Mike Haidar is the head of the Software and Systems Technology division of Analog Devices. Two-and-a-half years ago, he had the vision of running software synthesis in real-time on a DSP. He is the business manager of the project, and supervises the directions in which we move. His technical internal team numbers over a dozen; his external team is even larger. Internal team: Barry Vercoe, professor at the MIT Media Lab, is the original author of public Csound. As a consultant to Analog Devices, he designed the structural differences between public Csound and Analog Devices' Extended Csound. He supervises all modifications to Extended Csound and maintains its speed while increasing its functionality. Richard Boulanger, professor of Music Synthesis at the Berklee College of Music, is a leading computer music educator, composer and performer with a special expertise in public Csound. As a consultant to Analog Devices, he advises on software changes, product definitions and general project direction while focusing his creative energies on beta-testing, sound design and instrument modeling. External team: John ffitch maintains the public version of Csound and is recognized worldwide for his contributions to public Csound, including adding public opcodes and managing the communications of the Csound user community. He has done extensive consulting for Analog Devices on Csound to assure that public and Extended Csound work together. Russell Pinkston, professor at the University of Texas at Austin, has developed the Patchwork Windows graphical front end and ported it to Extended Csound. He is a software synthesis expert and Windows developer. At ADI, he consults relating to driver and API issues. Jean Piche, professor at the University of Montreal, and student Alexandre Burton are co-authors of Cecilia, a front-end for Csound which has been ported to Extended Csound. Piche is also a composer and award-winning GUI developer. Omni Digital Systems, consisting of Dustin Barlow and Tim Mielak, developed the Softsamp and CSounder Windows front-ends. Although they have also been ported to Extended Csound, public versions are available at: http://www.omnids.com/software ------------------------------------------------------------------------ ---- Who are some commercial development partners? Denon, Pavo and GeneralMusic have all made public announcements regarding their involvement with Analog Devices' Extended Csound. They can send you copies of their previous public announcements. Here are the links to those companies: http://www.c2i.co.jp/denon/ http://www.pavo.com/ http://www.generalmusic.com/ Who are some Extended Csound evangelists? Robert Cooper, contributor to KEYBOARD Magazine, University of Missouri at Kansas City Dennis Miller, contributor to Sound on Sound and Electronic Musician, Northeastern University Where can I read about Analog Devices Extended Csound? Keyboard, January 1997 Electronic Musician, February 1997 EQ, April 1997 Sound on Sound, April and May, 1997 We have reprints of each of these articles. Let us know if you would like a copy. Where is the project headed? As you may know, Extended Csound is the ultimate sound production tool with the potential to become an integral force in the world of music technology. Our goal is to provide this powerful tool not only to high-end users, but also to people with all levels of musical experience. From grade school kids getting computerized piano lessons to college music majors engineering with Csound, Analog Devices will aggressively pursue commercial initiatives while ensuring that the educational community has access to this technology. We plan to lead the project by making available the latest SHARC DSP chips and development tools, the manufacturing capabilities of our OEMs, the feedback of our consultants and software developers, and the news of how the industry reacts from our evangelists and trade publication editors. We also plan to continue the development team and offer enhancements. As a result of our expanding internal development effort, new opcodes will continue to be developed. Analog Devices believes that Extended Csound will fulfill the anticipation of audio software developers, foley artists, sound effects editors for movies, and other pro-audio professionals in providing the richest environment for effects, enhancement and versatility. Techno, rap and pop artists, in addition to new music composers, will be able to create unique sounds. By enabling real-time editing, Extended Csound will enable broadcasters, concert halls, sports stadiums and live-performance theaters to deliver a level of live audio comparable to edited films screened in digitally-equipped movie theaters. With individualized effects, listeners will be able to compensate for the limitations of their audio equipment, hearing losses, room acoustics, background noise and personal preferences. Audio producers and distributors will enjoy new audiences who will be able to listen to the precise sound which the composer or software developer intended. By combining the power of Csound, the performance of dedicated state-of-the-art hardware and additional opcodes and development tools, and the support of Analog Devices with a dedicated Csound organization, we believe Extended Csound will become an important tool in the electronic music world. It is the uniqueness of this specialized audio hardware, enhancements and additions to the opcodes found in public Csound, the unrivaled expertise of Barry Vercoe, and the support and signal processing experience of Analog Devices which will make Extended Csound a commercial reality. We will keep you posted of future developments.

Here is an update of our progress, our strategy, and how we see it affecting the market. We will send you the next update by October 10th. If you have seen one of our demonstrations (ICMC '96, AES '96, AES '97, WINHEC '97, SEAMUS '97), you will appreciate the incredible power and flexibility Extended Csound provides. Our new hardware platform (the Extended Csound PCI Development board) will provide even more MIPS to run algorithms and support digital multichannel I/O capabilities. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ ---- When will the new hardware and software be available and how much will they cost? It has always been our plan to provide a reference design to enable commercial board vendors to manufacture boards and software developers to write applications. We are currently negotiating with several boards suppliers to offer the hardware. Until these negotiations are completed, please contact us. We have decided to manufacture a specific number of these cards in-house and make them available to all currently identified software developers and board manufacturers. Thus, we will ship an SDK to every identified sound designer who wants one by October 1, 1997. We plan to make an SDK available to everyone who wants one until the boards are available from commercial manufacturers. What does the SDK kit consist of? Extended Csound PCI Development board ADSP-2106x SHARC DSP including 2 Mbyte SRAM, 40 MIPS, 120 MFLOPS, 32-bit floating-point performance, 10 DMA channels, all on-chip 6 out, 2 in SPDIF 6 analog out, 4 in (optional daughter board) MIDI in/out Windows 95 GUI API Extended Csound executables Launcher application Manual Example and test instruments Extended Csound Tutorials Benchmarks Bill of Materials Installation documents How to make the transition from public to Extended Csound efficiently and under MIDI control All necessary cables Directory names Analog Devices technical and developer support contacts List of recommended games, MIDI apps, and MIDI files Technical differences between public and Extended Csound A definitive book on Public Csound, edited by Richard Boulanger, published by MIT Press, sent separately in January, 1998 SHARC specifications SHARC tools (optional) To cover a portion of the cost of these hand-coded cards, ADI will offer them at a published list price of $1000. For developers requiring SHARC DSP tools, there will be a small additional fee. These tools enable linking of custom opcodes and programming aids for the SHARC DSP.

