new piece: Herald of Water, Herald of Air

Hi all,

Just posted a new one:
http://mysterybear.net/article/34/herald-of-water-herald-of-air

This is a 16 minute piece, but there are two different versions: “Herald of Water” and “Herald of Air”. They start slow but build, so be careful with volume based on the level at the beginning. Hope you enjoy it/them.

Made with Csound and blue.

Csound 5.10 for OS X 10.5 is now available

An installer package containing Csound 5.10 built for OS X 10.5 “Leopard” is
(finally) available to download on the Sourceforge pages of the Csound
project. Many apologies for taking so long to finish this release.

This package is built for PowerPC Macs since that is what I have available
but it should work on Intel Macs as well (if slowly). An Intel-specific
package or a Universal binary will hopefully follow once I figure out the
details of building it.


To obtain this new release, download the file

 Csound5.10-float-PPC-OSX10.5.tar.gz

from

<http://sourceforge.net/project/showfiles.php?group_id=81968&package_id=1204
82&release_id=647554>


Please post any problems or questions here.

Thanks!

QuteCsound 04.RC2

Hi all,

I’m happy to announce a new version of QuteCsound. You can get it here
(currently OS X only, Windows version will be announced soon):
https://sourceforge.net/project/showfiles.php?group_id=227265&package_id=275156
http://qutecsound.sourceforge.net/

This version, though in name a new release candidate, actually has
major changes, both in performance, stability and functionality.
Please try it and report any issues you find. Upgrading is highly
recommended as this release fixes the nasty
save-while-running-and-I’ll-blank-your-file bug.

To use the code graph function, you need graphviz from graphviz.org.
This release also makes QuteCsound dependent on libsndfile to record
Csound output directly from QuteCsound (no more need for fout).

Here are the details:

Version 0.4RC2

New:
-When there are compilation errors, the editor goes to error line and
highlights it.
-New record button which can start/stop recording csound’s output to
file at any moment (without overwriting previous recordings)
-Code graph generator (you can now produce a graph of your Csound code
using View Code)
-Option in edit menu to change from invalue/outvalue to chnget/chnset
and viceversaGraph in the View Menu. Some things like if’s and labels
are not yet properly shown)
-Widgets with the same channel are now interconnected even when Csound
is not running
-New Scope widget which allows seeing Csound’s output. It should be
more efficient than using a graph widget with the display opcode.
Additionally, the Scope Widget can be frozen by clicking and holding
over it.
-New option to set default csd file.
-QuteCsound now builds on Solaris
-Keyboard shortcut for Save as…
-Groups fo widgets can now be selected dragging the mouse
-New examples in Example menu
-Changed Play to Run in menus
-Graph Widget can now be zoomed in/out in the preferences
-Graph widget now receives a value which sets the shown table. See
included example.

Fixed:
-Widget Panel hides when open and save file chooser opens, to prevent
the widget panel from obstructing the dialog
-Document tabs now display modified icon correctly when they are modified.
-Files can’t be opened (or saved as) if they are already open in QuteCsound
-Labels can now contain commas and other characters which were being stripped
-Added close button to find/replace dialog
-Variables containing ‘_’ are now highlighted properly
-Graph widget now displays properly the output of the dispfft and
display opcodes
-Graph Widgets now zoom properly (no more white graphs)
-Fixed crash when saving while running
-Several bug fixes should improve performance and stability

Internal changes:
-QuteCsound now requires libsndfile for the Record button. This
dependency can be removed in the src.pro file
-Removed support for chnget/chnset as it conflicts too much with the
internal model of QuteCsound

Enjoy!
