QuteCsound 0.4.3 is out
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:

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

Appel d’oeuvres/Call for works Futura 2010
For its 2010 edition, the Futura festival is looking for fixed media works (acousmatic music, musique concrète, video art, hörspiel, etc.) around the ‘travel diary’ thematic.
The sent works may be ‘real’ diaries, elaborated with sound takes and/or recognizable images, but these diaries may also be ‘abstract’, without any identifiable sounds, concentrating only on remaining traces, impressions. The works evolving between these two poles are also, indeed, welcome.
It is all about drawing a large and original view of the ‘travel diary’, which is not only a journey in a geographical space, but rather the expression of an experience or a view on the surrounding world. As such, it is not absolutely necessary to have crossed back and forth the whole planet to submit a proposal, obviously travels are also metaphoric. It can be expressed through very diverse aesthetics and forms.
Nonetheless, we are not looking for ‘raw’, ‘objective’ soundscapes or field-recordings. To the contrary, we would like to program subjective works, and place at the centre of this thematic the perception of the traveller-composer-artist.
The submissions:
– The limited number of submissions is 2 works by composer, excepting works with video which amount is not limited.
– Only sonic works on tape medium should be submitted (acousmatic/concrète, radiophonic art…).
Please do not send proposals for live electronics or performances.
– Preference is given to stereophonic music (multiphonic works may be accepted, but always if a stereo mix is provided for the selection process).
– Works including video are also encouraged.
-Deadline for the reception of works on CD Audio only (no cd-r or DVD-Audio) or DVD (for videos) is fixed before January 31 2010 (post-marked).
At the following address: Futura, 62, avenue de Flandre F-75019 Paris, France.
– Fill necessarily the form you’ll find as an attachment and send it by email: info@festivalfutura.fr
– Also send by email a program note about the submitted work (20 lines max), a short biography and a picture (.tiff or .jpg) to info@festivalfutura.fr
