I fixed a nasty bug in the score editor... The score editor is the only one I know of that uses features that were in jeskola buzz and aplies them to csound such as templates exc... I dont have that much time to work on it so it may be a while befour it is updated again.. http://www.stormpages.com/edexter/csound.html

Miller Puckette mentioned during his keynote at this years Linux Audio Conference that he didn't care much for so-called 'live' computer music where the performer plays only a very small part in the overall piece. I thought it would be fun to write something that only records a second or so of live input from the performer and then goes to town with it. The attached instrument couldn't be much simpler, two comb filters and the option of an allpass if needed. Be forewarned that it's a glitch instrument of sorts so expect plenty of raw sounds.

I am currently working on a small update to the MacOS X/9 version of CMask. So far, I think that I have fixed almost all of the shortcomings in the GUI from the previous release. The "Generate Score..." command should hopefully now allow you to open any file on MacOS X 10.4. And the other menu commands are all working with the exception of "Page Setup".

Hi, everybody,

It's very slow in realtime performance to play a polyphonic ensenble consisted of sf2s. No matter how I adjusted the kr, -B, -b, and -d, it just won't work. Is there any trick that can make it work?

This is a simple little soundfile playback .csd file. I'm currently using it instead of iTunes because it's quicker to just play a file back on the fly, using the provided script.

Happy trails,

Joachim Heintz very correctly pointed out on the Csound emailing list that the syntax highlighting text editor cseditor which is part of the canonical source base somehow did not make it back into the installers.

My guess is that changes in the SConstruct file have made including the cseditor binary on all platforms in the installer a problem. I will look into that and commit the changes.

For now, this is a binary for users of OSX, since Joachim Heintz brought it up. It also includes the source code and will compile on all platforms simply using the commandline

$ fltk-config --compile frontends/cseditor/cseditor.cxx

from the root directory of the CVS source code tree. For example, from a fresh checkout.

Hopefully this helps to obviate some confusion surrounding a lightweight, portable, and compact solution for a Csound syntax highlighting text editor.

NOTE that since .cxx files are not uploadable to this blog, it may be necessary to rename cseditor.cxx.txt to cseditor.cxx

Today's blog is on SineBox: a "music box" like instrument that plays itself. Once a user starts SineBox with a single i-event in the score, SineBox creates instances of itself, generating multiple sine tones over time. This may not be the most musical piece of Csound technology ever conceived of. It can, however, be molded to fit a wide range of uses, musical and otherwise.

I recently wrote an article on doing physical modeling of a microtonal flute in realtime with csound5, this is a relatively simple instrument that produces strange results, and could make a nice instrument for a midi controller improvisation with other musicians. The design reflects my previous background in free improvisation, my idea of a csound free jazz instrument.

at first was a post at gentoo forum and then i did a post at csound mailing list that caused a fast answer! now i 'm able to run csound on my gentoo system.

i guess more people will need these instructions, so:

1.
you need to add pro-audio overlay.
