The Kyma Language for Sound Design, Version 4.5

♦ Icon Size in Sound Editor Fields controls the size of Sound icons in Input or other Sound fields.
♦ Show Full Path Names controls whether fields that display file names (for example, Sample) show
the entire file path or only the name of the file.
♦ Show All Digits in Double Floating Point Numbers controls whether double precision floating
point numbers are displayed with all twelve digits or with only six digits.
Performance…
The performance preferences control how Kyma should behave when compiling, loading and starting
Sounds.
Update Display during Disk Operations controls whether Kyma will allow editing and other forms of
user interaction when playing a Sound that uses the host computer’s hard disk (for example, DiskPlayer
or DiskRecorder).
Optimize Sample RAM Use controls how efficiently Kyma will use the Capybara sample RAM. If turned
off, the Kyma compiler will operate more quickly, but each sample file referenced will be loaded into all
Capybara expansion cards, possibly wasting sample RAM. If this option is turned on, the Kyma compiler
will load each sample file referenced into the Capybara expansion cards that use the sample.
Time Code frames / sec controls how Kyma interprets SMPTE times and durations (for example,
1:23:45.12 SMPTE) in the parameter fields of Sounds. (Use 30 fps for either 29.97 or 30 fps).
Virtual Control Surface controls whether the virtual control surface should be opened and brought into
view or left in its current state whenever a Sound is played.
