	I don't think that it is appropriate to compare an O2 box to a pentium
pro, but I'm sure some PC-happy person would just love to start a big
OS/box flame war:)  The SGI O2 compares well against an Ultrasparc in my
opinion.  But Sun and SGI make different types of computers than PC's,
Macs, Ataris, and Amigas.  The differences are numerous...

Hello everyone--

I'm wondering if anyone else has been getting some of the advertisements
sent over this list lately (like the one I just got for "SexSwap") and if
they have, if there is anyway we can prevent things like this (definitely
unrelated to CSound) from being propigated....

Just find it a huge surprise to be perusing the latest ideas only to be
blitzed with adult advertising...

Anyone else feel the same way?

Anybody have any information on quad panning in Csound. I have tried a
bunch of things but none of them work the way I want them. 

Thanks
Michael

BTW has anybody compiled csound on BeOS? I would like to see your makefile
and any changes to the code you made... if that is ok?

I'd wager everyone on this list feels the same way! We're being "spammed".
Does anyone on this list have experience succesfully dealing with this kind
of thing?

Hi Micheal,

i have done a few pieces recently in quad - using Csound.ppc.  Since could
only HEAR quad out of our Pro-Tools I using DECKII (the piece of shit that
it is), i made 2 copies of my quad orc - one for front speakers, one for
back.  Then ran them in a batch, dumped them into DECK, split the channels
to mono,etc...  a BIG PAIN!

If this could be any use to anybody:
here is a pretty simple orc/sco that i have been using to play samples --
almost always with a "granular" - generated score.
	 (take the ';'s out of all the "front" lines to get all 4
channels!)

My ISP has filtered out know spam sources using procmail. You can also do
this yourself if you know how to use procmail (I don't know enough about
it to coach you).


This helps somewhat. For instance, I never saw the spam from hotmail on 
this list.

Another approach is for the list server to allow posting only from
subscribers.  This disallows the occasional legit message, and
requires some fine-tuning for people whose send and receive addresses
don't match, but it does kill spam.

I've not been using CSound for long, and I'm new to this list...I hope
someone can help me out here....

I've written an orchestra and score just to try things out and I'm hearing
some distortion. Its not the first time I've had Csound generate
"background noise" etc. I don't understand how this can happen in
non-realtime syntesis!

I'm using WinSound from the Bath site on an MMX 166 with a crappy
soundblaster card. Would anybody be kind enough to compile the following on
their setup & tell me if its OK. Is my programme at fault, or my card, or
my computer or (most unlikely I'm sure :) ) the Csound programme?

Listen out for the slight distortion at the beginning of each "bell" impact
(no clipping shows up on the waveform, and no samples are out of range). 

Millions of thanks & best wishes,

Richard Smith

Hi you all out there,
        
        I didn't know anything about this "hit generator". 
        I looked for it at bath server but I couldn't find it at all... (I
confess I didn't search in Montreal ;)))
        Knowing those lovely sounds that could be generated through sex...
Can anybody explain to me how should a "sexswap hit generator" be designed?
        I suppose it needs a pair of plugged-in starting units (being
conservative ;)), with a pre-existing COMB treatment, silk envelope, a
table, with lots of reinit steps (an Alpass statement could be just fine
also) in the middle, and a rand unit to control the stereo output... 
        Any other ideas? ;)))
        Cheers,

Pablo.

P.S.: Being serious... I feel the same way as you, Thomas.

noisy anyway, so sometimes it's difficult to tell where that noise comes from

did it and all I could find was that your orchestra settings are quite unusal
to me.
sr=44000
kr=200
ksmps=220
nchnls=2

Yes you are right. There is a digital distortion at the beginning of each bell
with your settings.

I changed it to 
sr=44100
kr=44100
ksmps=1
nchnls=2

This takes a whole lot more of calculation time, but the result is
highhighhigh-fi without distortion, because there's no room for
approximation ...
