i am new to csound and i have one, probably rather silly question. but i must know... why are the gen routines (the f statements) called from within the .sco? i have read through the manual searching for the reason and it still eludes me. it makes more sense to me to have them in the .orc file where the rest of the definitions are called. the reason is, in toot 6 in the manual the f statements are: f1 0 2048 10 1 ;sine f2 0 2048 10 1 .5 .3 .25 .2 .167 .14 .125 .111 ;sawtooth f3 0 2048 10 1 0 .3 0 .2 0 .14 0 .111 ;square f4 0 2048 10 1 1 1 1 .7 .5 .3 .1 ;pulse now each waveshape changes the resulting sound of the instrument. it seems to me that each instrument file could stand alone if it wasnt for the f statements in the .sco file. better portability could be had if the orchestra was independant of the score. please help me with this problem!!! william 'pete' moss |

This is a FAQ really, but there is a new answer! Old answer: SCORE activity is dynamic, and so creating and destroying of tables lives there. The ORCHESTRA is static, existing throughout the run, New answer: Wait for version 3.47 where you can create tables in the orchestra I have an alpha version of 3.47 out there now. My own Window95 PC decided to burn up (or otherwise sulk) and so I am having to reconstruct on a new machine. A few more days and there may be a beta version. ==John ff |
