| Dear Charles and Members of the Csound Community,
For several years I worked as a consultant to Analog Devices and assited
Barry Vercoe and ADI in defining and debugging the Extended Csound language
and the Extended Csound SDK. For this work, I was paid extremely well.
(But I also paid the price for all the stress and strain as I sufferred a
stroke in the process! Fortunatly I regained most of my faculties.)
As of January 1, 1998, I am no longer under contract with Analog Devices
and am definately NOT SELLING their stuff.
Also, it is improtant to note that over the last three years, I managed to
get one of my most brilliant and gifted students - Paris Smaragdis - some
consulting work with ADI on this project. For that 8 months of work ADI
also paid him pretty well. But he no longer works for Analog Devices and
is definately NOT SELLING their stuff. In fact, Paris Smaragdis has not
worked for ADI for over two years.
I have nothing further to say about the ADI system, but if you would like
to get an objective/ousider's perspective on the ADI SDK you should contact
