Symbolic Sound Corporation has expanded the real-time sound-computing power of its Paca(rana) sound engine by making it possible for Kyma sound designers to chain two or more multiprocessor Paca(rana)s together, via the built-in A/B Expansion ports.

To the Kyma software, a network of Paca(rana)s appears as a single sound computation engine with multiple processors. Kyma automatically detects the number of available processors and schedules the execution of DSP-intensive signal processing and synthesis algorithms across multiple processors.

"One of the most frequently asked questions we were asked when we announced the new Paca and Pacarana sound engines back in January was 'Is it expandable?'" recalls Symbolic Sound president Carla Scaletti. "Now we can answer with an unequivocal, YES!"
