as a new user struggling with the very basics of csound / non-computer
programmer /former music teacher with some experience with additive
synthesis and a touch of fm, have already made an offer to help explain to
innocent pedestrians anything that could be made understandable to me. so
far i have found that the answers i get on this list are helpful. i just
bang my head against the wall ten or twenty times and vIola! but i am
beginning to feel a bit woozy. of course i have also already made a couple
of feeble attempts to assist others in distress.
offer stands.
yours,

Hi,
I've been fiddling around creating a nice vocoder type sound. I made an
orchestra which simply filters two signals into thinnish bands and
balances one against the other. My choice of what bands to use has so far
been pretty much based on a 'try-it-and-see' philosophy. In the end I
built a cheap n cheerful interface in VB4 which runs under win95. If
anyone wants to grab a copy I've made it publicly ftpable at
ftp://128.243.101.213/pub/vocode.zip.
If you don't have VB4 on your machine you'll probably need to download a
couple of extra files that are in the directory.. try running the program
and see what dll's, ocx's it asks for, and then see if I've put them in
the /pub directory. If you need a file that isn't there.. mail me and
I'll put it in.
The interface just gives you 16 sets of sliders for changing the bands and
bandwidths (two sets for each channel so you can map a band in one sample
to a different band in the other). Output is a Csound score and orchestra
and, if you tell it where csound lives, it'll make the output file and
play it to you. It's a bit shoddy, but it works and I've had quite a bit
of fun with it, so I thought I'd let someone else play :)
Matt.
ps. If you do have a go with it.. PLEASE mail me and let me know, bug
reports and comments appreciated.

Q: How can I do global processing, like reverb, on the output of a number
of instruments?
A: (explain how to use global vars and a processing instruement)

Ha!, it never fails. Actually it WAS .../cshlp345.zip
which is a much more sensible name, but I've renamed it,
so now the link seems to work.

GrainMaker 2.0, a soundfile granulation Csound score generator
programmed in MAX, is now available at the following ftp sites:
ftp://ftp.ircam.fr/pub/incoming/max-patches/
ftp://serial.music.uiowa.edu/pub/upload/
GrainMaker 2.0 includes the following new features:
1) can transpose soundfiles (including random transposition per
grain)
2) writes score files directly to the hard drive (no more crashing
with the text objects)
3) is a stand-alone app (FAT--runs on 68k or PPC)
a) GrainMaker 2.0 with picts shows grain envelopes as they are
selected
b) GrainMaker 2.0 (no picts) requires less memory
Enjoy!
