New Csound drone instrument/sruti box

Hi all,

It's me again, with another new Csound (actually, CsoundAV) project. This one is not a composition, it's a realtime instrument for use in live performance as part of an ensemble. Once to four drones, tunable by ratios (will accept numerator/denominator values up to 1500), a variety of waveforms, and optional use of the Risset harmonic arpeggio effect for tamboura-like goodness. I hope someone finds it useful, but I'm open to suggestions if there is a feature someone would like to see added (or fixed); of course, the source code is there for anyone who wants to tinker.

Hi Dave, this is very interesting. I will report after trying this
shruti box.

Regards,
Haresh.

Haresh, I look forward to your comments. If you have already downloaded the CSD file, please download it again -- I realized that it had a setting (the output device selection) that would work on my system, but not necessarily of other systems. I have just uploaded the fix.
