Hello Everyone/SSC, I just installed 2 more DSP expansion cards (3 total) to my Capybara 320. Giving me a total of 10 DSP chips. I was wondering what the rest of you KYMA users out there have in your systems and (if you could) tell me why you need either more or less DSP. IP: Logged |

I have two cards, 8 DSP's. It is a significant improvement over the basic setup (in terms of how much you can do.) I'd have a couple more if I could afford it! IP: Logged |

I have total 16 DSP's (6 extra cards) in my 320, and I'm still lusting for plenty more. Many projects I work on are in 96KHz 5.1 surround, which eats up a lot of power. Also it's nice to be able to use several complex instruments at the same time, all together with high end reverbs. Regards, IP: Logged |

I worked with the Capybara 320 basic set up for a while before getting one more card, bringing me to a total of six chips. This was an improvement as I was now able to do some of the things that I wasn't able to do using just the four. However my life changed significantly when I purchased another four cards just before christmas, giving me a total of fourteen chips. Now, for me, the system makes more sense. I can layer ideas in the timeline and (at the moment) I don't run into processing problems. (Before I was having to cut down on oscillators, grains, etc or work with disk cache.) Robert IP: Logged |

i have one extra card.. for a total of 6 processors. i bought this recently because i was getting too many OUT OF REAL TIME errors... and am getting, obviously, less, with the extra card. i have plans on getting more cards, but only as my knowledge of kyma grows and dictates. i've owned the system for almost a year and still feel like a complete beginner..

Don't feel alone. I feel like an absolute beginner as well. Sure, I've made some cool SFX, but mostly by stumbling on something cool and endlessly tweaking presets. (But that's usually how I learn software anyway!) However, with KYMA, I've learned that what you put into it is what you get out of it and I'm REALLY trying to use my free time to start seriously again with it. IP: Logged |

I'm not really productive with Kyma at this moment, it is just that I don't intuitively understand how things should be used and how they work. I think it would be a good motivation (and fun) to start of a beginner cooperative project here on this forum. Just start with a timeline and see how it turn out with everyones influences.

Amen. You know I'm just using my KYMA right now just trying to understand the various prototypes and their variables and not touching the Timeline at all. I know that ULTIMATELY I will be using the Timeline very much but I need to understand the very foundation of KYMA "Sounds" before I start automating various parameters. I actually bought my KYMA once the Timeline was introduced (or shortly thereafter....) because it was the one thing that I thought that was missing in the package. Right now, KYMA is a lot deeper than I have anticipated and I need to exponentially increase my time learning and experimenting with it. Like I said before(above), I believe that we will all benefit greatly from being active in THIS forum (by asking SSC/eachother) questions and sharing tips & techniques. It's great to know that I am indeed NOT alone in my quest for mastery of this limitless creative sound tool. Hopefully, when the much rumoured KYMA X is complete, SSC will be able to start production on that DVD tutorial that was mentioned on this forum. IP: Logged |

Hello there all! My first post, I've just discovered this forum even though we have been using Kyma for 5 years now! 4 expansion cards here (12 dsps). If I had 28 dsps though, it wouln't be too hard to get the error message "you have exceeded the limit of real-time control" (vocoded of course) ....it's a bit like..."no matter how big your purse is...there's always more stuff to put in it"!

I don't spend my full time on Kyma, ( I have other gear and other duties ) but it's a bit more difficult for me since english isn't my native language....I have 3 versions of Kyma manuals here...the latter is Kyma X revealed obviously. So as I said in a previous post, I run 10 dsps and I wouldn't mind adding another 2...if some have one DSP card for sale, think about me IP: Logged |
