Bulk Generation of KBS Sessions or Audio with SpectaStrobe

[Andy]

Sorry, to be clear, it's a new function I would have to add to the KBS editor. It's not able to import at the moment.

Looks much closer - can you make the CSV file Comma-separated rather than Tab-Separated?

can you make the CSV file Comma-separated rather than Tab-Separated?

Your script already writes comma-separated CSV files because it uses Python’s csv.writer with delimiter=','.
If you were seeing tab-separated files before, it was probably from the previous version where you manually joined columns with "\t".join(row).

I do not really see any difference between this new version and the one that I sent previously, although spaces like:L_ AMDpth are now L AMDpth.
Don't know if it's good now. You said the function needs to be added to KBS editor, in what time window will that be, would be done in let's say two months? Also, I suspect that the KBS editor was updated because I no longer get the glitches that we spoke about before. Glitches that cause random value alterations.

This looks good, I should be able to work with this. I don't have a timeline, but I expect it's something I'll be able to get to in the next few weeks. I'll need you to test it, so I'll upload a beta here once I have something.
Not sure what the latest version is that you're using, LMK - it should show the version # at the bottom right. The latest I believe is 3.2.0.

I still need to create five more Theta 6 Hz sessions to complete the 6th series, so I’ll work on those later today. This marks the final day of the 8th series, meaning I can finally start the 7th series tomorrow. Based on the current pace, I expect to finish the 6th series in about 2.5 months. Otherwise, I will manually create the 5th series in a few weeks. I’m currently on V3.1.2, and while I might update it later, the glitch I mentioned earlier doesn’t appear in this version—just thought I’d let you know.

[Andy]

Cool. What "glitch" are you referring to?

[Jos Bos]

I’ve just sent you an email in our ongoing thread, the same one where we discussed this bug back in 2021.

I have three potential improvement suggestions, though I?m not sure how much additional effort they would require.

KBS editor:
I?m not sure if this is already planned, but it would be incredibly helpful if the KBS editor could be modified to batch-convert CSV files into KBS files, rather than having to load and export each file manually. Even being able to convert files one by one manually would save a lot of time compared to the current process. However, automating this in bulk would be far more efficient. If this feature existed, I could generate 70 unique sessions per frequency, allowing me to do two daily sessions for five weeks without repeating the same sessions during that period. I started with 22 files, doing them 3x per day. The files were shorter back then, but I learned that the brain/being needs time to reset & integrate the sessions. So I switched to 2 times per day, 16 sessions per frequency.

Kasina Software:

1. Play Mode Indicator
Currently, my training involves a video showing progressive muscle relaxation for over 20 minutes, immediately followed by box breathing. I started with 6-6-6-6 timing and transitioned to 9-9-13-13, lasting about 20 minutes. Followed by AVS 84+min. I created a blank file with a duration of 43:53 and organized separate folders for each session. Each folder contains the blank file first, followed by the actual AVS file. When I start the video, I press the Kasina?s right button to begin playing the first file. However, there?s no way to see on the Kasina screen which play mode is active. Sometimes I?m unsure if I pressed the middle or right button, causing the wrong play mode to start. (which throws a wrench in the practice, because the next session would not start)
It would be very helpful if the Kasina screen displayed the current play mode. That said, with the potential CSV to KBS conversion, I could create a blank space of 43:53 before the L&S part of the session.

2. Scrolling Through KBS Sessions
I?ve noticed it?s not possible to scroll forward or backward through a KBS session. In some situations, being able to navigate within the session would be very useful.

Sent you an e-mail. Have a peek when you get a chance.

Alright, thank you. I will check it out a.s.a.p
