Symbolic Sound Kyma Real-time Sound Design Demo with Convolution & Percussion
Channel: Spectral Evolver
Date: 2019-06-24

Sample based or with live input this convoluted sound will process the audio in realtime in the Kyma sound design environment. It's framework is based on a sound that can be downloaded at the link below (and that's where Kyma users should start if they don't have the sound already):

I've replaced the impulse responses in the original drumsFormer with IRs designed specifically for what sound designer Diego Stocco calls rhythmic convolution. More information and the IRs can be found here:

Moreover, I changed a few things in the drumsFormer to better accommodate the new IRs including the ability to scale the rate of playback of the impulse response which has a huge effect on the sound. 

Lastly, the sample I used for this video is by Cristian Vogel and it can be found in the Kyma 7 folder:

Also, here is a link to my performance at the ICMC 2018 in which I used this exact method and incorporated Playtron hooked up to flowers to activate and randomly select sounds as well as impulse responses:

Just to be sure, I'm not sponsored or paid by any of these good people. I am a fan and want to share what I think is an awesome sound and concept!

If you have specific questions about what I changed or anything else please feel free to get in touch.
