i am new to kyma and discovering a few oddities as I make my way through the manual and I am wondering if anyone else has noticed these minor troublesome items.

I am using kyma 5.2 on a mac single 867

1) I seem to be missing a few files:

a) default midi map - in my global map file I only have the pc 1600 and the kyma 5 global map - is the latter the default map renamed for 5.2. should I be looking else where for it?

b) it seems the duration field has been eliminated in a number of prototypes as has the dynamic range category of prototypes. Are these new changes for 5.2?

c) when using the find command in kyma is their a way to tell kyma to only search in kyma folders? when I tried searching for my mia default map kyma looked in every file folder on both my hard drives.

2 during start up my capybara always outputs a short burst of inharmonic audio. the audio sounds like an fm wave with a narrow bpf. centered around 2k. does this happen to anyone else? On this subject is their a way to attenuate/ calibrate the outputs of the capy without having to insert an attenuation prototype in every sound- my analogue outputs are extremely hot - I have the line in on my promix o1 padded down 20 db, my line trims are as low as they can go and my input signal is still verging on clipping with many prototypes outputting +9 to + 12 db.

thanks

The kyma5globalmap is probably the right one - that's what I'm using.

Durations were eliminated in 5.0.

Open a new browser at the top level that you want the "find" command to look in. You will find that "find" is extremely slow compared to a normal OS "find". I don't use it very much.

In "Preferences", click on "Performance" and you'll find a place to pad the outputs up to 15dB.
