Hi Csounders,
I have listen to some of you who requested orc support in
HPKComposer: from the beginning HPKComposer had a pluggable software synthetizer
archietcture, thus I have added one that let you code Instrument using the
Csound language. This support is integrated with the score generation tools and
with the global effects feature. The direct consequence is (and this is the bad
news) that the orc file must be modified:
- p4 and p5 parameters are reserved (pitch
and amplitude)
- functions must be renamed <fx> in
the Instrument definition, and the Function must be described in a special
editor with x as the number. This will let HPKComposer correctly numbering the
Function
- parameters must be code icx, x has value
from 1 to 16, and their range must defined in a Parameter editor
- output signal must folow conventions,
based on the fact it is a direct one or it will go through the pan and effects
modules
Thus this support is made for Csound knowledgable people, as
for example you have to correctly detect where functions are being used. Look at
the provided samples that are converted Intrument made by people present on this
mailing list (thanks to them).
I have also added the capability to save and load individual
Instruments -> library! Ready to share?
On another side, the VRML part has been completed, MIDI
controlers can be used to control the Volume of individual sounds, as well as
any graphical object parameters.
