Question (or Task)

I was wondering whether anyone could offer me some advice as to which Kyma sounds/methods are best suited to the exploration of microsounds and digital failiure (glitches). I realise that almost any sound can be 'mashed up' but I would really appreciate any tips from more experienced Kyma users working within a similar area. I'm currently exploring the Sound Library and any pointers would be useful!

Solution(s)

Some useful starting points can be found in:

• A Sound file called embraceTheArtifact that you can download from the Control and Modulation category of the Sounds page of the Share section:

• • Download embraceTheArtifact

• A Sound called Glitchy ambience from iterated waveshaper
  • See the Kyma Sound Library / Synthesis-Backgrounds & Pads / Distortion synthesis.kym /

• Several Sounds in Kyma Sound Library / December 04 Kyma X.1 Examples / Oscillator Formant Examples.kym including:

• • clicks to tones (try presets)
  • stereo panned Chaos Cliques
  • emergent click world (quad)
  • crispy clicky
  • exploding mice

etc...

In the Prototypes, some modules to explore are the Oscillator + Duty Cycle (with extremely small Duty Cycle and Frequency), the PulseTrain, FunctionGenerator or the Constant, fed through the IteratedWaveshaperDistortion or others in the "Distortion & Waveshaping" category.
