However, I would also like to add a per-step switch for individually detaching each step from incoming keyboard control, while still retaining the four-octave pitch control currently in place. Each sample is set to middle-C where applicable, so it shouldn't be that difficult. This would allow me to, say, play the keyboard to determine the pitch of the melodic samples, while having the option of not affecting the pitch percussive or atonal sounds. Does that make any sense at all? Am I barking up the wrong tree or missing something embarrassingly obvious? (probably!).

It's too big to attach because of the many samples in the folder. Here's a link to what I have so far: http://www.theelectronicgarden.com/Scot/WaveState.zip

{(!PWP1 + (!Pitched * !KeyNumber)) rounded nn}

obviously you'd have to do this for each step in the pitches array but I'm sure if it's a repeating pattern you could generate this algorythmically.

I just wonder if somewhere in your collection you have the following.

I have been looking for a set of string samples that have a fast attack but also with some length some length.
Nearly all samples have either a slow attach (legato) or (spic) i.e. fast attach but with no length.

What I'm looking for are samples where the string player gets the bow moving quite fast before touching the string, comes down quite hard on the string, but then continuing to the end of the bow (may be slowing down on the way). This way I can try out string arrangements that have some fast moving parts that stand out rather than being buried (inaudable) behind the long notes.

Thanks

That extra bit was added by my son who understands this sort of thing far more than I do, even if he doesn't speak "Kyma" (yet!). He put that in so that the samples (which were all sampled at middle C) would stay at their original pitch unless changed by the !PWP hot value. There is probably a far smarter way to do it than that, but what the heck, it worked.

I've still got some work to do (I will have to abandon my desire to use two oscillators since it is already a huge VCS layout), but when I get it done, I will upload it. Thanks to you, Sean, and my son, I actually have exactly the instrument I was wanting to construct. That's a good feeling!

It was only if you had some, I wouldn't go to a lot of trouble, but thanks for looking.
