I don't know how the rest of you Kyma users operate but I generally place a disk recorder at the end of my sound chain to make a record of my efforts. At the moment I have to either use my crappy built in sound card to paly back or load the file into a disk player, start that up etc etc.
My question is would it be possible for the tape recorder tool to be modified to include a playback option ?

Cheers,

Gareth

You could use Play from the File menu. That will let you choose any digital recording, spectral analysis, or MIDI file for immediate playback.

Hmm. No indication of how long the piece has been running and no transport controls. The tape recorder tool has nearly everything apart from the ability to import a file.

You can pull a recorded sound from the sound browser to any sound file window which turns it into a generic source. If you want more visual you can instead drag to a timeline window. Of course, that gives you start time flexibility. You can also drag the recorded sound from the browser to the sample file field in a number of sound modules. If the sound is not real big you could set up a sample sound type and some controls for the start and end points. Maybe even throw in a Numeric Display with a moving slider that shows the % of file played.

SSC: Isn't there a way to make your own tools? I remember downloading a group of tools from somewhere that someone had made for teaching purposes. Does this require smalltalk coding?

Yes, the Developers' Kit includes an option for creating new Tools using Smalltalk (or, more accurately, a graphical editor and a set of Smalltalk methods that we've written for this purpose). Since Kyma.5 came out, much of this functionality has been taken over the Virtual Control Surface.
