there are opcodes in the manual that are missing good, simple and/or complete examples. Sometimes there are just plain bugs and the opcodes do not work as they should. This makes that these opcodes like black boxes and make them unusable.
I think an example should clarify immediately why at the time it was necessary to create this particular opcode. Without this, the knowledge can get lost.
If someone knows of an example for an opcode that has been placed in the list below, please let me know.

These are the guidelines for the examples in the manual:

1. work right-out-of-the-box
2. run in realtime if possible
3. sr = 44100 (or 48000 using jack)
4. ksmps = 32
5. nchnls = 2
6. use the "modern" 0dbfs = 1 if possible
7. be simple and clear in the purpose of that particular opcode

I'm testing with Ubuntu11.10 and WinXound/CsoundQt.
I work my way through the manual from A -Z and hope that soon this blog can be deleted because all opcodes will have their examples in the manual and my work is done :)

This is the list with unsolved problems with examples
================================================

Installing of CsoundQt

CsoundQt - formerly know as Qutecsound - is developing fast.
This is how i got CsoundQt from SVN installed - with help from Andrés Cabrera **thanks**

1. download CsoundQt from Sourceforge: svn co https://qutecsound.svn.sourceforge.net/svnroot/qutecsound qutecsound
2. i already have built and installed Csound Double Precision - see another blog entry; http://www.csounds.com/node/1373
3. install qt4-qmake and libqt4-dev
4. go to qutecsound/trunk/qutecsound
5. For Csound double precision use: qmake-qt4 qcs.pro CONFIG+=build64 LIBSNDFILE_LIBRARY_DIR="/usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu"
6. stay at qutecsound/trunk/qutecsound
7. make

This will produce a working CsoundQt in qutecsound/trunk/qutecsound. Doublclick on "qutecsound" in the qutecsound/trunk/qutecsound/bin and CsoundQt opens.

Installing of Loris

For the Loris opcodes to work in Csound, i've used these instructions:

1. go to http://sourceforge.net/projects/loris/files/ and get Loris version 1.8.

These are the steps i take for installing the most recent Csound install from GIT (using command: git clone git://csound.git.sourceforge.net/gitroot/csound/csound5) in (K)(X)Ubuntu. The GIT version of Csound still may contain some bugs but i just want to have the most recent version of Csound on my system. After downloading the source package from GIT, these are the steps to take to build the latest version of Csound.

What packages are needed?

I'm working with KxStudio (Kubuntu10.04), Csound and Blue.
I have all my samples in SSDIR and would like to have SADIR with all these samples analyzed by LPANAL, HETRO and all the other analyzing utilities and have them ready to try them out while looping in Blue. Instead of converting them all hand by hand i was looking for a little script that would analyze all the samples at once. So i asked around and now i have i little bash-script that will do the trick.
Here they are.

The bash-script for PVANAL:
