I'm trying out sounds with scripts and am failing at what seems like the simplest of hurdles; maybe someone can help me with the syntax? (I have been following examples in Kyma X revealed).

For example, I understand that in:

| r |

r := Random newForKymaWithSeed: 1413.
10 timesRepeat: [
res start: 0 s freq: (r next * 50 + 20) hz]

res would be referring to the res sound upstream from the initial script.

but how is it possible to refer to another sound which is further upstream, i.e. further to the left?

I have been trying for example (with a named variable):

| r |

r := Random newForKymaWithSeed: 1413.
10 timesRepeat: [
res start: 0 s freq: (r next * 50 + 20) hz]

sample start: 0 s loopEnd: (r next / 1000)


OR the following with a named hot variable:

| r |

r := Random newForKymaWithSeed: 1413.
10 timesRepeat: [
res start: 0 s freq: (r next * 50 + 20) hz]

self controller: !LoopEnd setTo: (r next / 1000) atTime: 0 s.

but I just can't get the syntax right.

Any help very welcome.

After some further trials I discovered that a script referencing a particular sound has to be immediately behind that sound.

Am I right in that or is there another way to access all sounds from the right most script?

Anyway this little sound turned out to be quite nice:

If you ctrl+drag a copy of that upstream Sound into the Inputs field of the Script, then you can refer to it by name in your script. (Make sure the name follows the usual variable-naming conventions, e.g. starts with a lower case letter).

You're too good! In the time it took me to type an answer you had already figured out the problem!

Working example!

So nice to have little breakthroughs

Also included is a Live 7 set which drives the Kyma sound.
Produces some glitchy (when loop end is reduced for example) / arpeggiated sounds.
