vKiP for Kyma

Control Symbolic Sound’s Kyma X Paca, Pacarana or Capybara sound design system using your iPad!. Connect with MIDI or OSC!

Mac and PC users can enjoy the benefits of the Delora vKiP control surface app on the iPad. vKiP offers the choice of 3 methods to connect with Kyma:
* Wi-Fi OSC to Paca(rana)s or Delora Softwares KymaConnect and CapyLink MAC applications;
* USB MIDI through a compatible MIDI interface connected to the iPad; or
* network MIDI to any Mac running OSX 10.5 or later, or a Windows PC with CoreMIDI compatible network MIDI driver installed.

When using Wi-Fi OSC with Paca(rana)s, no other computer programs, drivers, or utilities are needed.

Conveniently arranged on one screen, vKiPs controls are optimized in size and layout for both landscape and portrait modes. Adjust sound parameters with faders and rotaries in normal and fine mode. Browse and load in Kyma sound snapshots, plus more! Untether yourself from the computer mouse and screen.

vKiP comes with 2 theme styles - Classic or Modern, to alter the look of the app. Change theme styles and other preferences using the iOS Settings app. vKiP has 3 "shortcut" buttons that control Kymas DSP when you use our KymaConnect OSX application. These buttons remotely stop/start DSP processing, or play/pause the current sound.


REQUIREMENTS

* iPad or iPad mini using iOS 5.1 or higher
* Symbolic Sound Kyma x.82 (or later) with Paca or Pacarana sound design engine running latest firmware
* Capybara sound engine can be used instead of a Paca or Pacarana provided ONE of these is true:
*** You have a Mac with bidirectional MIDI connection to the Capybara, and Mac is running Delora KymaConnect or CapyLink (see www.delora.com for information about KymaConnect);
*** You have a Mac with bidirectional MIDI connection to the Capybara, and you connect vKiP using network MIDI;
*** You are using a Windows PC that has a bidirectional MIDI connection to the Capybara, a CoreMIDI compatible network MIDI driver installed, and you connect vKiP using network MIDI (see the vKiP user manual on our website for more information);
*** You have an iPad compatible MIDI interface that connects bidirectionally to the Capybara, and you connect vKiP using regular MIDI
* Direct OSC connection to Paca or Pacarana requires Wi-Fi access between the iPad and the Paca or Pacarana. When using CapyLink, PacaConnect, or KymaConnect, your Mac running these applications must be connected to the same Wi-Fi network as your iPad. Network MIDI connections require that the Mac or PC connects to the same Wi-Fi network as your iPad.
