Steven,

Is Blue the way that I could be testing Csound5 on the Mac with a wonderful
full-featured and intuitive graphical front-end?  Is this how you test
Csound5?  If so, is there anything special I would need to do to use Blue as
the front-end for Csound5?

Hope you are well.

Dr. B.

Is anyone on the developer list using Blue with Csound5?

I've tested it only with a few trivial examples, including some FLTK and 
MIDI I/O stuff. It works fine so far with Cs5 for Linux.

I must add that my tests aren't very strenuous, ergo they don't at all 
represent Csound's capabilities under heavy loads. Iain Duncan has been 
experimenting with that aspect, with mixed results IIRC. Iain, anything 
new to share with us re: your tests with Cs5 ?

I've not been testing with graphic frontends, sorry. I suppose I should, 
I'm just too short on time and Csound is a mother-huge system (beautiful 
though). I was keeping up with Michael's CsoundVST interface, but it's 
currently broken (at least for my RH9). I used it essentially as a 
launcher, and yes, I think it would be good for a common multiplatform GUI.

I'll occasionally remember to test Cs5 with Cecilia and blue. If there's 
something specific you want me to check out, let me know.

blue rocks steady.

Best,

dp

Greetings:

 A quick note: When blue terminates a render it isn't always cleanly 
ended. I watch 'ps -a' routinely for hanging csound processes, that's 
still a problem with Cs5 I think.

Best,

Hi Dr. B,

Yes, I use Csound5 regularly with blue. I've pretty much switched to 
using it primarily at home on Linux, and now that I've been able to 
compile CS5 on windows (since the past week), I've been able to test 
there, though with MME soundcard driver, performance was pretty awful.  
=(  You should be able to test on OSX with blue and CS5 as blue doesn't 
care what csound you use, you simply give a commandline for blue to 
execute on a CSD file, same as you would for csound4 (so no special 
instructions!).

Hi Dave,

I'll check to see if it's something I'm doing incorrectly in blue.  What 
version of blue are you using?  And were you using PortAudio or ALSA?  
Using portaudio, I get a weird thing where csound returns but I have to 
wait like 1 second (there's a 1 second timeout somewhere in csound5 code 
I saw the other day) before I can run CS5 again.  Using ALSA, I haven't 
been having problems at all.

Hi Steven:

Sorry, I should have made it clear that I was testing -+rtaudio=portaudio.

Best,
