Hello Csounders,

I am announcing the availability of a Carbonized version of CMask 0.31 for
Macintosh.  I took Andre Bartetzki's original Mac interface and updated it
so that it now runs natively on both MacOS X and MacOS 8-9 (with CarbonLib).
A brief description is given below.  You can download it from here:

Enjoy!

CMask 0.31
Release 2 for Macintosh (Carbon)

CMask is a stochastic score generation tool for Csound that implements its
own high-level language for describing musical gestures.  Just a few lines
of CMask code can create thousands of score events.

CMask was written by Andre Bartetzki and he released the source code for
CMask under the GNU General Public License in 2006.  I am deeply indebted to
Andre for making CMask free software and for sending me the Macintosh
resource files needed to recompile the Mac version of the program.

CMask 0.31 Release 2 should be functionally identical to the previous 0.31
release as far as the CMask language and score generation routines are
concerned.  The Macintosh interface though has been updated in several ways.

Primarily, the entire program has been Carbonized so that it runs natively
on MacOS X.  This version also continues to run on MacOS 8 and 9.  I have
also added functional menus and made it possible to generate scores multiple
times without quitting.  In addition, I have added drag and drop support
between CMask and the Finder.

This release includes the CMask application, a README file about the
changes, a copy of Andre Bartetzki's manual and example files, and the
complete source code.  I want to make it very clear since the README does
not that all included examples are by Andre Bartetzki.  My only contribution
to this package was the updated Macintosh interface.

Thank you Anthony, that's very useful!

BTW, I can't open example parameter files from the file open menu
even if I set option to "All Readable Documents".

Drag and drop works OK.

I'm on OSX10.4.10(PPC).


Best,
Tetsuya Miwa

Great.  Glad that you will be using it. :)

You are the third person to report this problem on 10.4 although the other
two were on Intel Macs -- at least now I know that it is not specific to the
Intel machines.  I have not been able to try out the program on a 10.4
machine yet (my home machine is 10.2 and it works fine on that).  I will try
to figure this out for the next release.

Using drag and drop is what I recommend then :)  I think it is easier
anyways.

Thanks again for the bug report and feedback!
