he looks like he's alone
but if you listen closely
you here there is more than one

put your pedal to the medal

put the pedal to the medal
al -queda's in the cab...

I don't want you to have a gun...
Don't tell the cops you want a gun..
stay away from the cops...

Hear the sound..
smash it all....
hear the sound...
kill it all...

It's the perfect crime..
It's the perfect song..
It's the voice that wispers..

Tell me I am the enemy..
tell me who you are...
Give me a list of things to kill
to end the sound..

save your life from hurricanes
get a new set of wheels...
If you don't give me all your cash..
I'll make you take the key's

I'll make you drive, I'll make you drive.
give me all your money or buy the car..

See the truck driver he looks like he is by himself.
If you listen closely you hear there is more than one...
put your pedal to the medal..
everyone get out of the way...
put your pedal to the medal

why won't you do drugs...
why won't you smoke weed..
why don't you buy cocaine..
because I never let you sleep..
and pain pills are really nice
you have felt the pain for years
anti-depression, schizophrenic.
you know that's all you need..

why won't you buy a car...
why won't you bay a carrarar..

ways to get paid for music

2011-06-26T14:31:00.000-07:00

It is possible to get something for your web traffic when you can embed songs. Dexter U.S. Bandcamp allows that. It isn't alot but it gives you something. I also discovered lastfm owned by cbs. It allows you to get paid for the streams. Since you have already had your page-views you might as well let your user add it to a radio station that is similar to pandora.com . We are not talking about the big money by any means.

ztracker a way to hack acid music?????

2011-06-26T09:12:00.000-07:00

The way Sony's acid music is currently set up there is no internal ability to use trackers to output to the vst's it only accepts keyboard or hacks through internal midi connections.. This isn't ideal for two reasons, It isn't proprietary so it can work for and against you and you cannot edit the parameters like you could if it is an internal program, but you have more freedom of design (that could work as a propriety concept also).. ztracker looks like it may be a good choice for this but of course if you are sony you may have already lost the sale (the telemarketing training as it is used in software design... ). How do I output the note to vst without a keyboard.. Sony doesn't have the rebuttal to anyone except the hacker genre. So the acid people shouldn't just blame crack.

Seems like the old urls have a million pages linked to them so it is easy to get the old songs back.. At least some of them anyway.

csound_vst generater pack

2011-06-18T23:45:00.001-07:00

This is a code vst code generator pack for csound written in python...

csound vst code generator pack

vstheaders.py vstcsoundparemsreendumpt.py
These two programs take the output from csound and then dump them to a file that is csv
tested in csound 5.13 This is not the best way to do it though. vstcsoundparemscreen dump is needed for the generators though

vstcsoundparemscreendump2.py c:/pyvst/manic/maniclite.dll
csound.exe vsttemp.orc vsttemp.sco >dump.txt
pause

vstcsoundparem_to_spreadsheet.py c:/pyvst/manic/maniclite.dll
pause

get_paremeters_pyvst.py

This program does the same as the above two programs but uses pyvst to output all the parameters so they can be used in a spreadsheet

getparemeters_pyvst.py maniclite.dll
pause

vstcsoundinstrument.py

This program generates a csound vst instrument with dump.txt from vstcsoundparemscreen.py needs the name of the instrument.

vstcsoundinstrument2.py

This is the same as the first only the output instrument and the parameters are all in thier own instrument like
the csound beta manual.

pandora radio

2011-06-04T12:06:00.000-07:00

I am listening to pandora radio. It claims that you can do stations by artist or song but it appears that it does much better by tracking by the artist. The song part is pretty much unworkable but it can look up who the artist is. The mixture I am testing is steely dan, hole, lou reed.

csound search works better in yandex than google

csound 5.12

2010-11-06T12:02:00.000-07:00

This is a csoundvst distribution that is meant to be tracker friendly and much smaller than the official distro. The documentation is included separately. I will be adding csd's that are organized and other documentation (with pd licenses that I find). The links to this is in the docs folder. It is recommended at this point to put the csound distro in a new folder called csound in your gear directory.

