Kyma Control vs SGA Phoenix

Kyma Control is the Swiss-army-knife of controllers for the Kyma Sound Design Workstation, providing four of the most popular Kyma controller-modes in one, wireless multi-touch package: a bi-directional mirror of Kyma's Virtual Control Surface, a multi-touch pen/tablet controller, a standard and a Tonnetz keyboard, accelerometer controls, and compass heading for using direction as a control. For use in the studio, on stage, in the lab, at home, or in classroom, Kyma Control frees you from having to sit in front of your laptop; put yourself inside the sound field and perform your Sounds in an expressive, intuitive manner using your hands and gestures. FEATURES • Auto-mapping, bi-directional multi-touch mirroring of Kyma's Virtual Control Surface (VCS) • View and select the active Sounds in a Kyma Multigrid • Pen/tablet surface tracking as many as 11 fingers with color trails to help you track finger position • A keyboard for sending !KeyDown and either continuous or discrete values for !KeyPitch & !KeyTimbre • A Tonnetz pitch-space with configurable vertical and horizontal intervals • Pitches can be rounded to equal tempered pitch, rounded only on !KeyDown and continuously variable after that, or, in Strum-mode, triggered when your finger passes by the key • Trigger or control Sounds with the iPad's accelerometer measurements in the X, Y, Z directions, as well as controls corresponding with Pitch, Roll and Yaw • Compass heading from the iPad's magnetometer tells you which way the iPad is pointing so you can use it for panning and other controls REQUIREMENTS • iPad, iOS 8 or newer • Symbolic Sound Kyma 7 (or newer) with Paca(rana) Sound Computation Engine • WiFi or Ethernet connection to network accessible to the Paca(rana)

SGA Phoenix brings the authentic sound of five analog preamps to your AUv3 compatible host. Each preamp derives its unique sonic character from a different active element (12AX7, 12AT7, and 12AU7 triodes, and J201 and 2N5457 JFET transistors). To achieve the most authentic analog sound, each preamp circuit is simulated in real time using Shattered Glass Audio’s state-of-the-art circuit simulator. Use Phoenix to add color, warmth, dirt, depth, and vibe to your mixes and masters or as a saturation compressor. Key features: - Authentic analog sound through real-time high-performance circuit simulation. - Three preamps featuring triodes 12AX7, 12AT7, and 12AU7. - Two preamps featuring JFET transistors J201, 2N5457. - Multiple types of EQs. - EQ can be taken out of the signal path or placed either before or after the preamp. - Auto Gain - Automatic 4x oversampling to control aliasing - Wet/Dry mixing. Phoenix is primarily an AUv3 effect. To use Phoenix as a plug-in, you will need an AUv3 compatible host such as Garageband, AUM, etc. Phoenix application is there to provide a user manual and a chance to use Phoenix with the microphone input. You can try Phoenix on a macOS or a Windows based, machine by downloading the demo version of the plug-in (VST3, AUv2, AAX) from our website https://www.shatteredglassaudio.com and running it in a DAW of your choice. Sonically speaking there are no differences between the iOS and macOS/Windows versions of Phoenix.
