[with apologies for any multiple posts]

This is to announce that the Composers Desktop Project is now a UK 
social enterprise - a non profit-making limited company with (in the 
required legal sense) "charitable aims", i.e. education outreach. Our 
updated home page explains it all in more detail:

http://www.composersdesktop.com/

People will find that the noteworthy acronym GPL now appears there, 
along with a date.

This is all to further our goals to get Sound and Music Computing into 
UK schools, which as discussed already in recent threads, will of course 
include promoting Csound (but not exclusively!).

That's part of the plan; we need to do some work to create some 
libraries. The audio code is deeply convolved, so to speak, with the 
code associated with Soundloom. In that sense it really is an integrated 
"system". Extracting the audio code is not necessarily straightforward. 
By no means does all of it support real-time streaming. The pvoc tools 
will be the easiest to deal with, so they will be at the top of the 
list. Of course Csound already has processes such as "blur" and pitch 
shift, so I will attempt to prioritise things that would be new. The 
initial release will just be the system in its current form, but able to 
install on Linux.

Some of them can probably be done; it remains to be seen to what extent 
it can be a port, rather than a deep re-implementation. Real-time 
streaming is unlikely except in a handful of cases (and with some 
latency), it will need to be based on a diskin-like model or f-tables.


Another prime target for such porting is the Nyquist Prompt in Audacity, 
which I am currently exploring (not least because Audacity is a standard 
resource in schools). It is all offline processing, and the script can 
return less or more audio than was supplied. I once had great hopes for 
the VST "Offline" plugin mode, but since even Steinberg themselves 
scarcely supported it in their own products, it became clear that the 
effort was unlikely to be rewarded with lots of customers!

Great news ! Now I have to figure some way to absolutely ensure my 
existence until next February at least. :)

Best,

PS: The flute work got stalled but is still on my TODO list. I intend to 
redo the music according to your suggestions, I just need some extra 
time to get it done, hopefully sooner than later. Sorry for the delay.

Best,

I am thinking along the lines of extracting the essential code into one 
or more libraries (for general use, not just Csound), which would then 
use LGPL.
