Info menu: Describe sound<br />

Describe sound opens a help window with a description of the selected <strong>Sound</strong>’s class and its parameters.<br />

Info menu: Structure as text<br />

Structure as text opens a window containing a textual representation of the <strong>Sound</strong> structure. Each <strong>Sound</strong><br />

is represented by the name of the <strong>Sound</strong> followed by a list of its inputs’ names enclosed in parentheses.<br />

Below each <strong>Sound</strong>, each of its inputs is listed in the same manner but indented. <strong>The</strong> level of indenting<br />

indicates the number of levels between the <strong>Sound</strong> and the final output <strong>Sound</strong>.<br />

Info menu: Full wave<strong>for</strong>m<br />

To see a graphic representation of the selected <strong>Sound</strong> as amplitude versus time, select Full wave<strong>for</strong>m.<br />

<strong>The</strong> Capybara will play the <strong>Sound</strong>, recording it into the Capybara’s sample memory. If the <strong>Sound</strong>’s total<br />

duration is too long to fit into memory, <strong>Kyma</strong> will ask you to specify the length of time that you would<br />

like to plot. After per<strong>for</strong>ming the recording, <strong>Kyma</strong> reads the wave<strong>for</strong>m out of the memory and displays it<br />

in a newly opened window. Also displayed are the minimum and maximum amplitudes <strong>for</strong> that <strong>Sound</strong>.<br />
