| You are right Steven, how can I have forgotten this feature? Probably because most of the times I need a legato closer to a piano rather than monophonic. Thank you very much!

Hi Emil,
Negative p3 allows tying notes together:
Richard Dobson has a
chapter in the Csound book entitled "Designing Legato Instruments in Csound." I also have a Csound Journal article called "Exploring Tied Notes in Csound":

Hi, Peter and Steven,
thank you for sending me copies of your answer because I had already left the list
(I thought nobody cared).
I admit that the problem is to separate the attack phase,
frankly I didn't study this instrument that looked a bit difficult for me.
Regarding abs(p3) I don't know if you mean that using a negative p3
will help me render tied notes.
In fact idur is only there for the purpose of helping Csgrouper know
that p3 is an instrument param (probably better regexes would have
made this trick superfluous but at present listing my params at the
beggining of the instrument is the way I found to enable a sure
param finding in my program. This way a table with the correct
number of params is created after updating the instrument.
That's useful because if then you enter correct param names
(the ones that are listed on tab "internal settings") and default value
in the table above the instrument text, then Xfuns are enabled for that
instrument (Xfuns only act on specifically named params).
Sorry to bother again with my program!
All the best,
Emil

Emil,
You've surely already considered this, but just in case:
does your algorithm for legato notes -- i.e., the notes
that are to be connected *to* -- omit the attack phase?

Hi Emil,
I did not look at the code in detail, but I did notice:
idur = p3
If you are using tied notes for legato then you will need to change that to:
idur = abs(p3)
because p3 will be negative. That would certainly cause issues as
idur is used as-is elsewhere in that instrument.
As for flute sounds, have you looked at Lee Zakian's flute instruments?

The zip for Transversal Meditiation has orc/sco files. I've always
enjoyed the sounds in that piece.

Hi,
I've included the Mykelson-Cook's slide flute in my program because
it's a beautiful instrument that represents well the power of Csound in
my opinion, (I hope I didn't break any copyright, I didn't check that,
it probably comes from the Csound book, I'm not sure).
However I've not been able to work out a fast legato with this
instrument. One can see that in the little piece I sculpted in my
program's output (cf.http://www.emilbarton.net76.net/data/ballad.csd) :
as soon as I tried to go fast it got messy and I stopped because the
goal was to illustrate the program, not really to write a ballad.
Does anyone know how to get the best ratio in parameters tuning for legato purpose in this difficult instrument?
Thank you in advance,
Emil
