Bulk Generation of KBS Sessions or Audio with SpectaStrobe

I have a Python script that generates 22 sessions for each frequency 8, 7, 6, 5, and 4 Hz for a total of 110 sessions. Its set up to either create 22 separate text files per frequency or combine all 22 sessions into one text file per frequency. Since creating just 5 sessions manually in the KBS editor takes about 30 minutes, I'm wondering if there's a way to bulk-create these sessions either using the KBS editor itself or some other software that can generate MP3 or WAV files with the spectrastrobe embedded?

Example of session parameters:

Budzynski 8 Hz Session 1
Total Time: 4851s (80.8 min)


Color: R93% G86% B100%
L&R Pitch: 155Hz


Waveform Settings for all segments:
SndWF: Sine
SndModWF: Sine
LgtModWF: Sine
L AMDpth: 50%
S AMDpth: 60%


Beat Line:
14.52 13.53 12.49 11.49 10.41 9.46 8.41 7.58 8.14 7.24 8.49 8.64 7.23 8.21 8.55 8.36 8.42 8.30 8.19 7.99
8.14 8.05 7.90 8.07 7.98 7.74 8.07 8.15 7.97 7.82 8.14 8.31 8.18 8.03 8.12 8.03 7.83 7.65 8.04


Segment Durations:
122 128 125 127 127 118 118 132 118 130 121 128 132 121 123 133 127 120 118 125
121 128 129 127 116 128 121 120 133 131 123 115 134 132 115 117 123 131 114



Time at 8.0 Hz: 2345s (39 min) (48.3%)

Have you already made these sessions?

I've been working on this project for about a month and a half now. It started when I was talking with an AI about progressive muscle relaxation (PMR), box breathing, and the Kasina system. I discovered that my problems with reaching deep trance states were due to habituation—a key factor—and I hadn’t been entraining to the Alpha frequency over the long term.

As I explored different facets of AVS mechanisms through ongoing discussions, I gradually began developing protocols. I first started with 5 sessions per frequency 1 session to use over a full week. Later, based on AI input suggesting 10 sessions might be more effective, I decided to go even further and create 22. Back then, each session had fewer segments, so I could generate around 5 sessions in 15 minutes.

A few weeks ago, I decided to follow Budzynski’s protocol as closely as possible. Joe told me that one of the original sessions the AI gave me already aligned with Budzynski’s model. So I restructured my sessions and started creating new ones based on that format. At this point, I estimate I’m about 50% done with the updated content.

The problem now is that each time I realize there’s room for improvement, I need to recreate all 110 sessions. It takes a lot of time to do this manually, which is why I’d like to find a way to generate these sessions in batch to speed up the process.

I'm not sure why, but a bunch of question mark icons appeared in the beat and time segments when I copied the output into this site's text window while writing the comment.

I?ve edited my original post to clear up any confusion those question marks made it seem like I wasn?t confident about the sessions, when in reality I?ve been steadily creating manually and entraining to them.

That said, if there?s a way to generate these kinds of sessions in batches, it would definitely make it easier to adjust the overall protocol parameters when needed.

This forum is pretty old. It replaces non-ascii characters with "?". Even your reply has some, whenever you use a single apostrophe it looks like... My guess is that your keyboard is putting out "matching" quotes (angled) or something non-ascii.
Don't sweat it, I often go back and fix it manually.

There might be a way to convert your session info to the proper KBS format, I'd have to look into it. Can your python script create a CSV table?

Yes, now it can create TXT as well as CSV.
See attached zip with TXT and CSV in case they are needed.

Somehow I can't not see the attached zip file, in case it's not present. here is a download link.

Earlier today, I developed new session protocols based on the Theta-Gamma sequence in preparation for completing the 6 Hz entrainment cycle in about 2.5 months. I don’t know if the CSV file creation will be done through the KBS editor, but it seems Python generated sessions with 250 segments. Do you know the maximum number of segments the KBS editor can handle?

If a bulk import is going to be possible, you'll need modify your program to output the following:
1. Only write Ascii text. You have Unicode in there that's going to mess up any importer. (see image in link)
2. Make one CSV per session
3. Make the CSV so it has columns that match the columns in the Editor, with one row per Segment

"If a bulk import is going to be possible, you'll need modify your program to output the following"

I think I have pulled it off. I was curious and tried to run in with KBS but I was unsuccessful.
