Hi - I'm writing an algorithmic composition system (in Ruby at the moment with C to brought in for heavy lifting as needed) that outputs to csound. I'm looking for several instruments to make testing the system easier and wondered if anyone has any suggestions. In particular I'm looking for |

CsoundAC.csd in the Csound examples is designed for exactly this purpose. It doesn't have "blending" or drum sounds, does have some marimba type sounds. Regards, Mike

Iain's collection is pretty extensive. Lots of examples :) http://iainmccurdy.org/csound.html I'm not sure what you mean by your second point? On 29 July 2013 16:09, umptious |

Michael - thank you! I was aware of your work, and I'm "dissing" it in anyway by doing something equivalent - I just want to experiment with some ideas I have had. Brian - yes, that does sound like portamento is the right term. But I want to be able to send note after note to the instrument and have them blend. That's "want" no "need" though! Rory - thanks! And to explain a little more: imagine a siren that can vary its pitch. Or a trumpet hooked to an air hose - the pitch varies as the slide goes in and out but the sound never stops. |
