I have just put up a new release of blue available at:

http://www.csounds.com/stevenyi/blue

This version includes the initial implementation of the mixer system
(documentation can be viewed at
http://www.csounds.com/stevenyi/blue/usermanual/html/mixer.html ). The
current implementation is somewhat limited without the effects system
in place, but one can experiment with it and do simple mixing and
routing.  The next phase will include user-definable effects with
GUI’s made using BSB widgets and code done in Csound code.  (Besides
new documentation, a mixerTest.blue file has been included in the
blue/examples/features folder).

This version also includes the new render time pointer which shows
where in the current file it is rendering when rendering in realtime
(shown as an orange line). This has been an often requested feature
over the years; I had last tried to implement this a couple years ago
but it didn’t work at the time which later turned out to be related to
csound buffering text output to pipes (now long fixed).

Other features are listed below in the change log.  Big thanks to all
who helped test the new features as well as have given bug reports!

Enjoy!
