A new release of Csound ported to the PowerMac is available on the Mills web site
at:

Csound 0.3.1b 
perf 0.3.1b

This the latest release of Csound from Mike Berry, Matt Ingalls and
Dave Madole at Mills College.  We've been working on it on and off for
a few months and apologize for the repeated "Real Soon Now" messages
over the last couple of months.  There is still a lot we'd like to do,
but this seems like a good stopping point.

0.3.0 was short lived as we within a week incorporated some of the latest John
Fitch upgrades and fixed Butterworth filter, etc.

The foreground app is now just called "Csound", the background app is
just called "perf".

As usual, remove (copy to diskette) all previous versions of csound.ppc
and perf.ppc from your file system.

Among major upgrades:

A new ugen that reads samples directly from disk ("diskin"); Ability to
read and write AIFF-C Floating Point Files; Ability to handle realtime
input; Extended MIDI opcodes and (even) more robust MIDI
implementation; integration of John Fitch's "Bath" code brings in many
more ugens..

There are also numerous minor upgrades, bug fixes, etc.

The details are included in the release notes.  *BE SURE TO READ THEM*.

We'd like to thank all of the users of our port for their feedback and
support over the last year.  We'll probably be putting a hiatus on
development, except for bug fixes, at least for the summer.

Dave (for Matt & Mike)

Hi,

bug report for Mills Csound.ppc 0.3.1b0:

Using a + in the p2 field of a score file sets a wrong length for the note
(very large!!!). I checked it with the physmodl.orc/sco of Hans Mikelson
slightly modified by me. I do not attach it, because it also happens with
tutorial 11 which is part of the Csound.ppc 0.3.1 distribution after
setting the sr= 22050, kr=1050 ans ksmps=21. Replacing the + by the correct
number works. You can see the much too large stop time when you kill the
perf...

Tis problem did not appear in the last official release. (I can remember
that I compiled the files by Hans Mikelson without problems...)

I concur:

I have run similar tests on my l scores with the same results. If the "+"
in the p2 field(s) is replaced with the corresponding numerical
duration(s), then the audio file perfs correctly. Otherwise it simply chugs
along happily until the disk volume fills up. Unfortunately, I have deleted
my previous versions of csound.ppc and perf.ppc. Is there a way I can get
hold of them?
