Subject | [Csnd] Returning and problems with FLTK. |
Hi list, I was a subscriber for awhile earlier this year and I'm back. I'm running 5.08 and usually edit in vim on DebXO (you guessed it, debian build for olpc) inside the gnome's terminal emulator. However, I'd like to start using the FLTK toolkit. The Csound 5 Gui runs .csd files with FLTK widgets just fine, but when I try to run Iain McCurdy's "simplemodulatorcarrier.csd" from here: in vim from the terminal editor, I get the following: First, grey rectangles appear momentarily on the screen, where the FLTK objects usually appear, then . . . "WARNING: (fl_setWidgetValuei): not fully implemented yet; exp=1 WARNING: (fl_setWidgetValuei): not fully implemented yet; exp=1 orch now loaded audio buffered in 400 sample-framed blocks PortAudio V19-devel (built Oct 12 2008) PortAudio; available output devices: 0: CS5535 AUdio: CS5535 Audio (hw:0,0) 1: default 2: dmix Csound tidy up: Segmentation fault inactive allocs returned to freespace end of score. overall amps: 0.0 0.0 overall samples out of range: 0 0 0 errors in performance Elapsed time at end of performance: real: 0.568s, cpu: 0.090s Orchestras with no FLTK elements run fine, although I admit that having the ftable results show up at the bottom rather than just in ascii form is more annoying than helpful. Thanks in advance, Greg |

For any of you wondering . . . my problem was the lack of the flag "-+rtaudio=alsa" I also went ahead and bothered to read the --help and found that the -g flag gets the ascii display of the ftables rather than the graphical. Thank you for not replying for 3 days. |

As far as I can tell, a conversation on this board would have been 2-3 questions away from helping me out. I'm not trying to be rude here, I'm just trying to learn how to use this software while I'm in a bit of a gap w/ regard to instruction (just above beginner) and it's sort of frustrating to see an animated discussion on which linux distro is best for csound when I have a very tangible question about core functionality of the software.

While fltk is a 'core' feature of Csound not that many people use it. Now that the API is available less and less people use the fltk widgets preferring instead to develop their own GUIs. As there are so few people using fltk on the list it's not inconceivable that those select few just didn't have time to respond or they might not have even see the message yet. Please don't let the lack of response put you off posting again on this list, it really is an invaluable resource when it comes to learning Csound. I hope your project works out well.

S'all good. I found a PDF you wrote on using the API - thanks, and thanks for giving an explanation for the lack of response. I don't quite follow your paper, (something about "I really don't know what I'm doing at all") but that's not important right yet. I have other work to do first. FLTK just looked like a quick easy way for me to illustrate a few basics of digital synthesis for a presentation I'm not really qualified to give but ended up committing to for later next month, and I didn't feel like dragging my dying macbook out to a presentation when I would not be at all surprised if it decided to quit working semi-permanently at any moment - It handles csound5gui much more comfortably than the olpc. Getting widgets working from the command line makes for a much less wonky experience with widgets on wimpy RAM amounts and processor speeds. Thank you!

It's probably being mentioned before but Ian McCurdy has a whole load of great lftk examples on his website, iainmccurdy.org. He seems to eat sleep and dream fltk! And if he's reading, I hope the concert went well yesterday! Rory. 2009/10/23 Greg Schroeder |

actually, I think those are the examples I was planning to adapt (credited, of course) for my talk. I take it he's still around in some form? I'd ultimately like to develop something in ncurses, but I am still inexperienced enough as both a musician and programmer that seeing what I like/dislike about others' approach seems a wiser idea for now. On a completely unrelated note, is anyone here using a matrix controller (eg. monome/arduinome) to control csound?

I am indeed still around (in some form). I remember the initial post but infortunately didn't have an answer immediately at hand and had been too busy recently to investigate so I apologise for that Greg. I normally try to make a point of answering questions in my area and questions that haven't been picked up by other list contributors. Many of the people on this list are indeed more occupied with means of interfacing with Csound other than FLTK but there are still many people using FLTK indicated by the 100+ daily visitors I get to my Csound examples page. It is this factor which has encouraged me to continue to update the resource. I am beginning to port my examples to use QuteCsound widgets which probably exceed FLTK in terms of functionality but I think the FLTK widgets continue to offer a useful, self contained and platform and front-end independent means of getting information into Csound.

And Greg does provide a very good reason for using FLTK: compatibility with older/less powerful machines. I would think QuteCsound might be a bit heavy on an underpowered machine, but I would love reports on that.

I tested a version of AudioCarver (which uses the QtCore, QtGui, and QtXml modules) on an old Pentium II with 64MB of ram six months ago, and it took 2.5 minutes for QtCore alone to load, nevermind the rest of the program. Granted, it was an older and slower version of Qt that I was using (it's a bit faster now), but needless to say I won't be trying that again anytime soon =) ----- "Andrés Cabrera" |

Iain, You have a job. This is something I do for fun. No worries. I simply use FLTK at the moment because McCurdy's examples are the only ones in that vein I could locate. I have found another csounds.com hosted site with tb303 emulators and such, but at least for now I'm interested mostly in learning about synthesis in itself, and the FLTK examples on Iain's site have been quite helpful to me and (hopefully) will be to those I will be talking with next month. As far as QuteCsound . . . >From what I've read, QuteCsound is not an obvious choice for AMD Geodes with 256 megs of RAM handy. Csound5gui struggles. I don't see what people have against good old-fashioned text editors and command line calls, tbh.
