Symbolic Sound | Capybara 320 |
|
Description | Capybara-320 Sound Computation Engine is a multi-processor hardware accelerator for the award-winning Kyma software sound design environment. Based on the Motorola DSP-56309 chip running at 80 MHz, the Capybara 320 base unit provides a minimum of four DSPs (expandable to 28) with multi-channel I/O, synchronization to external clocks, and 96 MB of sample RAM (expandable to 672 Mb) in a low-noise, rack-mountable package connected to a desktop or laptop Macintosh or Windows PC. This gives you 5 to 8 times more real time processing power than was previously possible. That translates into more polyphony, higher sampling rates, more I/O channels, denser textures, and more computationally intensive algorithms such as full-blown spectral analysis and additive resynthesis, all performed in real time. Sound designers for music, games, film, and advertising have been using the Kyma software environment (commercially available since 1991) to design unique sound synthesis and processing algorithms that they can then fine-tune or perform in real time using the Capybara hardware accelerator (without having to rely upon the memory or processing resources of the host computer for sound generation.) Hardware Specifications: Basic Configuration 4 Motorola 56309 DSPs 96 MB sample RAM 12 expansion slots I/O and external sync (see below) External desktop or rackmount case (protects the DSPs and converters from the electrically noisy environment inside your personal computer, and leaves valuable slot-space free to use for other cards on your host computer) Expansion Card 2 Motorola 56309 DSPs 48 MB sample RAM (per card) Up to 12 cards can be added Inputs and Outputs 4-8 channels 32-96 kHz sample rate 24-bit Balanced Analog & Digital (AES/EBU) External Synchronization Word Clock input House Sync input VITC & LTC Timecode input and output Interface options Requires only a single slot on your host computer (all 12 expansion slots are on the Capybara itself) PCI PC(MCIA) to laptop machines ISA or NuBus for older machines A Firewire interface was later designed as an option |

| Velocity | As with a piano, the harder you hit a key, the louder the sound, unlike most organs which always produce the same loudness no matter how hard you hit a key. | Aftertouch | Pressing a key after you activated it. Channel Aftertouch, no matter which key, it will send a Channel message. Poly Aftertouch, sends the pressure per key instead of the whole channel. |
| Values for OSC, LFO, Filter, Envelope are per voice unless stated otherwise. | |||
