SubjectRE: Winsound v3.476 bug?
I have had a couple of other users email me about having problems
with CSound creating READ-ONLY files.  I have the latest versions
of CSound and mine seem to be writing the correct file attributes
and I am able to delete the csound generated files from within 
CSounder.

I haven't changed CSounder for over a year now so I'm sure that
the deletion problem is not with CSounder.  It has only been
recently that I've gotten complaints about this problem from
CSounder users.  Has anyone else had this deletion problem?

I'm currently running CSounder and csound (3.472 for DOS and Windows)
on a P-233MMX running Win NT 4.0 Workstation (the goods!) and 
everything runs the way I expect it so I'm not sure what to recommend.

Can the powers that be help?

1. Whenever I generate the sound file, I cannot delete it  with
Csounder v3.3.  After checking the atribution of the sound file, I
found that the atribution had always been set as READ-ONLY.  All I
have to do is to use file folder to delete the file or use ATTRIB
command in DOS.  Is it a bug?

The manual is not that bad after all.
Read the 'Extract feature' chapter.

I'm trying to use midi2cs and the only result I have is with the "default"
sound. 
If I try to use a .orc file in the project I have an error msg (and the orc
file is in the same directory) and if I try with a .wav file it works but
the resulting wav file after csound processing is atonal... understand :
good rythm but the same note all along..

Does anybody use midi as a way to produce music with Csound ?

--------

Second question : I've tried to use a demo orc file (bell.orc) and a midi
file as input with csound (directly not with midi2cs).
I've deleted all the note events in the bell.sco file just keeping de f1
and f2 lines.
As somebody said to me in this mailing list I must have a f0 line... Ok I
put something like f0 120 at the begining of the file..

Result : nothing -> an empty wav file ( 0,0 seconds )

Where is my problem ??

---------

Thanks for your answers !!

Yes Csound is not yet midi-intuitive.  I am using alot of algorithmic
composition software at the moment as well as Cakewalk Pro Audio as my
master container and manipulator.  I am endevoring to create midi
controlled virtual synths in Csound so that the score would almost be a
non-issue, except for the minimal f-statement.
	In Cake, there is now a feature called studioware, where one can build
virtual control panels for any piece of equipment so I plan on building
panels to control and program these synths in real-time.  They also let you
save the parameters of these panels so in effect you could save presets
like on a real sysnth.  Then you could call up a work file and there would
be your synths and saved sounds.  Wish me luck.  I will post my work as I
progress.  It would also help the non-score midi type people in the Csound
community to get into Csound without a huge learning curve.

Did you use *.aif files or only *.wav ? That should be the reason.

If you'd like me to get that thing running I'll try to do it for you.

P.S. Does anyone know a group named 'Saart' on a label 'Myysik' in Germany ?
Sounds a lot like Csound. Beautiful music I listened in radio, but I do not
know where to get the CD.

I do not think it is the problem of CSounder v3.3.  I think it is the
bug of Winsound v3.476.  Since I have used some other Csound  &
Winsound version, and no problems happened at all.

If Csound is compiled with MSVC, maybe the read-only error is a bug of
the compiler. In my version of Csound I had inserted a patch which looks
at the just written file and removes the attribute if it is read-only.
