Automated CSound Orchestra

You can use the automated CSound Orchestra in Tune Smithy to convert a midi file to an audio file directly, or play CSound instruments in real time. You can do this with up to sixteen different CSound instruments simultaneously (one instrument for each Midi channel), and set the stereo pan position for each instrument individually just as for Midi. It's Windows software.

Analyze!

I'm working with Suse 11.0, 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.
Maybe it can be of use for someone else, so here they are.

The bash-script for PVANAL:

Python

Yep, I got the message - can't get into cSound because I don't have Python 2.5. After installing it. Being new to cSound and fooling around in Vista, I'm stuck.
I'm thinking of joining a monastery, and by power of prayer, devise a solution. Or, find a way of getting onto one of the forums, or fori?

Anyone played the new COD5 beta?

So has anyone seen the
COD5 game
play trailer
? I'm not sure what to think to be honest. I mean of course I'm
looking forward to seeing and playing the new Call Of Duty, but because COD4 was
such a massive success I feel like it's going to be hard for them to 1up it. Not
only that, but a different developer is going to be developing COD5, or has
developed I guess would be the correct term since it's coming out in less than a

slider bank "compiler"

This is a beta of a wxpython slider bank compiler... yet another argument for redoing everything and then releasing it on disk... plus you can sell coffee cups and tea-shirts :) this generates the sliders based on slidername minvalue maxvalue.. could be used for anything realy not just csound.. Anyone else have alot of time that would be intrested in a major self-publishing venture?? let me know.

python tkinter attemp at loading intruments as basrs

http://groups.google.com/group/comp.lang.python/browse_thread/thread/ab7...

This is inspired by csound blue. May be a good argument for keeping the graphics and the code sperate (as is often promoted on the python boards). This particular attempt may fall flat on its face.. I wish to use either tkinter or ogl (from wxpython) and ignore pygame (I like them but it's a problem on alot of laptops because of memory). It comes down to finding and example where you can limit the x and/or the y..

i don't get it...

In the .orc file we have :

instr 101 ;SIMPLE OSCIL
a1 oscil 10000, 440, 1
out a1
endin

the function number, which is the third argument of oscil is 1.

Is this function number is referring to the f-table in the .sco file ?

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

OK, after reading the comments, let's recapitulate :

The function number, the third argument of oscil, is referring to the f-table in the .sco file. ftables can also be defined in ORC code via the ftgen opcode.

First essays with CSound

through cmd, it is possible to compile csound files :

cd [directory]
> csound filename.orc filename.sco

The .csd is unified file (.orc+.sco) with tags.
