"a preview of one of the machines that will be in my ReFill coming out in May. Mashup your Rex loops live on the fly without having to put them into the sequencer. i'm very excited about this. Get into it you horny little ravers!"

You see the VCO configuration, where you can select one or more of the 6 basic waveforms, which are mixed on the output, select the sub oscillators of VCO1/2, the noise mode (icons not yet designed), the ring modulator mode (icons also not yet designed) and the sync/pitch tracking settings. Besides sync on/off, you can also select the sync source, which doesn't just handle sync between VCOs, but also sync to external sources, noise, the ring modulator and a digital signal from the CPU, if i get this implemented with the performance i have. Synchronization can be configured to trigger when the source is less than or more than a specific signal voltage level, while the level can also be configured in those screens.
The touch screen driver is not yet optimized, usability with finger input might get improved, and there are lots of other screens to be implemented. This is just a small peek at how everything might look when completed.
The whole GUI and hardware drivers are written in C++ and runs on an ATmega168 clocked with the internal 8MHz oscillator currently."
"My first Kyma X patch for the Pacarana. Kyma is unreal and let's you do almost anything in Sound Design. I took a concept of a didgeridoo patch on my modular and built it back in Kyma but with even more expression. This is still a work in progress.
The touchplate is a Snyderphonics MANTA. I spent some time coding some algorithms in MAX to enhance the performance control of the patch using velocity, aftertouch and polyphonic aftertouch + controls using OSC to Kyma.
The Manta is a fantastically wonderful controller. It shows it's flexibility and feel here.
The patch is microtonal meaning pitches are in divisions of the western concept of half and whole tones."
