Dear List,


is there a way to get 24 bit *multichannel* output from any version of
Csound running on a mac? What I do need is the ability to output
several mono- files at once (not in realtime). fout, soundout etc. are
limited to a sample size of 16 bit. Maybe it would be a good idea to
enhance some in/out opcodes to be capable of dealing with 24 bit audio?
But what can I do as a quick solution?

Any ideas welcome.


Cheers,

Jan Jacob

I have recently added support for many new sample formats (including
24 bit integers) and file types to fout in Csound 5, although not sure
if this is of much interest to you. I also recall new formats being
added to the MacCsound version of fout by Matt Ingalls, but I do not
remember if 24 bit integers are included.
