I was able to get Csound 5.17 to work on Windows 7. I had several old
versions that were causing trouble. Thank you everyone who helped me get it
working, jpff especially.

To celebrate, here's the latest piece in my series of microtonal works for
Csound using samples. This one uses the 72 equal divisions of the octave,
which is a snap in Csound. 

You can listen to it here:

More information on the technique and the tuning on earlier blog posts

I had an old version or six still on my machine. I deleted all the old
versions I could find, deleted Csound in Program Files, and reinstalled. It
works now. Thanks jpff!

I've been using Csound_AV since 2005, but now that I've moved off Windows XP
to Windows 7, I'd like to move to a more current release of Csound. I just
downloaded Csound5.17-gnu-win32-d.exe from SoundForge this morning, and I'm
getting the Segmentation violation on all input files. Here's the simplest I
could make, and it fails too:




-o sflib\test.wav




sr = 44100
ksmps=10
nchnls=2
; Toot #1
     instr 1
        a1     oscil     10000, 440, 1
                    out  a1
     endin




; Run this with its corresponding score file, toot1.sco :

        f1     0    4096 10   1    ; use "gen1" to compute a sine wave
        i1     0    4              ; run "instr 1" from time 0 for 4 seconds
        e                          ; indicate the "end" of the score





End result:

tidy up: Segmentation violation

I see some discussion in the mailing list, but no answers.

I have no idea what you're doing with the Pascal code, but I like "June
Gloom" a lot. It reminds me a bit of Frank Zappa's "Jazz from Hell" LP,
which he did using a Synclavier. The marimba rhythms and the bassoon-like
tones are very similar.

I like the piece from May too, the one with all of the sliding guitar
chords.
