I have ordered a Kyma Paca and will be controlling it via Max. Can I do that using USB directly from a MacBook Pro? My setup includes acoustic audio via the RME fireface that is not supported by symbolic sound which means that I will be using a second firewire audio device exclusively for the Paca. I'm just wondering if it would work to send the controller data directly from Max to the Paca via USB rather than routing it out through the RME and back into the second firewire device that is dedicated to the Paca.

OSC ... ethernet ... 32 bits ... forget the rest.

I regularly use the ethernet port for networking with other colleagues but using it for communicating with the Paca is also an option. And can I also see the Kyma editing software while using USB or ethernet? Thanks.

the network connection is totally independent from connecting the paca to the host via firewire.

the pacas networking is as auto-configuring as on a mac oder windows PC - plug and play.

the only thing what might cause some work is probably that you have you switch to DHCP

on your mac when you also connect to the internet (i.e. when you use a router.)

if and how OSC is recognized in your ksnd is a matter of how you implement it.

with one exception: somewhere on tweaky there is a midi-over-OSC externals for max,

which (i think, i dont use midi) the same as sending "normal" midi into the kyma sound.

but like i said, forget midi and use OSC options as they are. :)
