(= I might otherwise spend half a grand on Arboretum's Ionizer, and who has th= at kind of bread?) So I write a bogus orc and sco with several of these procs, which look li= ke it should compile (I can provide these if anyone cares). I click Render (as mentioned, I'm running 3.493 on PPC). Perf immediately laughs at me, sayi= ng that I'm not using a valid opcode, which I didn't expect. The rest of the= compile twitches and dies because of undefined variables, which I expecte= d at this point. I run the compile again and turn on the option to display all opcodes. It= turns out there are two invalid opcodes in my orc: octdown and noctdft-= - the very two I need to run the rest of the orc. Bummer. However, in the list = of opcodes, I note the presence of one called spectrum, which doesn't seem t= o be covered in any of the various online texts about Csound. Could someone enlighten me as to the care and feeding of this opcode? Doe= s it do what I think it does?

The first problem was that envlpxr was not there any more (already reported). I have fixed this now (very simple): In the file entry.c, insert the line void evrset(void), knvlpxr(void), envlpxr(void); after the line void evxset(void), knvlpx(void), envlpx(void); Further, insert the line: { "envlpxr",S(ENVLPR), 7, "s", "xiiiiiooo", evrset,knvlpxr,envlpxr}, after the line { "envlpx", S(ENVLPX), 7, "s", "xiiiiiio", evxset, knvlpx, envlpx}, and recompile. Next problem: I previously used the Unofficial Linux Csound Version v3.49.4.0a. There, the option -M/dev/midi00 worked well. In 3.50, nothing is received from the MIDI port, and I have to 'cheat' like that: cat /dev/midi00 \| csound -Mstdin etc which works. Third problem (and worst): The audio quality: While in the 3.49.4 version, the sound was clean and HiFi, in the 3.50 version I get annoying clicks at every note-on and note-off (worse at note-off's) with the same orchestra I used before Thomas Received: from wallace.maths.bath.ac.uk by omphalos.maths.Bath.AC.UK id aa01798; 16 Jan 99 3:10 GMT Received: from [144.173.6.14] (helo=exeter.ac.uk) by wallace.maths.bath.ac.uk with esmtp (Exim 1.92 #2) for jpff@maths.bath.ac.uk id 101M7b-00079h-00; Sat, 16 Jan 1999 03:09:59 +0000 Received: from noether [144.173.8.10] by hermes via SMTP (DAA09066); Sat, 16 Jan 1999 03:08:05 GMT Received: from exeter.ac.uk by maths.ex.ac.uk; Sat, 16 Jan 1999 03:07:52 GMT Received: from root@qcunix1.acc.qc.edu [149.4.2.9] by hermes via ESMTP (DAA03779); Sat, 16 Jan 1999 03:07:51 GMT Received: from qc1.qc.edu (qc1.acc.qc.edu [149.4.254.38]) by qcunix1.acc.qc.edu (8.8.8/8.8.7) with ESMTP id UAA02318; Fri, 15 Jan 1999 20:03:49 -0500 (EST) Received: from QC1/SpoolDir by qc1.qc.edu (Mercury 1.44); 15 Jan 99 20:05:04 +5 Received: from SpoolDir by QC1 (Mercury 1.44); 15 Jan 99 20:03:27 +5 From: "Hubert S.

I will be very happy if you will implement such feature. 2) When I use the debug mode with MSVC, the compiler displays a lot of error messages when using macros: memory check error at 0x00851C88 = 0x30, should be 0xFD I noticed that these messages are generated by a free() call, in particular by: mfree(str->body); in file SREAD.C These errors doesnt appear in release compilation.

This does not happen in Release mode. These error messages general mean that array boundaries are being exceeded, but can also be generated if ther is an attempt to free memory twice. The clue to this is the special value expected, eg 0xFD. As I am writing this from memory, I can't remember offhand which value means which. But that is what these messages mean.

Its a superb tool ! it really emulates a multichannel soundcard ! You can play a sample in your wave editor using "Cable OUT" as output instead of soundcard output and use Csound with "Cable IN" as input, so Csound recaives 100% digital soundstream from the wave editor ! Nice nice....For owners of a simple SB16 or so, this is a great tool... What VAC does is installing a virtual audio cable connection (shows up as an extra sound output/input device under windows programs). get VAC at http://www.maz-sound.com David ______________________________________________________ Get Your Private, Free Email at http://www.hotmail.com Received: from shaun.maths.bath.ac.uk by omphalos.maths.Bath.AC.UK id aa02487; 16 Jan 99 12:35 GMT Received: from [144.173.6.14] (helo=exeter.ac.uk) by shaun.maths.bath.ac.uk with esmtp (Exim 1.92 #2) for jpff@maths.bath.ac.uk id 101Ux3-0002nz-00; Sat, 16 Jan 1999 12:35:41 +0000 Received: from noether [144.173.8.10] by hermes via SMTP (MAA07021); Sat, 16 Jan 1999 12:33:26 GMT Received: from exeter.ac.uk by maths.ex.ac.uk; Sat, 16 Jan 1999 12:33:13 GMT Received: from mail13.digital.com [192.208.46.30] by hermes via ESMTP (MAA03022); Sat, 16 Jan 1999 12:33:12 GMT Received: from rmstar.stl.dec.com (rmstar.stl.dec.com [16.153.32.42]) by mail13.digital.com (8.9.1a/8.9.1/WV2.0c) with ESMTP id HAA02647 for ; Sat, 16 Jan 1999 07:33:13 -0500 (EST) Received: from gs-pc1 (ras.172.48.215.gen.sno.dec.com [16.172.48.215]) by rmstar.stl.dec.com (8.8.8/8.8.6) with SMTP id XAA30631 for ; Sat, 16 Jan 1999 23:33:06 +1100 (EST) Message-ID: <001b01bee7eb$c465f6a0$d730ac10@gs-pc1> From: Greg Sullivan To: csound@maths.ex.ac.uk MMDF-Warning: Parse error in original version of preceding line at UK.AC.Bath.maths.omphalos Subject: Re: Virtual Audio Cable !

For example, I needed to capture the output of a soft synth (not Csound) to disk, and while VAC does work, it frequently locks up. Fortunately I only needed to capture a short duration, and I was able to keep trying until I captured a long enough segment. I suspect that it could be something to do with DirectSound. (the soft synth in question normally outputs to a DirectSound device, and the VAC is probably not a DirectSound compliant device) For "normal" WAV i/o, yes, it's very handy. Greg.
