Dear Menno! Why don't you give yourself credit for any of the 100s of examples you have updated in the manual? Some examples are signed by their authors, but not yours? Credit where credit is due man!

Speaking of examples, I also found some of my code in the outletk and inletk examples. On 11/23/11, Rory Walsh |

You are right Adam, i did use your example. Normally i contact the person and ask him if his example can be used in the manual. I did not contact you, somehow i forgot, i don't know why. I apologize. If you want i will take the example out - which would be a pity, because this example for inletk and outletk exactly meets the conditions i think that makes it the perfect example for these 2 opcodes: it's simple, plain and good. There are lots of opcodes for which i do not know an example, so i browse the mailing list archive and collect examples. The examples found will give me an idea what the original opcode was designed for, then i try to simplify it so, that the core of the opcode remains and all the luxury is gone. Most of the times the remaining example will have no direct comparison with the example i found; no need to contact the creator of the example. In your case, Adam, i forgot. regards, Menno -- View this message in context: http://csound.1045644.n5.nabble.com/manual-examples-Dear-Menno-tp5017084p5017470.html Sent from the Csound - General mailing list archive at Nabble.com.

Meno, You have my permission to keep it in the manual. I was glad to see my code there. On 11/23/11, menno |

Hi Rory, Richard, Francesco, Adam, first of all: thanks for your permission, Adam, and for your great example on behalf of the inletk/outletk opcodes! I will tell you some of my reasons why i decided not to put my name to the examples i have put in the manual. First of all, i like a manual to be as clean as possible, without any distraction and giving full focus on the (use of) the opcode. Another reason is that i do not want to see my name all over the place; i have put my name in the Preface of the manual, so i will never be forgotten :) Also: it's all about exposing the potential of an opcode, that could have stayed a black box for many people, including me! This leads to yet another reason: i found that it is - for me - a very good way to learn Csound, and also to get in contact with other Csounders so that i can learn even more. This is my reward. There are several people that help me in my project and it's fun to discuss with them how to proceed for a particular example. Putting all those names in would would give the manual page an even fuzzier look, so i prevent that by not putting in any names at all. Like i said, i browse the mailing list archive and if i find an example of that particular opcode, i tweak it until only the heart of that opcode remains. So i look at the work of other people and reorganize that, simplify it. Lots of information is already there, you just have to take the time to put it in the right place. But sometimes it is not so obvious when an example becomes "my" code, it is a grey erea. I think it's stupid to change a vco2 for a pluck opcode and then say it's mine! No, it's open source. Of course there are dozens examples that i made all alone. And i just want to have a good example for every opcode and if no one is doing that job i will. That's open source too: i have the power.... There are more reasons - but i do not want to bother you with my troubled youth :) (joke i hope) I want you to know that i feel in perfect balance with my decision not putting my name on every page of the manual. bye, Menno -------------My music----------------- http://www.jamendo.com/de/album/6789/ http://www.jamendo.com/en/album/7428/ -------------My work----------------- http://members.home.nl/mag.knevel/ --- On Thu, 11/24/11, francesco |

I understand your reasons -- I found it embarassing to have my name in the manual so often until I realised it was just so users would know whom to blame. ==John ff > Hi Rory, Richard, Francesco, Adam, > > first of all: thanks for your permission, Adam, and for your great example > on behalf of the inletk/outletk opcodes! > > I will tell you some of my reasons why i decided not to put my name to the > examples i have put in the manual. > First of all, i like a manual to be as clean as possible, without any > distraction and giving full focus on the (use of) the opcode. > Another reason is that i do not want to see my name all over the place; i > have put my name in the Preface of the manual, so i will never be > forgotten > :) > Also: it's all about exposing the potential of an opcode, that could have > stayed a black box for many people, including me!

Allright, why not... tell them also the work is not done :) (Working on the letter V at the moment and i want to look into the GEN's examples too.) And point them to the list with opcodes i could not provide examples for : http://www.csounds.com/node/1394 Also i'm thinking about a Play button on every manual page that should play an OGG file of that example. It would be nice that for instance you are looking for a filter you can quickly browse the examples to hear what different filters sound like. But perhaps that way people can become too lazy and not try out different seetings of the same filter...don't know yet. Feedback is appreciated. And the manual would become much bigger in Mbytes, although that is not a problem anymore these days.

That's a great idea I think. I'll be happy to help out with rendering the examples and converting them to OGG. Gives me an excuse to go through all the opcodes I don't know. Although I will only have the time after January. P On 24 November 2011 17:33, menno |

Yes John i think that is the best argument of putting one's name on ones work. It's shows who is responsible for that work. And i think when you are a developer and create an opcode from scratch, then it would be welcome to sign it off with the name of the creator. Every artist does that. But i do not see myself as a creator on that level: the opcode is already there. But i do see that the manual and its contents sometimes lack transparency because of this missing of simple examples. It is by running an example i personally get the "aha-erlebnis". A connection between my heart (by means of my ears) and the sometimes mathematical text comes alive. And my guess is that for some newcomers to Csound it might work like that too. greetings Menno -- View this message in context: http://csound.1045644.n5.nabble.com/manual-examples-Dear-Menno-tp5017084p5021197.html Sent from the Csound - General mailing list archive at Nabble.com.

Hello Menno, It's Thanksgiving Day here in the US. I really appreciate all your work on these examples Menno. And all the work that everyone has been doing on Csound - this year and over the years. There is a lot to be Thankful for... for sure. Dr. B.
