Hi, just got my Kyma/Paca hooked up (what a breeze!):

Mac Pro Nehalem/10.5.8
2x GT 120 display cards (per Apple Store config options) driving 2x Apple 24" LED displays.

When I drag any Kyma window over to second display the window gets filled with noise (think Photoshop's 'Noise' filter fx). Dragging back to main monitor (that which has menu bars) the noise goes away? Screenshot upon request.

Any one else see this and/or is there a 'trick' to using Kyma in dual monitor set ups or ?

Thanks in advance ;-)

Hi LoopyC,

Just out of curiosity, is the window spanning the two monitors (partly on one monitor, partly on the other)?

For a quick temporary workaround, it might help to click the green expand button and then click it again to replot the window.

Could you please email a screenshot to symsound@symbolicsound.com? Thanks!

First of all, sorry! I meant to post this in the 'Support' section and not here in the FAQ...all the requests for my name and password must have thrown me off so feel free to move it.

I will get you some screen shot shortly, as to the 'expand' trick yes I did try several variations but it only partially 're-plotted' correctly, I will show those in the sc's I send as well. It will be a little while (but sometime today) as I have another project running.

UPDATE:

Sending screenshots now and btw, the 'expand' trick does indeed work, must not have tried it before as I thought (I must have been doing 'minimize' and back only).

Hi, I have come across the same problem. Resizing the windows does the trick, though.

Ableton Live had this and it was solved in an incremental upgrade back to 6.x times.

Funny thing is, I had a problem with Toast and it's 'progress' window that is ONLY solved by putting it on the second monitor!

Hopefully this (the Kyma) issue will get resolved sometime, it does present a somewhat stumbling workflow having to 'rebuild' the window. Of course at the moment I just started getting kernel panics (getPhysicalSegment, out of 32b range) so minor annoyances like windows are the least of my concerns for the moment lol!

Please allow me to come back on this issue which I must live with too.
I now run kyma (ex XP user) with a mac pro 8 cores, nehalem. OSX snow leopard. Screens use are DELL and packard Bell. 4 screens in all : kyma has to be run within the main central screen, otherwise if I drag some windows to the other screens, it renders noise as described above and sometimes even contaminates the noise within windows actually sitting on the central screen that normally should not be 'infected'.

Hi,
I've got the same problem for the second screen, some noise appears on the windows of the right screen...
I'm working on PC, Xp SP3.
