Subject[Csnd] Licencing suggestions
I am building a sound synthesis application using the Eclipse RCP framework
(EPL)
CSOUND (LGPL)
APACHE CXF (ASF)
and other libraries based on the bsd licence

My question is: what licence or dual licence setup do I require to make my
project as
accessible as possible to the csound community and other open source
developers?

Look forward to hearing from you!

Subject[Csnd] FMID and Triing
Attachmentsfmid-03.blue  
Triing is a piece on did on a Sony PSP with the "Beaterator" software by Rockstar Games. A short (.125 second) sample from an additive Csound synth was used to create the keyboard pad in Beaterator. Other than that, the whole thing was done using the PSP.
http://soundcloud.com/brian-wong/triing
Fmid-1 is a blue project I made last year for a FM midi synth. I never bothered releasing it, because it does not use Steven's new midi framework and I am really waiting to see what he comes up with before spending much time on midi. I don't really use midi much.
Nonetheless, possibly some people might find it useful as an example or possibly even in a composition. It is a simple single-operator FM synth created with blueSynthBuilder; with FM modulation index linked adjustably to the modwheel, microtonally adjustable pitchbend and alternate tunings with keyboard mapping. One nice feature of the implementation is that partial keyboard mappings are possible; an examples are included of 12-TET and 5-TET (black keys only) tunings and keyboard mappings.
Additionally you can uncomment the last three lines of instrument code to record your playing to a soundfile. Don't expect miracles with this; on my feeble old computer at least the results are less than impressive. Playing too many notes or too fast turns the output to trash. That pertains whether or not the recording is on, but is of course much worse when recording to disk.
Please find a copy of FMID-03.blue attached to this file. Comments welcome.

Subject[Csnd] looptseg manual errors
I just installed v5.13 and trying out the looptseg opcode for the 1st time I notice some problems with the documentation in the manual.
It currently reads as :ksig looptseg kfreq, ktrig, ktime0, kvalue0, ktype, [, ktime1] [,ktype1] [, kvalue1] \

      [, ktime2] [,ktype2] [, kvalue2] [...]From what I can tell I think it should read :
ksig looptseg kfreq, ktrig, ktime0, kvalue0, ktype, [, ktime1] [,kvalue1] [, ktype1] \

      [, ktime2] [, kvalue2] [...]

Hm, this could possibly be a subject where a long discussion could be
written. It has also been discussed at some length before.
Others on this list will probably have more detailed information about
the pros and cons of different licenses.
For my own projects, I have been using GPL and LGPL. I think that LGPL
will give the most freedom to the users, as it is allows more
combinations with other kinds of licenses in case someone wants to use
parts of your code in another project. However, as I said, it is a
long discussion, and only you can know what will be acceptable for
your work.

Subject[Csnd] Csound AU instrument?
I suppose there is a good reason there is no AU version of Csound, but as someone who just bought a Mac for the 1st time I am not aware of what the reason is. In view of the VST licensing issues I have read mentioned by Mr. Gogins, I am guessing there are AU licensing issues also. Can anyone provide me with any information on this topic? Is there any interest in a Csound AU among other Csounders out there?

That would be really great Rory! I just emptied my bank account and bought a Macbook Pro and an Eigenharp Pico ( http://www.eigenlabs.com/product/pico/ ), and hope that I can learn to use a Csound AU and OSC to make synths for it. No rush though, it will take me a few weeks just to make a start on assimilating the EigenD documentation. :)

I checked their website, and read that though OSC support is planned in the indefinite future, it is not yet available. MIDI control of Csound would be possible now with the Eigenharp, but the MIDI output is only a compressed version, losing a significant amount of info. MIDI is not fast enough to fully handle the amount of data necessary. I am not sure if or how the AU would work without OSC.

SubjectRE: [Csnd] Csound AU instrument?
Thanks Rory! I have had little time so far to play with it yet, but my experience so far has been very positive. I love the responsive and sensitivity of the keys of the instrument. The keys are so sensitive that I can create smooth swells by finger pressure alone (with non-percussive sounds) and latency seems impressively low. Of course the extreme responsiveness of the keys means it is really easy to play at the wrong volume or to bend a note by mistake.

SubjectRE: [Csnd] Csound AU instrument?
Yes, it can load plugins, AU or VST, depending on platform I think. It also loads SF2 Soundfonts, and comes with a reduced feature version of Alchemy. The more uncommon feature is the two physical models, cello and clarinet. They are very cool, and played by an expert can sound surprisingly good. Hopefully these two physical models are just a start, and the announced opening up of the instrument design language to the user community seems like a very promising development.

SubjectRe: [Csnd] Csound AU instrument?
Even soft MIDI is not fast enough? I actually don't know this for sure, but I had the impression the transmission speed of MIDI was only over physical devices. That is, inside the computer using an interapplication driver, the baud rate did not apply. Does anyone know whether this is true?

It's a shame that they lock in their hardware with their software, not a very open approach.

But this language is unlikely to be as full featured as Csound, SC3 or PD. They need to provide a more open framework.

SubjectRE: [Csnd] Csound AU instrument?
Victor,
Here is the substance of an email (quoted by permission) from John Lambert, CEO of Eigenlabs, sent to me in response to my query about Csound interoperability and algorithmic composition.
> We don't have any plans to build any algorithmic composition directly in to EigenD at the moment. We do however plan to make the basic intra Agent (Agents are the primary unit of code inside EigenD) protocol OSC compatible in the relatively near future, which will allow you to run cSound as a separate process (or as a VST in a suitable host) and communicate with EigenD directly. We've taken our first step towards this with Stage already, which uses OSC as its network control protocol. You can also use MIDI to get data out of EigenD - we now have extensive and highly configurable gateway Agents in the basic factory setups.

I personally find algorithmically driven composition and performance a fascinating area, one little explored in popular music to date and would be greatly interested to see the Eigenharp used in this area.BW

SubjectRe: [Csnd] Csound AU instrument?
If they are going to open up the source then I don't think it would be
difficult to build a Csound 'agent'. Can the software run without an
Eigenharp? If not then your will probably have to develop the agent
yourself. If not let me know when the source is released and I'll see
if I can add an Eigenharp agent into my current work. It looks like
I'll be on OSX for the summer.

Rory.
