Congratulations Andres.  Thanks so much for making it and sharing it with the list.

Diffamator is a really beautiful looking, great sounding, and wonderfully useful, musical, and educational Csound instrument.

I have been running it from Steven Yi’s Blue with his virtual keyboard (-M0 -+rtmidi=virtual) and having a wonderful time this morning exploring the sound world that it creates.  I will be showing it to my Berklee students next week for sure!  In class,  we have been focusing some on algorithmic instruments and event generation for the past couple of weeks.  This will make a nice culmination and finale to that topic and collection of models I have been sharing with them.

Everyone should check it out at:

For my 50th birthday, I  got a new 2.33GHz 17″ Intel Core 2 Duo MacBook Pro and I have been installing and testing things.

I am happy to report that Victor’s 5.04 binary distribution for the PPC mac does work on the Intel Core Duo mac (under emulation I guess)

(My plan over the next weeks is to set it up to boot in both WindowsXP and MacOsX  so that I can finally check out Lettuce,
CsoundVST, and to get CsoundAV running on here along with Csound5 and MacCsound.  Also, it will be a huge help at OLPC because many developers show up with their XP laptops wanting me to help them learn Csound.  It will be nice to just boot in XP and train them on my machine and have all my materials ready to go.)

My student Danny Patterson has been working with Davis Pyon to build an install package of Csound5 for the new Intel Macs.  I hope to have his version installed and running in the next week and then… I should be able to run your instrument
from the terminal.  I have pasted the error messages below.

Although, I couldn’t get Diffamator to run from the terminal using Csound 5.04, but from Steven Yi’s Blue…. Bingo…
All the presets worked.  Everything!

So…. once I get Danny Patterson’s MacOSX Intel install package, that should allow me to run it from the terminal.
I’ll keep you posted….

Suggestion for version 0.92:   It would be really cool for you to integrate Steven’s Virtual Keyboard (and sliders) as your default controller?  Maybe connect one of the virtual keybord sliders to feedback and to each of the Op levels, etc.  FX?  A Global-Master MADSR?  Just a few thoughts….

Thanks so much for your work on this.
