hello list,

I’m glad to introduce Surmulot, the integration of all my code for musical composition:
http://www.zogotounga.net/surmulot/surmulot.html

Csound-x users on Windows are encouraged to download the 80 Mb archive at
http://www.zogotounga.net/surmulot/surmulot.zip

When unzipped, you will have Emacs with Csound-x along with µO for Squeak, Csound, Timidity and a few other apps all integrated by scripts and TCP/IP and ready to use. No change is made to the registry, no installation is required, no environment variable is touched.

Double-click “start emacs.bat” and Emacs should open with a welcome buffer from where several links will help you navigate in the system.

Try the two following demos:

“CSD composition with embedded MIDI”
and
“CSD composition with graphical envelope editing”

… they will show you how to edit musical data right into csound-x via graphical morphic GUIs.

This version of Surmulot can be considered a pre-release, and as always feedback is warmly welcome !

I have fixed the following issues in the Csound 5.08 beta Windows installer for double-precision samples and replaced the installer on SourceForge:

— The Python opcodes (py.dll) were missing, and have been added.

— The PortAudio DLL was in the wrong location, and has been moved to the correct location.

— The SConstruct file will now build Csound for the installer on Windows XP using either the MinGW 4.2.1 compiler in the MSYS shell, or the Microsoft Visual C++ 15.0 compiler in the Windows shell, or the Intel C++ Compiler 10.1 in the Windows shell.

The following issues remain to be resolved:

— FLTK labels are reported to be the wrong size.

— The Python extension modules do not build properly with the Microsoft or Intel compilers because of classes that are exported but are derived from non-exported base classes. This should be fixed, but I am not sure if there are follow-on effects for other compilers or operating systems.

Please advise me of any other problems, issues, or suggestions.

Regards,
Mike

Friends (and enemies and those indifferent)

Following a number of technical problems I can announce that the Beta
version of Csound 5.08 is now available for Windows, MacOSX and Linux
on Sourceforge.
