sampleInfo:
once again i am asking if there is a way to get the exact time of a loaded sample so that i could compute the !BPM which the sample is in???????
vcs: it takes very long time to change between layouts. although this is the only way to handle complex layouts it is a little bit to slow for using it convenient (G3/400Mhz laptop)
presets:is it possible to call presets via midi? or to edit presets in a text-file?
alea:is it possible to call presets via midi?
thx a lllot!

Shift-click on floppy disk button in the Sample (or other Sound that is playing the recording). Then, type in " bpm" after the duration listed, select the expression, and press Control+Y.

For example, if it said 2.0 s for the duration, you would type and then highlight "2.0 s bpm". Kyma would then answer with 30 bpm.


It is not yet possible to call presets by MIDI or edit the preset in a text editor, but both are on our list.

yes very nice!!!!!
can you think of an script that would do this for me and pass the bpm number to the vcs ?

this would help very much in using different samples and get the apropriate nice easy and fast.

Hummm. Say that I have a sample file named strobe3.aif located in C:\Kyma.5. This script will compute the length (in seconds).

| sF |

sF := (SamplesFile for: 'C:\Kyma.5\strobe3.aif' ifAbsent: nil).

(sF sampleFrames) / (sF sampleRate).

Now I should be able to put the above into a Constant to access the length in a Signal Flow or put it into a SoundToGlobalController to display the sample length on the VCS.

Disclaimer: I don't have my Capybara in front of me so I haven't checked this.
