Version 1.5 of the [rtcmix~] Max/MSP object is available for free
download:

http://rtcmix.org/rtcmix~/

for both Macintosh OS X  (universal binary) and Windows XP.

New features in this release include the ability to access sound
data from max/msp [buffer~] objects as well as several minor bug
fixes.

For those who don’t know, [rtcmix~] encapsulates the “musicN”-style
sound synthesis and signal processing language RTcmix within
Max/MSP.  RTcmix includes a robust scheduler and large set of
pre-compiled synthesis and signal-processing instruments.  It
also comes with a functional-style (“C-like”) programming interface
for algorithmic compositional work as well as data storage and
mathematical operations.  Full source for the objectand the
language are also on-line.

Both Macintosh OSX and Windows XP versions are available.

I hope you enjoy using it!  For more information about RTcmix,

Version 1.1 of the [chuck~] Max/MSP object is available for free
download:

http://music.columbia.edu/~brad/chuck~/

for Macintosh OS X (universal binary).

[chuck~] imbeds the ChucK music-programming language in Max/MSP,
bringing a sophisticated set of synthesis and signal-processing
tools into the Max/MSP environment.  [chuck~] also features an
advanced timing and scheduling system in addition to a
functional-style programming interface for algorithmic
operations.  Full source for the object and the language are
also on-line.

No Windows XP version is available at present — sorry!

This is a fun object — enjoy it!  For more information about
ChucK, visit the ChucK web page:

Hi all,

csound~ v1.0.3 can be found at:

http://www.davixology.com/csound~.html

Please note that on WinXP, the “python25.dll” errors are not fatal;
just click “OK”, “OK”, “OK” and continue working.  Don’t want to
see those error messages anymore?  Just install Python 2.5.

Here’s a summary of changes since last version:

-> Added “bypass” message.  “bypass 1” enables bypass mode and
   “bypass 0” disables bypass mode.

   When bypass mode is enabled, audio arriving at [csound~]’s inlets
   will be copied to their respective outlets.  If there is an active
   Csound performance, it will not be performed while in bypass mode,
   thus saving CPU cycles.
  
-> Added “tempo” message.  It accepts a float argument that sets
   the playback speed when playing recorded events.  “tempo 1.0” means
   playback at original speed.  “tempo” messages are not recorded.

-> (WinXP) Fixed crashes when sending “start” or “bang” after sending a
   “csound” message that contains files that can’t be found.  Now, when
   the “csound” message is received, all csd/orc/sco files are are
   searched for.  If they are not found, then sending “bang” or “start”
   will do nothing.

-> (WinXP) Only two binaries included in zip file (csound~_double.mxe and
   csound~_float.mxe).  These binaries are compatible with Csound_5.03
   through Csound_5.06.  They should also be compatible with upcoming
   releases (fingers crossed).
