Dear Csounders,  we have now formally announced the new release of the 
CDP software, some aspects of which may be of direct interest here. It 
has already been available on Github for some time, so early adopters 
can test building etc on different platforms. We have confirmed the 
programs (all Intel builds) run on new M1/M2 Apple machines.  I have 
added below our formal "Press release". To this I want to add a mention 
of the new support in CDP for the PVOCEX analysis file format (.pvx). 
This will enable direct exchanges between CDP pvoc processes and Csound.

Facilities include:

  "pvplay", a command line program to play an analysis file directly 
(otherwise, the same as the "paplay" program which has long been part of 
my "Multichannel Toolkit");

"pvocex2" : a version of classic pvoc I wrote a long time ago to 
implement the new format (including stereo analysis files, which the 
format supports, but not yet supported in CDP - but pvplay will play 
them); there is a simple '-I' flag option to report the PVOCEX 
proporties of an analysis file;

"specinfo print": print analysis windows to text file. Use with care!

Composers' Desktop Project: new software release
--------------------------------------------------

The Composers' Desktop Project (CDP) is proud to announce its 8th 
software release, with over 80 new processes written by composer Trevor 
Wishart.

Release 8 adds to the CDP's toolset especially in the manipulation of 
formants, wavecycle distortion, segmentation and repetition, plus new 
multichannel processes and synthesis functions.

The CDP system is a comprehensive sound design toolkit of over 450 
processes. Developed over 35 years, it covers almost every aspect of 
sound transformation, including many that may be unfamiliar or are 
presented from an original or compositional viewpoint.

CDP is not a real-time system or a suite of plugins, but transforms 
sound-files (or their spectral equivalents) to create new sonic material.


CDP is released under a Creative Commons/LGPL licence as free software 
for MacOS, Windows and Linux, with sources also available on GitHub.

Further details,downloads,workshops,tutorials and more can be found at 
the CDP website: https://composersdesktop.com/ .
