It’s not because the CPU <em>can’t</em> handle graphics processing. It’s because, when you offload the graphics computation onto a specialized, dedicated processor running in parallel with your CPU, you guarantee high-quality, glitch-free delivery of real-time graphics and (as a bonus) free up compute cycles and memory on your main computer for other tasks. The same is true for audio!</p> 259<p>An Audio Processing Unit (APU) delivers high quality, real-time audio that is reliable, sample-accurate, jitter-free, and highly responsive to controller interaction â while at the same time freeing up computing and memory resources on your computer that can be dedicated to other tasks.</p> 260<p>Because APU hardware is designed specifically for computing audio signals in real time, and because <em>all</em> of the APU’s computing cycles and memory are dedicated to computing sound, you donât have to cut corners or compromise the audio quality of your real-time sound synthesis and processing algorithms.</p> 261<blockquote class="ssc-sidebar"><p>…what seems to have happened is the software manufacturers (plugins etc) have scaled to fit the new CPU capabilities. The upshot is the CPU is still getting under load… Kyma is attractive because, being its own eco-system, it doesn’t suffer from CPU usage bloat in the same way and works reliably irrespective of what the computer is struggling with.</p> 262<div class="author">â Alan M Jackson, experimental musician / composer, moderator of the Kyma Kata and personal coach to game & film sound developers</div> 263</blockquote> 264<p>The question is <em>not</em> whether present-day CPUs are fast enough to do audio computation. But, no matter how fast the CPU, your audio algorithms have to be designed to run alongside an unknown number of other audio applications and plug-ins, not to mention all the <em>non</em>-audio apps and system tasks that are continuously running in the background on your main computer (things like web browsers, background file-indexing, drivers, and other system tasks). By shifting real-time audio computation to an APU designed for and dedicated to that task, not only can you improve the quality of your real-time audio signal processing algorithms, you can also free up memory and computing power on your main computer â resources that you can then use for handling other tasks.</p> 265<p>Audio Processing Units are part of the landscape of ubiquitous computing you see everywhere around you â there are GPUs running alongside every CPU, there are 25 to 50 processors in the average car, there is a processor in each audio interface, a processor in each MIDI keyboard or controller; there are server processors dedicated to doing nothing but encryption; there are processors fully dedicated to bitcoin-mining, not to mention the CPUs and GPUs in your phone, your gaming consoles, your watch and in your thermostat. It makes sense to distribute computational tasks across multiple processors rather than expecting a single general-purpose computer to do it all â especially in applications when real-time* performance is required.</p> 266<h3>Introducing the Pacamara Ristretto</h3> 267<blockquote class="ssc-sidebar"><p>With the Pacamara you have high quality, configurable, algorithms running on dedicated, uncontended hardware at sample rate with high (clock) accuracy.

Use the Kyma software to configure a Pacamara to function as an outboard sampler, as a synthesizer (including additive and aggregate synthesis patches that you won’t find anywhere else), as an outboard effects processor (including live spectral analysis and processing), or as an interactive sound-effects generator.</p> 293<p>But things really start to get interesting when you create combinations of all of the above; that’s when you know you’ve left “plug-in” territory and have started blazing your own trail into the unknown, developing new synthesis and processing algorithms. Using the graphical signal flow editor, it’s easy to create new sound processing and synthesis algorithms that no one has ever heard before.</p> 294<h4>Develop your signature sound</h4> 295<blockquote class="ssc-sidebar"><p>Having a palette of your own encapsulations to use means thatâ¦a team of sound designersâ¦could help a studio build its unique sound. It makes Kyma even more of a “secret advantage”.</p> 296<div class="author">â Alan M Jackson</div> 297</blockquote> 298<p>The flexibility and recombinant modularity of the Kyma environment gives you the freedom to create new sounds that have literally never been heard before. Save your new modules in your personal library so you can recombine them into new algorithms when you work on future projects. Over time, your copy of the Kyma sound design environment evolves to represent your signature sound â with unique acoustic qualities and your own exclusive sonic fingerprint.</p> 299<p>But Kyma is more than a simple graphical patch editor. With the Timeline or the Multigrid, you can create virtual synthesizer/processors that evolve over time. Imagine performing an instrument that can change its acoustic properties <em>and</em> the way it responds to your input over time or in response to the way you’re performing.</p> 300<h3>How do I integrate a Pacamara into my studio workflow?</h3> 301<p>When you connect the Pacamara’s USB-C port to a USB port on your Windows or macOS computer, the host computer sees the Pacamara as an audio and MIDI interface. So you can stream audio and MIDI between the Pacamara and audio apps running on your computer.</p> 302<p>This means you can do things like:</p> 303<ul> 304<li>Play Kyma through the host computerâs audio output device (or internal speaker)</li> 305<li>Process computer audio through Kyma effects</li> 306<li>Treat the Pacamara as an external audio effect through an External Audio Effect plug-in in your DAW</li> 307<li>Send MIDI events from your sequencer to the Pacamara to treat it as an external synthesizer</li> 308<li>Record Kyma outputs into a digital audio editor/recording application running on the host computer</li> 309<li>Capture algorithmically-generated MIDI output from Kyma in music notation software running on the host computer</li> 310<li>Capture a screen recording with audio from the Pacamara</li> 311<li>Send high quality stereo audio from Pacamara during a Zoom meeting with clients or collaborators</li> 312</ul> 313<p>and otherwise integrate the audio signals generated and processed through the Pacamara with any audio application running on your computer.</p> 314<p><a href="https://ssc-media.com/Pictures/Pacamara/Pacamara-Back-White-Labeled-USB-C.png"><img decoding="async" class="aligncenter size-full" src="https://ssc-media.com/Pictures/Pacamara/Pacamara-Back-White-Labeled-USB-C.png" width="4181" height="1288" /></a></p> 315<blockquote class="ssc-sidebar"><p>Kyma erases the boundaries between studio and stage, FX processor and instrument</p> 316<div class="author">â Scott Miller, composer-improviser-professor</div> 317</blockquote> 318<p>Alternatively, you can use a USB class compliant digital mixer as the audio interface for the Pacamara. If you connect the Pacamara Ristretto to that USB port, treating the digital mixer as the Pacamaraâs audio interface, the Pacamara can access the mixer and all other I/O through the USB interface and internal routing. In this configuration, the Pacamara can function as an 8 channel EFX workstation for the rest of the studio. Connecting any Pacamara USB to a Metric Haloâs SCP (satellite computer port), you can integrate all of your outboard gear (for example, a Buchla system and Kyma) in the MIO Console.</p> 319<h3>Are you part of a sound design team?</h3> 320<blockquote class="ssc-sidebar"><p>With [other audio software] and plugins you can get into all sorts of versioning and compatibility issues.

