SubjectWindows 95 Realtime Midi version of Csound
Dear Csound community,
I have finished writing a Csound Realtime MIDI version for Windows 95
platform with Visual C++ 2.0 32bit compiler.

This version recognizes all installed Windows midi input and wave 
output devices and, if these are more than one, it prompts 
the user for the device number desired. 
This version includes all official John Fitch et al. 3.5
upgrades and fixes, as well as my "soundin2" new UG. It also allows
to define the number of output wave buffers and a virtual console of up 
to 2050 lines of text output (obviously though a scrolling window). 
I wish also to include the Robin Whittle's UGs in the near future.

With my Pentium 133 PC with 32 MB of ram and 512k of cache it 
allows following maximum realtime performances with MIDI control
and without sound flow interruptions:

about 23 single oscili and envelope instruments polyphony with sr=44100
and kr=441
about 49 single oscili and envelope instruments polyphony with sr=22050
and kr=441
about 110 single oscili and envelope instruments polyphony with sr=11025
and kr=441

(All these performances are tested with audio table length  < than cache
size. When reading audio rate table outside the cache, polyphony
decreases considerably).

I don't know yet if I must download the .exe  file  to the internet. 
I'm waiting for your feedback before doing anything.

good bye and be happy!

Hi,

I'd be glad to try your Win95 real-time CSound, especially if it is able 
to output in stereo (which is something wincsound can't do). Is your 
version already available through the net?
