[Csnd] Survey of Floats Vs. Doubles

I'm trying to figure out if I should be developing Csoundo initially for the floats or doubles version of Csound, though I have no idea which is more commonly used these days. I know the installer for OS X comes with both (though both csnd.jars point to the floats, which is an entirely different issues.) I'm unsure of the Windows and Linux pre-compiled binaries, as I couldn't find an information regarding this at sourceforge. And someone told me that Ubuntu ships with Csound doubles. Are there any other packages out there I should be aware of? Best, Jake |

I only use the doubles version, even for realtime stuff. I'm on Windows. The Windows binaries are always released in both float and double versions, though the installers for 5.12 are still pending AFAIK. - Dave On 8/22/2010 10:33 AM, Jacob Joaquin wrote: > I'm trying to figure out if I should be developing Csoundo initially > for the floats or doubles version of Csound, though I have no idea > which is more commonly used these days. > > I know the installer for OS X comes with both (though both csnd.jars > point to the floats, which is an entirely different issues.)

But this will change. From next release, the 'default' installed jar will point to doubles.

I mainly used floating because of Cecilia and some other applications.

I use only doubles. However, others who more frequently use Csound in real-time play should be consulted. Regards, Mike On Sun, Aug 22, 2010 at 10:33 AM, Jacob Joaquin |

I would just like to add that I certainly hope you do develop Csoundo for doubles rather than float. I have been playing around with Processing and really like it and look forward to using it with Csound once I have gained some experience with the language. OT - If interested, check out these scrolling text rollover buttons I made yesterday with Processing.

I have also switched to using doubles for all purposes, also realtime. When making some examples for my DSP class, I discovered some rahter serious differences in output between the two versions. For example when doing bit reduction, I would get spurious "overshoots" with the floats version. So it's not only about sound quality, but generally doubles give more precise signal processing. best Oeyvind 2010/8/22 Brian Wong |

Only use doubles, self compiled Csound on 32 bit Linux (Arch). Even for realtime, even on a netbook. Doubles rock harder: http://www.vimeo.com/12716797 |

Interesting replies. I'll make the next release of QuteCsound for OS X doubles, then (for windows, both versions are built by Andy). Cheers, Andrés On Mon, Aug 23, 2010 at 2:18 AM, Jacob Joaquin |

I've been meaning to get into Processing for a while now (no such plans for Max or Pd), and I'm excited about Csoundo as I think it will provide the impetus I need to get myself moving in that direction. Thanks for your work, Jake. - Dave On 8/22/2010 9:18 PM, Jacob Joaquin wrote: > On Sun, Aug 22, 2010 at 11:13 AM, Brian Wong |
