Subject[ANN] Cabel - a GUI for building opcode based csound instruments
Hi *,

finally we managed to make our first release of cabel.

Homepage: http://cabel.sourceforge.net

Cabel is a python based GUI for building opcode based csound instruments
by patching opcode modules with cablelike connections. Those modules are
normal csound opcodes wrapped in XML files so you can extend cabel with
your own modules. It's something like a toy construction kit for playing
with opcode parameters.

Sadly there's still no instruction manual, so here are some advices for
using cabel:

- have a look at the patches in the examples subdirectory
- right mouse click on workspace to open the modules menu
- double click on module to change its parameters
- right click on module to open context menu to delete it
- use the play/stop button in the lower right corner to start and stop
  the csound process
- if autoplay (beside play/stop button) is checked then a running csound
  process is restarted when changing a module parameter

The next few tasks are removing bugs, improving the installation
instructions and writing a german instruction manual (this is an
university project). But we plan to translate this manual to english
and add some features you may suggest.

have fun,
   Sebastian
