Hi all,

I made a sruti-box-inspired drone instrument a few years ago using 
Csound and FLTK, and with lots of help from Art Hunkins' realtime 
expertise -- for reference, you can get it here:
http://mysterybear.net/article/8/drone-instrument-sruti-box

Here (attached) is a new version written using QuteCsound.  I'm very 
happy that QuteCsound allowed my to rewrite this in a more elegant and 
compact manner.  And of course I know more about Csound then I did five 
years ago, so I think this version sounds better as well.

To use it, open in QuteCsound and click the "Start" button.  You can 
then set the frequency ratios and octave for the individual drones and 
turn them on and off.  There are several global setting: the base 
frequency against which the rations are computed; the waveform to use, 
and effects ("Risset" means the Risset harmonic arpeggio).

I'm open to comments and suggestions for improvements (including new 
features).  This is my first QuteCsound project, so I'm still learning. 
  For people with QuteCsound experience, what technique would you use to 
indicate that something is "on"?  I used labels that show a "+" symbol 
for each drone, but it would be nice to have something a little more 
graphical.

Hi Dave,

This is beautiful. Would you mind if I include it in the QuteCsound examples?

A way to show smething is on, can be to use a controller widget and
set it to one or zero, that way it looks like a led. But I think in
this case it might actually be better to use a latch button which is
available in svn.

Cheers,
Andrés

hi dave -

sounds very nice! for the "on" status, i would use a controller  
widget. i made a version which is attached.

when i turn off one tone, the end is rather harsh. do you think a  
little fade out could be good?

thanks and bye -

	joachim

Thanks, Joachim!

I've incorporated your "on" widgets, it's a better solution.  Added your 
name to the credits as well.

I also added a new effect: binaural beating (shhh, don't tell the FDA).

Thanks, Andres!  I would be honored to have it included, but let's wait 
a couple of days to see what changes.  I already added Joachim's patch 
with the controller widget, and I added a binarual beating effect as 
well; maybe other people will have suggestions or fixes too.  You can 
see the new version (now numbered as 2.1 -- 1.0 was the FLTK version) 
attached to my replay to Joachim.

Oh, I also fixed the turn off problem, thanks for pointing that out. 
Very easy to fix, just switched from linen to linenr.

Hi Dave,

Great! Let me know when you feel it's ready for inclusion. The next
release is still a few months away so you have plenty of time.


Cheers,
Andrés
