This version is a compatibility update for the latest version of Csound. It is ONLY compatible with Csound 5.10+.

A doubles version of csound~ for intel Mac is now available.

There are no other major changes.

Let me know if you have problems. Have fun!

Hi folks. I’m just letting the forum know that I made a standalone app to trigger sounds based on a camera feed. Not terribly exciting news for MAXers, but it’s targeted at students who don’t have access to MAX.

The blurb:
Video Trigger is a free motion detector application tailored for media artists. Attach a camera and trigger sounds whenever occupancy is detected in six user-defined areas of the video image. You have complete control over the playback logic and the signal routing. Surround is supported.

Complete info is here:

New version squashes a couple of lethal bugs (crashes when trying to
disconnect before connecting for the first time and similar joys), including
periodic connectivity issues (now all devices should connect from the first
try including Wii Fit), and updated documentation.
