Kasina as USB interface switching off after 15 mins or so and prism plugin

[yentzee]

HI,
I have two questions. When hooked to my computer (Windows PC) Kasina shows up as a mme direc X device within ableton lives audiosetup and works great but switches off after 15 minutes and seems to go into some pause mode. Is there any way to change that?
A while ago there was a beta version of the cymatics somatics prism plugin to create encoded content using a daw. I would love to get a final version of the plugin but my email wasn't answered. Is this still under devlopment?
Cheers,
Jens

Hey Jens;

The Kasina's ?SD card should show up as an external drive, really nothing else.
I assume you've tried to reach cymatic somatics at https://www.cymaticsomatics.com/licensing#contact-us?

Thanks for your reply Andy.
I want to use the Kasina as USB Audiointerface as this way the beta vst plugin output is interpreted as spectrascope. If I run the audio out of my interface into the kasina aux in it detects audiostrobe instead.
Everything is workling fine but the kasina switches into some form of standby mode or so after 15 minutes of using it. It isn't a big problem i can restart and rechoose audiodrivers within ableton live but it would be great if it wouldn't switch off at all.

There are power management settings on the Kasina to set how long until the screen shuts off and how long until it powers down. It can be set to never shut off, but be careful using that when running on batteries! When on USB power, there's no issue.

Yeah, I’ve had the same thing happen with the Kasina, pretty sure it’s a power-saving feature kicking in. I ended up using a USB power hub and that seemed to help a bit, but I don’t think there’s a real setting to turn it off completely.

I haven’t found a way to disable it either, so I just keep sending a small signal every now and then to keep it active.

My suggestion didn't work?

Thanks a lot for your help.
I just found and tried the absolutely amazing Enkidu sessions and was completely engaged with this. Will go back to trying to do my own stuff next week and try the power settings.
By the way is there other content like the one from Enkidu?
Cheers,
Jens
