Does anyone know if ZIPI is still being developed, or has it sunk without trace?
It seemed to me that it overcame most of the limitations of MIDI. If it is at all
alive, we should urge the Analog people to add support for it to Extended Csound,
which might just help get it established.

BTW, I am a flute-flayer, and much as I am interested in wind controllers, I
probably won't give up the flute - you get to ~feel~ the air much more with a
flute, and with plain bamboo and wooden flutes it is possible to use all sorts of
tricks such as fingered vibrato, slides, half-holing and so on - I can't imagine a
wind controller of any design could really match that! Wind controllers are new
instruments, with their own strengths, but they cannot ~replace~ quixotic physical
instruments of metal, cane, wood and goldbeater-skin.

don't give up the flute. in fact consider using it as an alternative
controller as well. but please don't go discouraging our meta designers.
note that i mentioned being endeared to multiphonics on sax. but all those
pitch nuances, volume nuances, timbre nuances, dramatic and subtle
fingering effects, they can all be represented as ones and zero's. (the
proof of this is that they are pretty well captured by our primitive cd's).

now programming a working interface for all that half hole stuff, timbre
response to subtle physical changes in our bodies (mouth shape, epiglottis
position, hands, wind pressure, mouth pressure, hand pressure, angles of
hands and body) can't be too much more involved than calculating the
relative movement of all the planetary bodies in the space time continuum
now can it? and besides, the flute already exists, the goal should not be
to replace it exactly, but to learn from it. and let's start by trashing
midi.

you say "cannot." in ten years? one hundred years? a thousand? imagine
complete control over the way in which your instrument responds to such
subtle changes with programmable results! we are just beginning to see the
possibilities. god this is an exciting time to be a musician!

happy csounding!

I apologize for asking this here, because I think it has been answered 
before and I just didn't make a note of it.

Is there a way to get this list in digest form?  If so, how?  (Also, if 
so, it might be a nice little information tidbit to shove into the FAQ...)

But to "represent pretty well" - relative to our very young recording 
and record-listening practises - is still a far scream from "controlling"
or "modelling" as related to our (even younger) synthesizing and 
synthesis-listening practises.

The point shouldn't be to replace anything at all! Imitation could be done 
by any simpleton with a properly cross-indexed array of samples (kind of). 
Now:
(1) Well, the interfaces must not be stupid. If there's a hole model, there 
should be a slider (or float) for "covering" it, not a checkbox (or boolean).
(2) If there's a point in instrumental synthesis at all, it would be to 
get a halfways decent imitation, but with controls for stretching the flute 
in any dimension, and moving the holes around while playing - physically 
"impossible" stuff can and should be done by synthesis.

The rest is just corporate attempts at replacing musicians, which succeed 
to the point of 
(a) putting a few people out of their jobs, and 
(b) getting their kid cousins to spend a lot of money on the new music
and its instruments, which appear because 
(c) the synthesis sucks as "representation" of instrumental music, but 
(d) can be used for completely different aesthetical purposes.

(oh, and it takes musicians and composers to realise that potential,
so we're back before (a) now)

regarding FM spectrum (# of sidebands)
p229 Curtis Roads Computer Music Tutorial pub MIT.

index of modulation I is defined as

I=D/M
where D is the amount of frequency deviation (in Hz).
if D is 100 Hz and Modulator M is 100 Hz, then the index of modulation is 1.0.

fine, I is determined by two frequency values.
but then he goes on to say:
"because the bandwidth increases as the index of modulation increases, FM
can simulate an important property of instrumental tones. Namely, as the
amplitude increases, so does the bandwidth."

huh? who said anything about amplitude? suppose he means that amplitude
must be somehow indexed to a change in pitch of the modulator to achieve
this affect?

could someone please clarify? and how does csound deal with this?

If your modulation index control signal (which should be at sr not kr
regardless of what stupid things foscil does) tracks with your note
envelope (something you have to arrange e.g. afmindex = aenv*0.001) then
the harmonic content increases as the volume increases. Of course, you can
have seperate mod-index and amplitude envelopes, but then you have to
decide in what fashion the harmonic content should change over time.

that's actually the "carrier to modulator ratio", not "Index of
Modulation" , which *is* a amplitude multiplier.
Fun thing is, you can crank that Index puppy up & down all you want,
and it will not affect the amplitude of the output (modulated carrier)
waveform. It just "spreads out" or "re-distributes" the carrier waves
energy in a pattern determined by the carrier to mod ratio, the index of
mod,
the sample rate , the original waveforms, and the math functions known
as "bessel functions" . A very good intro for musicians to these
concepts, (although one that had many typos) was the John Chowning
(father of audio FM synth) book printed by Yamaha...also out of print, I
bet...sheesh, these days I feel so old...

Well, sometimes it hangs, sometimes it makes weird sounds, which is why I
wanted to go back to 3.46 but I didn't know how to get CSound to use the older
version of Perf (hence the original question).

Maybe I'm  wrong, but........
After thinking a little about it it seems to me that the amount of frequency
deviation (D)
is the same as the amplitude of the modulator.
So I think the book is rigth, if one asumes that the amplitude of the
modulator follows the
amplitude of the instrument.