The most well-known are the "BinHex" format (7-bit ASCII data, similar to uuencode) and the "MacBinary II" format (8-bit binary). The latter is nothing more than a header followed by the unencoded resource fork, followed by the unencoded data fork. - Mac Transfer software normally deals with conversion issues automatically with the intent to keep the conversion transparent. Now, being a cross-platform format, MIDI files do not have a resource fork, even on Macs. Therefore, you have to find a way to instruct your transfer software NOT to use any conversion (sometimes called just "Binary"). Plus, as James pointed out, make sure the file ends in ".midi" or ".mid" and doesn't contain characters that may interfere with URL's, such as ' ', '%', '&', ';', etc. Hope that helps, -Tobias -- James Andrews, maths CDO, ext.3977 Received: from stork.maths.bath.ac.uk by omphalos.maths.Bath.AC.UK id aa21303; 28 Aug 97 16:03 BST Received: from pat.bath.ac.uk by stork.maths.Bath.AC.UK id aa06034; 28 Aug 97 16:03 BST Received: (qmail 25294 invoked from network); 28 Aug 1997 15:03:06 -0000 Received: from hermes.ex.ac.uk (144.173.6.14) by pat.bath.ac.uk with SMTP; 28 Aug 1997 15:03:06 -0000 Received: from noether [144.173.8.10] by hermes via SMTP (PAA10734); Thu, 28 Aug 1997 15:58:57 +0100 Received: from zeno by maths.exeter.ac.uk; Thu, 28 Aug 97 15:58:32 +0100 From: james@maths.ex.ac.uk Message-Id: <19859.199708281458@zeno.maths.exeter.ac.uk> Subject: BOUNCE Csound: Non-member submission from [jesus ] (fwd) To: csound@maths.ex.ac.uk Date: Thu, 28 Aug 1997 15:58:31 +0100 (BST) Reply-To: fauno@redestb.es X-Mailer: ELM [version 2.4 PL25] Mime-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=US-ASCII Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit Content-Length: 1516 Sender: owner-csound-outgoing@maths.ex.ac.uk Precedence: bulk owner-csound-outgoing wrote >From owner-csound-outgoing Tue Aug 26 14:28:06 1997 From: owner-csound-outgoing Date: Tue, 26 Aug 97 14:28:06 GMT Message-Id: <16718.9708261428@maths.exeter.ac.uk> To: owner-csound-outgoing Subject: BOUNCE Csound: Non-member submission from [jesus ] >From fauno@pop3.redestb.es Tue Aug 26 15:28:01 1997 remote from Received: from hermes.ex.ac.uk by maths.exeter.ac.uk; Tue, 26 Aug 97 15:28:01 +0100 Received: from tinet0.redestb.es [194.179.106.117] by hermes via ESMTP (PAA23686); Tue, 26 Aug 1997 15:27:56 +0100 Message-Id: <199708261427.PAA23686@hermes> Received: from fclients0.redestb.es ([194.179.106.116]) by tinet0.redestb.es (Post.Office MTA v3.1 release PO203a ID# 0-0U10L2S100) with ESMTP id AAA195; Tue, 26 Aug 1997 16:32:32 +0200 Received: from [195.77.84.133] by fclients0.redestb.es (Post.Office MTA v3.1 release PO203a ID# 0-0U10L2S100) with SMTP id AAA169; Tue, 26 Aug 1997 16:28:38 +0200 Subject: Spectral Dynamics in CSOUND Date: Tue, 26 Aug 97 16:32:07 +0200 X-Sender: fauno@pop3.redestb.es X-Mailer: Claris Emailer 1.1 From: jesus To: "csound" Mime-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset="US-ASCII" Does anyone Know if there is an implementation of the Spectral Dynamics Algorithm of SoundHack (Tom Erbe) developed in Csound?

If I type in orc and sco parameters in the modules window, it works fine. I can preview it, or write it to disk and play it. I can also save as a module or orc/sco pair. But I can't load any files from disk. When I go to the file menu and select Open... the fileselect box appears and I can select a file and the file name appears in the file rectangle, but when I click ok, nothing happens. The box just disappears and no file is loaded. I get the same behavior with orc and module files. The only thing I can load is a score from the module window's file menu. Whatever file I select will appear in the bottom pane. The only way I can load an orc/sco pair without typing them manually, is to first load the orc file into the score pane then paste it into its proper pane. Then I load the score and I can process the module. For some reason I can't paste in text from another application, or even from the module window's scratch editor (I can load files into the scratch editor). Have anyone else ever experienced a problem like this? Could this be a bug in the Linux port? The only other thing I can think of is that possibly I am missing a particular library on my system. I am running Debian 1.3.1, which I installed via ftp, and have had to install lots of components individually, which I gather is not necessary when installing from a CD. For example, I just obtained a copy of vplay from Dave Phillips. The first time I tried to run it I got an an error message saying libc4 could not be found. So I got it from the Debian ftp site and installed it. Then vplay ran fine. But if the problem were a missing library, wouldn't I get an error message like I did with vplay? Can anyone help me solve this problem? Thanks, David Densmore