Use Capytalk (Kyma’s functional reactive control language) to define complex real-time mappings from combinations of controller values to sound parameter values.</p> 329<p><a href="https://kyma.symbolicsound.com/using-external-controllers-with-kyma/using-the-continuum-with-kyma/"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" class="aligncenter size-full" src="https://ssc-media.com/Pictures/Pacarana/Eagan%20Continuum.jpg" width="640" height="360" /></a></p> 330<h4>Live instrument and vocal processing</h4> 331<p>For low-latency, high quality, multi-channel audio input and output, connect the Pacamara to a class compliant USB audio interface or digital mixer.</p> 332<blockquote class="ssc-sidebar"><p>Kyma enabled me to augment the sonic possibilities of classical instruments and singers in a very convincing way.

Thereâs even a built-in stereo headphone jack for sound-checks and working in hotel rooms.</p> 341<h6>Don’t trust the venue Wi-Fi?</h6> 342<p>When you’re performing with wireless OSC controllers, use Pacamaraâs built-in Wi-Fi access point so you’re not at the whim of the shared wireless network in the venue.</p> 343<h6>Did you forget to pack your power supply?</h6> 344<blockquote class="ssc-sidebar"><p>I’m on vacation right now and it’s such a joy to sit with nothing but a Ristretto, a laptop and headphones and be able to work!</p> 345<div class="author">â Bruno Liberda, composer, performer</div> 346</blockquote> 347<p>If you forget your power supply, it’s not a show stopper. Any USB power supply (45 W or greater) will work; in a pinch, you can even borrow the supply from your laptop.</p> 348<p>Better yet, use a portable charger/power bank and the headphone jack to continue tweaking on the your way to the gig or to work in the airport during a long layover.</p> 349<p>With a portable power bank, you can commune with nature by working outside, or do your creative coding in the local coffee shop, while sipping your favorite <a href="https://www.coffeereview.com/big-bean-coffee-varieties-novelty-scarcity-and-atypical-sensory-pleasures/">pacamara</a>-based beverage.</p> 350<h3>Improvements over the previous generation</h3> 351<blockquote class="ssc-sidebar"><p>It’s the latest, most powerful, revision of the most important audio DSP environment of the last 30 years.</p> 352<div class="author">â Alan M Jackson</div> 353</blockquote> 354<p>The Pacamara Ristretto is 2.5 times more powerful and less than half (44%) the volume of the previous generation APU, meaning that the computational performance-by-volume has increased 5.7-fold.</p> 355<p>The Pacamara Ristretto name was inspired by a hybrid coffee plant bred to produce larger beans from smaller plants that can be planted closer together, and “ristretto”, an intensive shot of espresso that delivers twice the caffeine per unit volume.</p> 356<h3>Hardware that gets better with time</h3> 357<blockquote class="ssc-sidebar"><p>There’s a subtle and important difference between hardware that is upgradeable⦠and hardware that DOES get upgraded continuously and significantly. Kyma is Symbolic Sound’s only product and they’ve been working on it, passionately, for decades.

A Pacamara acquires significant new functionality over time through frequent software updates. The end result?

You like to work with digital modular environments but want to do complex sounds without creating hundreds of wires and modules. You want to mix control and audio rate processing in an easy way.
