official version compiled on linux works well for me (would you send
the orchestra file, or at least the part that uses %)

Netscape and IE cannot connect to the bath server, while I am able to
download files using FAR manager, or other ftp client programs

sure, although i should mention that the offending version is consound
3.58.

ia	mod	ib, ic
says 'illegal opcode' or 'unknown opcode', cant remember the exact error
code, but it hasnt heard of 'mod'

ia =3D ib%ic
it complains about the character '%', and fails. =20

the orchestra i am using runs fine on unofficial-linux-csound v
3.57.0.1e
i also tried versions down to 3.55 from the montreal server and they
gave the same problem.  maybe an important c file is being left out of
the official version.

Hi CSounders

I just wanted to express my thanks to everyone that offered advice about my
upcoming computer purchase.  I have thought it over and I think Michael
Gogins had it right.  I would need to learn MUCH to actually assemble (and
research the parts, etc.) the computer of my dreams.  At least for now, I
would rather spend that time learning and experimenting more with CSound
(and Logic, for that matter).

As a recap of the advice I received:
1) go with SCSI - one person suggested Seagate Cheetah SCSI drives.
2) max out RAM - right now I am looking at 384 Meg (maybe more, depending on
finances)
3) Probably go with a MOTU 2048 and 1224 digital and analog I/O system
(although some folks expressed reservations about MOTU's PC support - I will
still investigate Event, Lexicon and others) (I'm still open to suggestions
if anyone out there has any more advice on their experiences)
4) SCSI CD-burner and CD-Rom (separate drives)
5) sundry additions (primarily a network card for printing Finale files)

In any event, thank everyone for their advice, and thanks to the list for
being supportive of my waste of bandwidth.  I promise I won;t make a habit
of it.

Rob Howiler

Hi all:

I have been experimenting with the passive nonlinear filters described by Scott
Van Duyne in various publications. To test these out, I converted one of my
reverb orchestras into a gong. The allpass coefficients in my orchestra have
frequencies that are calculated using the bilinear z-transform, as I find this
much easier to work with than values such as -.384.  I have found that with
allpass frequency values between 100 and 300 Hz, the delay line is detuned
nicely. Even a single delay line (in the standard Karplus-Strong configuration)
will sound bell-like with an allpass filter in this frequency range placed
within the feedback loop.

It is worth noting that Jens Groh posted an orchestra about a month ago that
works on similar principles - a feedback delay network reverb, converted into a
gong using the passive nonlinear filter. However, I didn't see his orchestra
until I had completed mine. Convergent evolution is pretty cool!

Sounds like a good setup. Don't forget some good mics and preamps, and make
sure your audio recording software and hardware uses ASIO drivers (or the
equivalent) so computer latency doesn't screw up real-time monitoring and
overdubbing.

Hi CSounders

I just wanted to express my thanks to everyone that offered advice about my
upcoming computer purchase.  I have thought it over and I think Michael
Gogins had it right.  I would need to learn MUCH to actually assemble (and
research the parts, etc.) the computer of my dreams.  At least for now, I

As a recap of the advice I received:
1) go with SCSI - one person suggested Seagate Cheetah SCSI drives.
2) max out RAM - right now I am looking at 384 Meg (maybe more, depending on

3) Probably go with a MOTU 2048 and 1224 digital and analog I/O system
(although some folks expressed reservations about MOTU's PC support - I will
still investigate Event, Lexicon and others) (I'm still open to suggestions
if anyone out there has any more advice on their experiences)
4) SCSI CD-burner and CD-Rom (separate drives)
5) sundry additions (primarily a network card for printing Finale files)

In any event, thank everyone for their advice, and thanks to the list for

Isn't the class of a sound more accurately defined by the score?  I seek a
numerical method to define the palette of my sounds, only later to discover the
canvas.

Why all this dashing about with sine waves?  The whole thing about art is that
it defies the reductive explanation.  So perhaps Csound wasn't my artist's tool
any more than the wood-lathe and splines of my luthier?

(no numbers or special characters have been harmed in the production of this
musing).

From: Marc 3 Poirier 
Subject: 2 real-time Csound questions

	Hello.  I am a novice at real-time Csound & have a couple of questions:

	1)  Is it possible to have real-time sound output during instrument
rendering & have that sound written to a file at the same time?
	2)  I want to use two controllers on my MIDI keyboard as my realtime
inputs.  What exactly do I have to do to do this?  I have included these
controller initializing statements in my ORC file (although I don't know
whether they are necessary):

initc7 imidchan, imodwheel, 0
initc7 imidchan, ivolume, 0

(In my ORC file, "imidchan" = 1, "imodwheel" = 1, & "ivolume" = 7.)  I also
included the -M flag in the command line when compiling in Consound.  After
it, I put "sbmidi" because the Csound help file says:

- -M dnam	read MIDI realtime events from device 'dnam' (must be sbmidi)

Csound crashes every time I run this instrument.  When I render it in
Winsound, there is a box for "MIDI Device" in the "Additional Arguements"
window, but there are no options in the box, so I don't pick anything.
Winsound crashes every time, too.  What am I doing wrong?  Do I need to do
anything else?  I use the latest versions of Winsound & Consound on Windows
98 & I use a Turtlebeach Pinnacle soundcard for my MIDI port.

Thank you,
Marc Poirier
