I am working on a sound installation in a botanical garden. We want to relay the micro sounds of the many wonderful plants in one particular greenhouse to a sound installation. Any help is much appreciated! Thanks IP: Logged |

Could you say a little more about what you intend to do? By relay, do you mean to just amplify the audio and send it to speakers? IP: Logged |

Ah yes sorry not clear- probably because I'm not sure! I want to interpret the electrical impulses into sound (perhaps midi). This aspect is the least clear for me. IP: Logged |

What is the output of the sensor? Voltage? Are you asking if Kyma can accept control voltage or DC inputs? If you use a MOTU audio interface, I believe you can accept sub-audio rate voltage inputs. IP: Logged |

I'm not sure yet what that output would be. I guess what I'm asking could be framed more generally. When these type of projects come up...e.g-contemporary dance with infra-red sensing motion and being converted to the score, music that comes from motion that is, the go to system seems to be Max most of the time. But can Kyma be in this central role instead? Sorry I'm speaking slightly from ignorance! IP: Logged |

i think max is the way to go simply because it seems arduino is the way to go? yes motu would be an option too, and you would save a piece of hardware(arduino) if you have a motu , but if not..max/pd/processing IP: Logged |

Patrik- yes I think an arduino connected to some kind of galvanic sensor is the way to go. So here is my question: Can Kyma work with arduinos? IP: Logged |

Yes any sensor, InfusionSystems iCubX for instance wirelessly into Max or Arduino(also can be wireless with XBee or Bluetooth or WiiFi now) and the OSC to Kyma - works very very well. I am using biosensors on dancers and generating the score in realtime from the biosignals like this and have no problems - it is fast and clean, and of course Kyma sounds fantastic :-) IP: Logged |

Thanks for the iCubeX link- very useful indeed. Andrew IP: Logged |
