Hello,

For those of you who are still interested, I’ve finally managed to track down and fix the (extremely abstruse) bug that was causing my granular synthesis external (mdeGranular~) to crash on MacIntel machines.  It’s now available at:

http://www.michael-edwards.org/software/mdegranular/mdegranular.html#downloads

Apologies for the length of time it took me to get this out but as a windows user I didn’t have a working MacIntel machine with Developer Tools until very recently.

Best wishes,

        Michael

Hi,

csound~ v1.0.2 is now up at:

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

Changes from v1.0.1:

-> Fixed deadlock bug that occurs when starting/restarting a
   Csound performance while [csound~] is receiving “control”
   messages.

-> Added ability to use chnset opcode instead of outvalue opcode.

   Declaring output channels (with the chn_k opcode) is required
   for chnset to work with [csound~].

   Declaring input channels is not required for chnget.

-> Writing/Reading a recording to/from a file now occurs in a
   separate thread.

-> Fixed endian issues when reading recordings made on different
   architectures.

-> (WinXP) csound~.mxe size has increased due to static linking
   of the VC8 C runtime library.  This will prevent the
   “error 14001” problem that some people have experienced.

-> Changed dependance on pthreadVC2.dll to pthreadGC2.dll (which
   just so happens to be distributed with Csound5).  This means
   you don’t have to insall pthreadVC2.dll anymore (yay).

Hello.

Ive just released a beta set of patches and objects that provide a usable structured methodology for building reusable, modular performance environments. Its is intended for Jitter, but is abstract enough to be useful for MSP users, and flexible enough to be added to existing patches with out much effort.

The patches are Open Source (Creative Commons Non Commercial, Share Alike, Attribution), and can be found here:

http://001.vade.info/

The set consists of user interface objects that build upon the basic objects in max, module loading and message passing patches, and some simple utility patches.

v001 is not intended to solve all patching issues, but to provide a usable and simple framework that most people can immediately find helpful and to quickly begin to build custom patches that gain a lot of functionality ‘for free’.

Ive included some screen casts explaining the basic concepts. Please excuse the audio in the screencasts.

I hope people find these objects as useful as I do. The development is also open, so I would love to have for those interested to  help with development efforts, provide feedback, suggest better solutions and of course help find bugs.

I intend for v001 to be a community driven development effort for building feature complete patches useful in the ‘real world’. Id love if you could help out.

Thanks,
