Dear members of the Csound community,
I'm very excited to announce the release of "quince".
quince is a modular editor which is open source, plug-in based and very flexible.
The most important thing about quince is that it is similar to a daw in some ways,
but it does not operate in the "tape recorder vs mixing desk -paradigm".
There are five short tutorial videos on the quince website ( http://quince.maximilianmarcoll.de )
and on youtube ( http://www.youtube.com/view_play_list?p=07B8762B87215C1D )
which try to explain what quince is and how it can be used.
One reason to post this on the Csound mailing list is that quince comes with the CsoundPlayer,
a plug-in, that plays sequences using Csound in realtime.
It allows you to edit your Csound code within quince while you can arrange your score graphically.
(thus, quince can be used as a front end for Csound.)
quince can very easily be extended.
Almost everything in quince is a plug-in that communicates to the quince-api.
Writing your own custom views, functions, and players is pretty straight forward.
quince has not yet reached its 1.0 release. I still consider it to be in its beta phase.
Although there are still some performance issues - and bugs, of course -
I sincerely hope, that some of you will find it helpful.
Maybe there even is someone out there who would like to help in the development?
In any case, I'd be happy if you'd let me know what you think.
Unfortunately, quince only runs on mac os x so far.
(10.5 and later, although I recommend 10.6.)
You can download the binary release at http://quince.maximilianmarcoll.de
The sources (ObjC) are available at github: http://github.com/mmax/quince
Thank you!
All the best,
Max

| Hello Max, I just wanted to say that quince it pretty awesome. I love the fact that it is so flexible and gives me the freedom to go beyond the the usual track sequencer paradigm. I also love that it can be extended. Does quince use a scripting language? Any chance it could support python? Any plans to port this to Windows? I would love to be able to use this with csound!

Thank you very much for your feedback! I am indeed planning to add a scripting layer in quince, and the language of choice will probably be python. However, I don't know when this will be done. Regarding portability, I guess it should be possible to create a running version using the GNUstep framework. (GNUstep runs on a number of platforms including Windows and Linux, so I think this is the way to go.) But again, unfortunately, I don't know when I will have the time to do it.
