Csound News
[03.11.03]
Steven
Yi releases Blue & Patterns v0.91.3
New BLUE
Features:
[*]
The
page has changed, and downloads are now accessible from a
downloadpage provided by SourceForge
Updated/Fixed BLUE
Features:
[*]
the
initial work of internationalizing blue. A great big thanks to
Francisco Vila for providing a Spanish translation and Young
Choi for providing a Korean translation of the
menus | |
[03.06.03]
Gabriel
Maldonado releases
CsoundAV 0.043
New Features:
| |
[-]
Auto-installing distributions, with examples, manuals
and editor
|
| |
[-] ASIO should
work with most professional (i.e. 20, 24 and 32-bit)
audio interfaces
|
| |
[-] 32-bit float
format is allowed for realtime in/out with portaudio (by
setting -f flag), besides 16-bit integer format
|
| |
[-] In the
"Realtime File Output" area of the main window
(hard-disk recording of realtime session), now the files
written are true .wav files, not headerless raw files
with .wav extension as in previous versions (you have to
set -R flag, in order to rewrite header) . Also support
of 32-bit float is allowed for recording when setting -f
flag with portaudio output.
|
| |
[-] Now
portaudio displays correct amplitudes of the events on
the console
|
| |
[-] vcopy_i
copies a table to another table at i-rate
| | |
[02.27.03]
Istvan
Varga releases his DeveloperCsound 4.24.1
Language Changes:
[*]
internal indexes to local and global pools of variables
have been changed to use 32 bit variables (previously, 16 bit
indexes were used). This allows much larger and more complex
instruments to be written
New and Modified Opcodes:
[*]
soundout, soundouts, soundoutc: Write audio rate
signals to a raw (headerless) sound file in various
formats
[*] loopl,
loople,loopg, loopge: Simple loop opcodes that add the
increment value (iincr or kincr) to the index variable (indx
or kndx), storing the result in the index
variable
[*] vector opcodes from
CsoundAV:
| |
xvadd, vmult,
vpow, vexp, vaddv, vsubv, vmultv, vdivv, vpowv, vexpv,
vcopy, vmap, vlimit, vwrap, vmirror, vlinseg, vexpseg,
vrandh, vrandi, vport, and
vecdelay
|
Bug Fixes:
[*]
fixed
bugs in reading of score files with very long
lines
[*] MIDI opcodes should
no longer crash when used with a channel that has not been
initialized with massign
[*]
included score files with multiple sections have been
fixed
[*] fixed timing
problems in long score files with very short time intervals;
It is possible to revert to the old timing method by using the
"--old-score-timing" command line option.
[*]
soundout bug that made the output files shorter than
the actual length of the note with soundout was
fixed
[*] turnoff now skips
the rest of the instrument if there is no release time
(xtratim = 0)
[*]
minor
bug fixes in named instrument name lookup
Misc. Changes:
[*]
Csound
is now built as a shared library, and the Csound API has been
extensively revised and new functions and structures have been
added
[*] real-time audio
modules and some opcodes are now built as dynamically loaded
libraries (DLLs)
[*]
the
localization system of Csound (which used the file csound.xmg
or csound.txt) was replaced.
[*]
Csound
for Win32 is now built using the MinGW headers and libraries
instead of Cygwin (the Cygwin license is incompatible with
that of Csound). This means that 'cygwin1.dll' is no longer
needed to run Csound.

signals. Useful on Intel CPUs to avoid
"denormals".
