The examples sound great Steven, looking forward to look into these
techniques.
Anthony, I think your opcodes are stil useful. How do the opcodes compare in
terms of processing speed to Steven's implementation ?

> I'm happy to announce the release of a new blue/Csound instrument
> entitled PhaseShaper.  The instrument is modeled on the Casio CZ-101
> and it's Phase Distortion synthesis though I am calling it
> Phaseshaping as the operation is very similar to Waveshaping but done
> on a phasor and not on an audio signal.  It's not an exact model nor
> is it meant to be, as there are some features from the CZ-101 which I
> did not include (like amp key follow and noise modulation) and other
> features which I added in (custom setting of frequency range for wave
> key follow, hand drawing of phaseshaping table instead of choosing
> from "waveforms").  I've been very excited by this instrument's
> flexibility and quality of sound and hope others find it as rich and
> useful as I have!
>
> For blue users I have uploaded two copies to blueShare which you can
> download and use immediately.  One is a version that uses a 5 pfield
> format that can easily be used with the Tracker object and PianoRoll.
> The other version uses an 8 pfield format that is standard for use
> with my orchestral composition library for those who are familiar with
> it.
>
> For non-blue users, I have placed a zip with 4 CSD examples that use
> the same instrument but have different settings for the parameters of
> the instrument.  The code that gets generated can be a little bit not
> straightforward so even if you don't use blue, it's recommended to at
> least look at the code within blue to see how the parameters get
> mapped and generated to the CSD's in the examples.
>
> The zip file, plus links to the user interface (PNG) as it appears in
> blue (which can be helpful for those non-blue users to see if they
> plan to work with the instrument), and mp3 versions of the examples
> can be found at:
>
> http://www.csounds.com/stevenyi
>
> blue users may want to download the zip to get a copy of the .blue
> project that was used to generate the CSD examples.  Otherwise, the
> presets that were used in the project were saved with the instrument
> when uploaded to blueShare if one wants to try those out.  blue users
> may also want to try explore the instrument using the "Randomize"
> feature to randomize the widget parameters.

> Big thanks to Anthony Kozar and others on the Csound Dev list for
> bringing up the CZ-101 in discussion!  Without them, I would not have
> ever come across this really lovely sounding instrument!

> Enjoy!
