[CHANGE LOG]

Notes for 0.119.0<
[released 2007.11.10]

Steven Yi———————————————————————–

blue

    [new] – implemented partial SoundObject rendering, allowing        SoundObjects to
                    be able to take in relative renderStart and renderEnd and to use
                    that information when generating notes; AudioFile, Frozen
                    SoundObject, and both LineObject classes can now generate notes if
                    renderStart happens in the middle of their duration (previously,
                    a soundObject would generate a note for the entire duration, then
                    notes would get translated to the renderStart time and then filtered
                    if notes do not start at time 0.0 or great; this process still
                    happens, but for the above SoundObjects, partial notes will now be
                    generated that are adjusted to the render start and those objects
                    will contribute notes that won’t get filtered out and will start
                    playback in the middle of their content)

                    (Thanks to Michael Bechard for suggesting this!)

    [new] – When clicking an Instance soundObject, will no longer use the
            Instance editor but instead edit the SoundObject from the
            SoundObject Library that the instance points to, using the new
            green border/label to show that you are editing a Library object

    [new/updated] – when editing Library SoundObjects, now shows a text label
            that says “Editing Library SoundObject” to help further show that
            one is editing a SoundObject that might be pointed at by multiple
            instances

    [fix] – when auditioning soundObjects, was using disk render settings and
            not realtime render settings

    [fix] – when using blueLive, triggering ObjectBuilder objects would not
            generate score correctly

            (Thanks to Andrzej K for reporting this!)

    [updated] – Updated top section of SoundObjects reference to discuss
            partial object rendering

OSC for Windows csound5.07 (floats)

Since OSC has not been released in 5.07,
I have put a zip file with the OSC opcodes and relevant DLLs for
anyone to download for their Csound 5.07 floats version. I have
not tested this with an installed Csound, but I reckon it will
work OK. Please let me know if it works at all and I will add
then a doubles version.

Csound Journal – Issue 7

Hi All,

Jim and I are proud to announce that issue 7 of the Csound Journal is
now available online at:

http://www.csounds.com/journal

Although out a little later than we had expected, we think it’s a well
rounded issue and well worth the wait.  Our thanks go out to the
article authors as well as the reviewers for all of their hard work
and contributions to another great issue of the Journal!

Thanks all and enjoy!
