it's basically a 30-band EQ with a global adjustment for bandwidth of the 30 bands. the 2 greatest features of Periscope, however, are its ability to completely cut bands (db range goes from something like + 24 to -infinity)... and, the fact that it has a real-time spectral analyzer built in, so you can see where your input frequencies are and where you may want to cut/boost.

i was interested in building a similar EQ using Kyma. kyma's UI won't be up to the task of a real time spectral analyzer superimposed on the EQ controls itself, but it probably would be up to the task of very narrow EQ bands that can completely cut a frequency.

any tips or advice of how to go about this before i actually start would be appreciated.. especially from those of you who may also have Periscope, so you know more of what i'm trying to get at.

i guess my search is over .. that's exactly what i was looking for...

although, admitedly, it's a shame that the challenge is gone for me!

Kyma Sound Library>New for Kyma 5.20>New Filterbank
the Sound called Filiterbank as EQ

is there a way to take such a sound and have these bands be sent down different paths for individual processing?
