This provides a quick way to select from a number of samples. The sample files are listed in the Samples
field, and the Index field is used to determine which sample file to play whenever the Gate changes to a
positive value.
Frequency
Use 0 hz here if you want the Frequency to equal the pitch of the recorded sample. The frequency can
be specified in units of pitch or frequency. Different frequencies are obtained by changing the size of the
increment through the recorded sample. The following are all ways to specify the A above middle C:
440 hz (in hertz or cycles per second)
4 a (as the 4th octave A)
69 nn (as a MIDI notenumber)
4 c + 9 nn (as 9 half steps above middle C)
1.0 / 0.00227273 s (inverse of a period at 44.1 kHz sample rate)
The following are examples of how to control the frequency using MIDI, the virtual control surface, or a
third-party program:
!Pitch (key number plus pitch bend)
!KeyNumber nn (MIDI notenumber)
4 c + (!Frequency * 9 nn) (continuous controller from 4 c to 4 a)
Gate
Enter a 1 in this field to play the Sound exactly once for the duration you have specified in the Duration
field.
If you use an EventValue (for example, !KeyDown) in this field, the Sound can be retriggered as often as
you like within the duration specified in the Duration field.
When Gate becomes positive, the Sound is heard; when Gate becomes zero, the Sound is released. If
the sample file has loop points stored in its header, Kyma will loop the sample for as long as Gate
remains positive (so, for example, as long as the MIDI key is held down).
Samples
Takes a list of samples file names, each within single quotes.
Index
An expression whose value is the index into the list of filenames: 0 selects the first file in the list, 1 the
second, and so on.
AttackTime
Duration of the attack of an envelope applied to the sample.
ReleaseTime
Duration of the release of an envelope applied to the sample.
