	What I have used is CoolEdit, which allows you to read in a text file with numbers. It will ask you to specify a sample rate, etc. and then load it as a soundfile. You can then write that to disk as a .WAV or .AIFF file. CoolEdit is available as shareware at www.syntrillium.com and is a very useful utility.

There are a great deal of changes; mainly bug fixes, but the one significant change is that the spectrum opcode is now working, and it replaces the earlier nocdft opcode. The arguments for specptrk are now as in the manual, strset is fully functional. Also interpretation of \ character has changed again -- still not happy with this. Some changes in MIDI (like program change commands no longer crash things), and so on. I have not finished the user interface part of MIDI so you will have to wait or ignore it (or use the command line version) Matt has most of this code in his beta version, so while it might look as if we are out of step, we are closer than we have been for ages. There will be a gap before any bug fixes as I will be on holiday until 10 September, and I am not taking my comuputer or taking net access. So I hope this version works as well for you as it does for me! ==John ffitch Received: from stork.maths.bath.ac.uk by omphalos.maths.Bath.AC.UK id aa24901; 26 Aug 98 7:35 BST Received: from pat.bath.ac.uk by stork.maths.Bath.AC.UK id aa25643; 26 Aug 98 7:35 BST Received: (qmail 2189 invoked from network); 26 Aug 1998 06:35:18 -0000 Received: from ax-nicb.axnet.it (root@194.184.60.149) by pat.bath.ac.uk with SMTP; 26 Aug 1998 06:35:18 -0000 Received: (from nicb@localhost) by ax-nicb.axnet.it (8.8.8/8.8.8) id IAA12706; Wed, 26 Aug 1998 08:33:32 +0200 Date: Wed, 26 Aug 1998 08:33:30 +0200 (MET DST) From: Nicola Bernardini To: James Croson , jpff@maths.bath.ac.uk cc: csound@maths.ex.ac.uk Subject: Re: several messages In-Reply-To: Message-ID: MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: TEXT/PLAIN; charset=US-ASCII On Mon, 24 Aug 1998, James Croson wrote: > Nicola, > re: > ! tickspersec = Qticks * 2; > > I just happened to have looked at this on Friday.

Unfortunately, James is right: the Qticks * 2 is correct. I was mislead by the fact that I had a midifile which was rendered by midi2cs at 60 bpm while it was supposed to be at 120 bpm (a bug in midi2cs???).
