After giving all those personal details about my setup I thought I might add the toothpaste parametre because you never know with computers they can be easily jinxed, remember the SCSI problems of yesteryear?

Actually there was an article in the news awhile back about how bad certain toothpastes are for the environment, so there were a few very expensive toothpastes that were ecologically friendly and one budget brand that made the grade, guess which one I use!

So now you use Kaleidopaste?

That might be cool, sort of like multicoloured toothpaste but with a sonic twist, but judging by the sound examples prolonged use could result in some seriously over modulated molars.

I've just double checked I'm Hijacking audio output from a Host called Numerology 4 Pro version 4.1 build 147.5 I'm using a recently updated version of Audio Hijack Pro 2.11.4, Kaleidoscope version 1.1.0 [A37a]AVX, My hardware is a iMac mid 2011 3.1 Ghz i5 processor with 12 Gb ram.. My OS is Yosemite 10.10.2 and my toothpaste is ecologically friendly.

The Gui of Kaleidoscope and B2 work as normal. On a side note if I want synced audio I have input the BPM manually on the timing pane in Kaleidoscope as Audio Hijack doesn't seem to have an input for sync data. just to the right of the period window, there is an down arrow when clícked on it allows you to set the Kaleidoscope to internal sync which I enable for using it with Audio Hijack Pro.

OK - well this must be something new for Audio Hijack 3 which is the demo i'm running. Otherwise amazing app that i'm destined to purchase but such an annoying issue.
Don't upgrade it!

I didn't realise there was a version 3 out, I had just updated it recently, thanks for the warning!

Regarding Compression of KS sources: I find Waves V-Comp works quite nicely after KS material...

V-comp can really be punished while still sounding pretty clean and musical...

For live instrument stuff like Simon's performances, this might be a good thing to try:

turn off the KS "limiter".
put a V-Comp after KS instead.
Put a limiter after that as an extra check.

File this in "tips and tricks"

...to add to that, e.g. in that e-bow video I should have put a limiter/comp on the raw guitar track itself before it even reached KS (there was only a PRO-L post KS), then at some points the ebow was getting too close to the hot spot/the main pickups which causes serious level bumps, these are then amplified by the KS resonances and that just sounds shrreeeeek.

I notice that Twotoneshuzz says he is running KS version 1.1.0. Is there an update I'm unaware of, or was that perhaps a typo? I know there was a cpu-friendly optimization of strings coming along sometime soon; is that it? Don't see how to download it, though I do have blind spots...

typo. there is no 1.1.0.

We have a 1.0.1 internally. I will release it shortly. Maybe tonight. No one else has it yet.

Three multisampled singing bowls (MachFive 3) processed with Kaleidoscope using a waveform tuning file extracted from a waterphone gong, some Aether on a Bus. Music for peanut butter ads:

Sorry about the typo!

Yes I meant 1.0.0

Thanks for the clarification, Andrew and Mr. TwoTones!

Aether on a Bus, Simon? Easy does it on that, you might miss your stop. Badabum... I think I need more coffee...

Yeah, met Aether on a Bus, we had some coffee later on, nice chat, but she was married and so am I.

Something rather beautiful- I extracted a kaleidoscoped e-bow phrase from that video impro above (glad I also recorded the audio separately) and granulated that in HALion 5, laying out a big chord with octaves and fifths, added some B2 (on a Buss) and voila:

Sounds very interesting!

One thing i don't like from a business point of view.

A purchase from Europe,in my case from Germany,i would need to pay in Dollar and Paypal is getting a horrendous convert fee and it will add a whopping 19% Vat too?
And i need to create an account and push "pay with Paypal" only to find out what the actual price is?
