C-Sound

Hi Prent,

I just wondered, have you used Cecilia?

http://music.ucdavis.edu/re4m/cecilia/

I downloaded it and had a look. Still quite
a steep learning curve I think but get the
impression that having it to hand may be
pretty useful when learning C-Sound.

Something I'd like to do at some point, at least to study it
a bit to get an idea how it works and think about whether
a direct save of FTS tunes to C-sound
may be useful. I gather you can
covert midi files to C-sound but that
won't take advantage of it's unlimited
pitch polyphony, which FTS would be
able to exploit in a direct save
if I implement it. That would be the big attraction of
C-sound for me.

Also, it seems like a good one to
recommend for beginner C-sounders and
have mentioned it on the FTS download page.
But, wondered about what it is like, if
you happen to have tried it.

Thanks,

Robert

HI Gene

Sorry, just looked again, the test one was just the one that I selected last time
I ran winsound, and not a Cecilia one at all. Sorry to mislead everyone
about that.

There are many examples listed here though

http://www.bright.net/~dlphilp/linux_csound.html

Many don't need samples I know that for sure.

I've just downloaded one and tested it and it worked

I went here
http://www.computermusic.ch/archive_d.html#anchor1399158

and downloaded soprano.orc and soprano.sco (the first ones)

It downloaded as html for some reason so I had to edit the
files to remove some html junk (i mean junk as far as C-sound is
concerned) at the start and end,
and change the file extension to .sco and .orc respectively.

After that, it worked fine. See if you have any html junk
at the start of the one you are trying.

BTW just came across a CSound VST:

Thanks,

Robert

It worked! It even drew a pretty picture.
