QuteCsound 0.4.5 released

By JyKang in [Csnd]Info 0 Comment
Hi all,

QuteCsound 0.4.5 is ready! This version includes many fixes, additions
and useful improvements. Upgrading to this version is highly
recommended.

QuteCsound is a simple frontend for Csound featuring a highlighting
editor with autocomplete, interactive widgets and integrated help. It
can open files created in MacCsound, and aims to be a simple yet
powerful and complete development environment for Csound.

QuteCsound 0.4.5 has been tested on Windows, OS X, Linux and Solaris,
and it is free software released under the LGPLv2 or at your option
GPLv3.

There are binary packages for Windows and OS X, and a source package
for other platforms.
You can get it here:
http://sourceforge.net/projects/qutecsound/files/QuteCsound/0.4.5/

There’s more information here:
http://qutecsound.sourceforge.net/

Questions, comments and suggestions are very welcome and can be posted
to the main Csound mailing list, but better still, join the QuteCsound
users mailing list at:
http://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/qutecsound-users

A big thanks to all collaborators for this release, including Joachim
Heintz, Alex Hofmann, Andy Fillebrown, Stefano Valli and Francois
Pinot (for his additions to the Scope Widget), the translators and the
testers.

BIG NOTE FOR WINDOWS USERS!!!!!
On Windows the fluid and FLTK opcodes from Csound are causing issues
with QuteCsound. It is highly recommended that these opcodes are not
used inside QuteCsound (they are safe if you run in external
terminal). The best way to disable these opcodes is the following:
1. Copy the plugins directory from your Csound installation (usually
C:/Program Files/Csound/plugins) to a new directory. You can call it
any name, and place it anywhere you want, but using the Csound or
QuteCsound directory might be a good idea.
2. From this new directory delete the files fluidOpcodes.dll,
widgets.dll and virtual.dll
3. In the QuteCsound go to the Environment tab in the Configuration
Dialog and in the field called OPCODEDIR, select the directory you
just created.

When you’ve done this, QuteCsound will look in the new directory for
opcodes, instead of the default directory. This way, you can keep your
installation of Csound intact, and can control the usage of these
plugins from the QuteCsound preferences. If you are experiencing
sudden crashes (when switching windows, for example), the problem
might be the fluid opcodes. If copy/paste is not working, the problem
is almost certainly the FLTK opcodes and virtual keyboard.

Enjoy!

QuteCsound 0.4.3 is out

By JyKang in [Csnd]Info 0 Comment
Hi all,

QuteCsound 0.4.3 is ready! But most people won’t need to download it
as it is now included in both the Windows and OS X installers for
Csound 5.11. It’s been quite a while since the last binary release,
and this version includes many fixes, additions and hopefully
improvements (see further down).

QuteCsound is a simple frontend for Csound featuring a highlighting
editor with autocomplete, interactive widgets and integrated help. It
is a cross-platform drop in replacement for MacCsound (it can open
files created in MacCsound), and aims to be a simple yet powerful and
complete development environment for Csound.

QuteCsound 0.4.3 has been tested on Windows, OS X, Linux and Solaris,
and it is free software released under the LGPLv2 or at your option GPLv3.

Known bugs:
-On OSX the Scope widget is causing trouble. If you are getting
crashes, delete any Scope wigets, which will probably solve the
problem. I hope to have a fix soon.
-There is currently no PPC version of QuteCsound. If you need it,
please let me know.

You can get it here:
http://sourceforge.net/projects/qutecsound/files/QuteCsound/0.4.3/

There’s more information here:
http://qutecsound.sourceforge.net/

You can download a Quick Reference pdf document in English, Spanish, French or
German here:

Questions, comments and suggestions can be posted to the main Csound
mailing list, or join the QuteCsound users mailing list at:

The release binaries were made by Joachim Heintz and Andy Fillebrown
which have prepared the installers for OS X and Windows respectively
(I don’t use either system…). Thanks to them and to the translators
and testers for the many reports and ideas.

What’s new (from 0.4.1):
Revision 230
-Added option to run FLTK csds (when the string FLpanel is present) in
terminal always
-New german translation
-Added coloring of background for dock console.
-Add support for keyboard events to the widget panel
-Quick Reference can now be opened directly from the Help menu. Also
added configuration entry to select PDF viewer.
-New splash screen
-Added support for the sensekey opcode (Csound will now receive
keyboard key press and release when focus is on the console or the
widget panel.
-Added help menu option to load manual (main page).
-When widgets are placed beyond the widget panel’s size, the widget
panel will display scrollbars
-Re-enabled usage of chnget and chnset (only
-Added universal convolution, oscillator aliasing, Formant Synth and
pvstencil examples
-Added keyboard shortcut selector. Most keyboard shortcuts can now be
customized.
-Added QuickRef document in French by Francois Pinot
-Portuguese translation by Victor Lazzarini
-Improved indent/unindent and comment/uncomment (now searches to the
start of selected line)

Fixed:
-Many small changes to examples, default csd and Quick reference docs
-Cleaned up source for dot code generator
-No more missing lines in the console
-Many fixes to build and packaging system
-Display widgets now store their value properly, so they can also be read from
-Force clipping of floats to int conversion when recording to avoid
foldback distortion. This means that out of range samples when using
record will not produce the ugly distortion they were producing.
-Hide help panel if visible when file menu is
displayed since it stays on top on OS X.
-Workaround for MS-Windows clipboard error (clipboard becomes
non-functional after call to
csoundReset). Not perfect, but hopefuly better
-Fixed highlighting of loop opcodes
-Fixed open from desktop on OS X

In progress:
-Started work on export for Cabbage (almost done)
-Started work on saving without widgets

Enjoy
