Hi PowerMac Csounders,

I have put a revised 3.47 perf beta on the Mills ftp site (for
PowerMac).  It includes most of the new 3.47 opcodes (see jpff's and
rcb's recently posted release notes), apparently vastly improves the
phase vocoder, etc.  The only new opcodes that haven't been
incorporated are the MIDI out opcodes.  I'd like to thank rcb's crew at
Berklee for slogging (and crashing) through the original beta for the
last couple of weeks and for their bug reports.  I especially like (the
looks of) the new generalized filter opcodes, by the way.

This is a *BETA* though, and I assume I still haven't heard the last of
the code changes from jpff, so treat it as such, but tests & feedback
especially about the new stuff would be appreciated.  There will surely
be another release soon.

You still must remove old "perf"s from your system to run this one.  If
you are ResEdit (or Resorcerer) savvy, you can change the old perf's
owner to something other than "pErF" (in file info) and then the Front
End will find this beta instead.

This beta is configured to run in a 4 Meg partition.  Use Get Info to
make it smaller if you want to.

The file is:

perf3.47(beta).hqx 

at mills.edu in pub/ccm/csound.ppc

The banner in the text window should read version 0.3.4b2.

Dave

REMINDER: For those of you using the current Mills release, make sure
you have the fixed perf (perf.ppc.fix.hqx).  Otherwise your perf will
go away if you have "+"s in your score.
