SubjectRe: Changes in delayr/delayw
Hello again,

I found a way to improve the backward compatibility of the recently
modified delayr/delayw/deltap opcodes while maintaining the advantages
of the modifications for delay line cross-coupling.

The source code file "Ugens6.c" should be changed as follows:

At the beginning of the function delrset(), replace the line:
    if (last_delayr != NULL) { /* fifo not empty */
by the line:
    if (first_delayr != NULL) { /* fifo not empty */

In the function delwset(), remove the line:
      last_delayr = NULL;

A deltap (or deltapi or deltap3 or deltapn) opcode that follows a
delayr/delayw pair (or the last of a group of interleaved delayr/delayw
pairs) instead of being placed inside the pair is no more considered as
error but works as it originally did.

That is, the well-known "Xanadu" orchestra works again.

Greetings,
Jens Groh

I'm using QT 2.5, and I can play AIFF files with "Movie Player" without
problems. I don't know if it's the "Movie Player" application that converts
AIFF files or if it is done automatically by the QuickTime extension, but
it works.

Thanks much, to all.  Yep, I did put the file in the correct place.  It
still doesn't work, though.  I suspect it may be trying to do something
that requires the fpu, but I'm not sure.  (stands to reason there are some
things that the machines with more power can do that I can't)  It is only
that one thing though, so I think I can live without it.

That is interesting to note too, about the QT player being there with QT
2.5.  It's been a long time since I had it, and I'm sure I never used the
player.  (means nothing, I've regarded it as a kind of albatros because
I've had no use for it 'til now.)  It is kinda strange to think of sound as
a type of "movie", isn't it.  8-)

Now is when the real study begins, and I appreciate all the help getting
started.  I have put the quick reference summary from the manual on an
Obiwan database, so if anybody with a mac and Obiwan wants it, just holler.
I'll be happy to send it to you, or I suppose I could put it up on my
website if the manual author has no objections.  (for those who don't know,
Obiwan is a shareware ($10) app that keeps a database in the background
which you can call up with a keystroke, and paste selected contents to
whatever file you've got open.  very handy.)

Why is it that soundin is always much lower than the actual aiff file
that I use?

soundin will read samples from the input file at the 
performance a-rate (same as sr).
If this is not the same as the original soundfile sample
rate, pitch will change. 
diskin to the rescue: try something like

    ; assuming sr of the original file is 48 kHz
    aL, aR diskin "myLittleBleep.aif", 48000 / sr

perhaps.

orchestra doesn't work:

It works well with winsound.

Sender: owner-csound-outgoing@maths.ex.ac.uk Precedence: bulk Many months ago I changed the code so the number of labels was not an absolute limit, but there was always something odd in the code. I have finally tracked this down, and now have a version where the message LABELS list is full...extending to xxx is not a disaster. The other manifestation of this bug was the message indx=%d (%x); (short)indx = %d (%x) indexing overflow error for some values of %d and %x. trivial fix is in otran.c, to remove the assignment to nlabels in the line labels = (char **)mmalloc((nlabels=NLABELS) * sizeof(char *)); Then the constant NLABELS in oload.h can be small, like 10 or 20 ==John ffitch   Received: from wallace.maths.bath.ac.uk by omphalos.maths.Bath.AC.UK id aa29215; 25 Oct 99 12:34 GMT Received: from [207.69.128.51] (helo=smtp7.atl.mindspring.net) by wallace.maths.bath.ac.uk with esmtp (Exim 2.12 #1) id 11fiMN-0002Z7-00 for jpff@maths.bath.ac.uk; Mon, 25 Oct 1999 12:32:19 +0100 Received: from Realizer (user-2ive4jg.dialup.mindspring.com [165.247.18.112]) by smtp7.atl.mindspring.net (8.8.5/8.8.5) with SMTP id IAA26094; Mon, 25 Oct 1999 08:34:17 -0400 (EDT) From: Michael Gogins To: jpff@maths.bath.ac.uk, csound@maths.ex.ac.uk MMDF-Warning: Parse error in original version of preceding line at UK.AC.Bath.maths.omphalos Subject: RE: .csd file format Date: Mon, 25 Oct 1999 08:37:44 -0400 Message-ID: MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset="iso-8859-1" Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit X-Priority: 3 (Normal) X-MSMail-Priority: Normal X-Mailer: Microsoft Outlook IMO, Build 9.0.2416 (9.0.2910.0) X-MimeOLE: Produced By Microsoft MimeOLE V4.72.3110.3 In-Reply-To: <557-Sun24Oct1999180432+0000-jpff@maths.bath.ac.uk> Importance: Normal I am probably (one of?) the requestor(s) here.
