Little Question about ways of designing sounds; Kyma is made in ways that most of the time we involve some existing prototypes, basic building blocks we modifiy and agglomerate to form new sounds and so on.

I would be interested in making one particular 'sound' but it has to be all made by smalltalk80 scripting as it will involve the wacom graphic tablet...My goal is getting out from it a controller with distinct zones such as a virtual control pannel to play midi and sounds parameters.
My question consist in having your opinion and if some of you have already created sounds only by smalltalk scripting. Hence I would begin with just involving the 'Script' prototype. Also if there are particular limits when doing so ...
Thanks

One possibility is to use the Script to create CapyTalk expressions for your Sound parameters that depend on the X Y position on the Wacom tablet.

For example, to create a trigger or gate that is active only in the lower left quadrant of the tablet, you could use something like:

!PenDown gateWhen: ((!PenX lt: 0.5) * (!PenY lt: 0.5))

Thanks SCC, indeed I had this idea to include capytalk expressions within the smalltalk script (no way otherwise) . It's all a matter , first, to get more than familiar with smalltalk80 language (syntax). I'll also have to include some variables (?var) within it. Some regions of the tablet should be involved to control other sound parameters in a "crossX" manner (= sort of sticks) , whilst I also plan to 'cut' its surface in order to implement a virtual keyboard, maybe something very imilar to the continuum fingerboard. So it will also have to manage midi events
