I created a new empty project and used just a default simple piano to test it. Maybe it's my setup. Since i updated to Yosemite i have some trouble. Logic is very slow and i have cpu spikes when i not close all UI's from my plugins. Also it seems that it works for others. So it must be my fault somewhere. Will give it some trys tomorrow. Thank you for answering!

Thanks for the question. Yes, we can work something out for you. Send me an email.

Here here! While I'm always up for a "how close are we to vintage analog?" synths, this, and tools like it, are really what's exciting now in instruments...

...All the really interesting stuff is happening in software. It has to. I don't think a hardware version of Kaleidoscope would have a big enough market to be successful considering it would have to have at the very least a iPad style touch-screen to make it really usable and that would sky-rocket the cost.

Thanks guys!

We try to do our best to push the envelope, that's for sure!

We have lots on things planed for Kaleidoscope.

I own B2 and I am interested in the preset expansions. I can I use my purchase of Ks towards that instead of Aether?

EDIT: Woops, had to link the recource library

Andrew Souter · Post by **Andrew Souter** » Thu Jan 22, 2015 12:11 am

To get sound you need to:

0) Load Kaleidoscope -- it is found under effects NOT instruments.
1) Make sure Demo is still active if using Demo
2) Link to the Resource Library
3) Load a preset. You should see an image in the image display area, NOT a completely black area.
4) Feed KS some input signal, or set white to 200% and lock.
5) Start playback in host (if Phase Lock is set to "To Host" as is the default -- if set to "Internal" the clock will be free-running, always on)

Does this help?

That fixed it thanks! For some reason it has alot of crackling issues in Bitwig even when I turn up the buffer size but it works just fine in Reaper. For my purposes I will likely just render stuff in Reaper then drag the stems into Bitwig. I will file a bug report to the Bitwig devs though.

IMO, this plugin really starts to shine when you tweak the pitch and textures out of it yourself to go along with your source material. The second I started doing that I saw the massive potential for sound design.

This thing is awe inspiring

Thanks man!

Feed it into B2 or Aether and you'll get lost for weeks or months or more.

We'll do some more exploring with Bitwig and see what we find. We like Bitwig and these guys seem very forward thinking like us, so we'll be sure to make it play perfectly with Bitwig...

Cool, can't wait to try it.

many more demo sounds added:

https://soundcloud.com/2caudio/sets/2ca ... leidoscope

all the "generative" ones are entirely KS and nothing else using the built in white noise generator to synthesize new content. (typically these would then have verb etc added to them, but provide here just dry direct out of KS for demonstrative purposes...)

many more to be added still...

ha... not sure if I should be happy that SC is looking out for my Galbanum content, or pissed that it blocked me from uploading a really cool drum loop example!! Odd.

Im having some issues with renders in Reaper not sounding like they were when I was playing over MIDI. It does a similar thing when I hit the record button to record some MIDI on my keyboard, the sound becomes nothing like it was before.

From what I can tell that is not a demo limitation. I have the host dictating time signature and BPM and I also tried with Kaleidoscope dictating it. I tried Offline 1x render, Offline full speed, Online render, etc all seems to do the same thing.

I will try and see if I get the same behavior in both Bitwig and Reaper on my Mac.

Really want to record some clips
