Hello everyone,


Just joined the list, brief introduction as follows. My name is 
Dave Koelmeyer, I'm soon to be into my second year of a music 
degree at University of Auckland, New Zealand. I'm 21 and have
been working with computers and hardware based synths for about 
six years now. I currently write electronic music in my small 
MIDI home studio, using a variety of S+S digital synths. Most
of my experience is with Roland Super JV-1080 engine, although
I've recently added a Wavestation to my rig. I've got a few other
general purpose MIDI modules (for percussion etc), as well as 
effects and dynamics processors. I first heard about CSound in a 
feature run by Keyboard magazine, and have been meaning to 
download a copy for ages. I gather it's used extensively at the
University, so I'm going to try to learn the basics over the summer
holidays - even though I'm far from being a maths or physics
whiz. I really enjoy synth programming...I also enjoy sharing what
I know with others. I frequently conduct tutorials in programming
on the 1080 mailing list. 

Unfortunately, I'm having trouble getting it to run - surprise
surprise. I surfed on in to one of the recommended websites on
the Leeds Csound page and downloaded a copy of AXCsound. I tried 
running the program and was told that "AXCsound.dll failed to
register". I surfed on over to the AXCSound page and was told that
I might have to enter a line manually at the command prompt, 
that line being "RegSvr32 AXCsound.dll". Upon doing this I received
the following line, "AXCSound.dll failed GetLastError returns
0x00000485". Could someone please assist me? I'm running a Pentium
-clone 200 Mhz PC, 32MB RAM, with stock standard 16bit SB-clone
soundcard.

Thanks for reading,

Best Regards,

Dave