I am just posting this instead of including it with a csoundvst distribution, that way I can have a smaller file. I have cut it from over 40 megs to around 5.5 meg (compressed). sourceforge is getting kinda unstable and it seems to change all the time so that way it is mirrored and I can play around with distro (i.e. getting other mirrors for a minimum csoundvst distro for windows.) It was a fluke that I had found it at all. Thanks to mr gogins for all his work making it possible.

this is an alpha or whatever of the jvst library configured for the processing programming language. I wasn't able to get the midi examples or library to work so I had started to mess around with this. I am still messing around with osc and looking up spreadsheet libraries for java but this is probily an intresting place to start.

csoundo library for csound

2010-09-24T21:47:00.000-07:00

csoundo.zip

Hosted by eSnips

This is the csoundo library for csound. This zip should work much better for windows machines and maybe for linux also than the mac one that is currently available. I have got a few of these working but I might be waiting for the 5.12 doubles version for windows to come out (some of the examples say the libraries may be incompatible). I think it is portable on windows when you copy the processing programming language into the csound bin directory and then all the folders are offshoots of that (unless it is defaulting to a particular version of csound but I don't think it does).

ableton live

2010-09-18T04:14:00.000-07:00

I am looking at ableton live this weekend looks like there is a bit of a learning curve to say the least. I am not sure what vst's I would like in my 'rig' with it.. I currently don't have the license for it but since I am still playing around with the voices and driving plus the impulses I am probably not ready for the 30 day deal yet... $100 is still alot of money and $1000 certainly is (and then you have equipment on top of that)

compiled version of faust

2010-08-24T00:28:00.000-07:00

I managed to get a compiled version of Faust programming language for windows.... I am still trying to compile one of the test programs so that I can include the python build scripts, gcc exc (because gcc will always stay the same and I can release it with dex tracker). If you are just interested in the compiler itself I have the download available here. Most of my traffic wants drum machine/sequencer graphics so I will put that on my list of stuff to do. I have plenty of docs to rewrite it in pygame and jython.

Introduction to computing and programming in python a multimedia approach

2010-08-21T21:21:00.000-07:00

I picked up this book at half price book store and I have to say I recommend it highly. You end up with a nice audio library in python as well as some graphics stuff. It also has review questions at the end of each chapter. I will be taking it with me to jury duty Monday. I may have faust compiled and tools setup for csound by tomorrow. I am planning on using python batch files (I will include python but I will rename it I think to py or something to avoid confusion) to generate the build files (instead of make).

processing library for csound....

2010-08-21T09:52:00.001-07:00

I am looking into the processing library for csound and it looks prommising... I do have some unansered questions... Is there going to be a problem if csound upgades to a newer version.... I.E. can I just drop that version of csound along with that version of processing into a program and have it work forever or is it going to break if I upgrade to a newer version of csound.... I am seeing an opertunity to create a slider code generator since the work has already been done for you (python is a good program for that and you would only need the python25.exe for that and not all the libraries...) It could end up being a way to highlight opertunities for processing as a language to improve and not something that can be used permantly but it looks realy good on first sight and it is only a meg when you drop it into a program.

It is best not to grab it from ziddu.com. They are giving scareware warnings and if you do have trouble go into safe mode with networking and look up the software giving the warnings.

With a couple of extra options to make it more than just one more midi to freq program.. I also am planning a new version of ride tab editor that is a little more cleaned up, works better with linux and compiled so you don't have to deal with the source unless you want to.

This is a forked version of pygame sound test3. There is cleary something that isn't working right with this but it is almost ready to be added to three sound editing programs as soon as I figure out why my notes sound like it does. this version reads the notes from a text file instead of the keyboard.

One module that I wanted was missing and that was the timeline module I have been looking for something I can use and change for note duration exc but no sourcode for this. soundfall looks intresting it is a pygame audio game and there is some more example sound sourcecode available with noiselib currently only perlin noise is available

Pyvst python vst wrapper is now available. Looks like he has a fantastic vst programming site as well. I haven't tested it as yet but I am inclined to include as many formats as possible because it works with my concept. I don't usualy pay that much attention to graphics but there is a fantastic looking package called formlayout that make it realy realy easy to make data entry forms very easy to make in qt. It is so easy that I am looking to maybe auto-generate forms from csound instruments.

unreal engine 3 review

2010-02-05T19:15:00.000-08:00

This is a huge download but there are two realy good features that are worth noting. It has some very good sound effects included and it includes some help videos that show you exactly what they are doing. On the down side the video's are kinda short maybe it would be use-full to have them all as one video so you don't have to click all the time (maybe it works better for other contexts like a portable player). It looks like it would be a beautiful tool to misuse to create soundtracks or even to create animation without any intent for gameplay. It does have sort of a jeskola buzz look and feel or synthedit once you get into the actual sound effect construction.

I know here in corpus christi, I might have some access to windows mobile customers (older phones) but I don't know if that translates into getting the older phones... pygame becomes realy intresting but you have other midi libraries... As the phone computer prices drop you might see more multiplatform (ie computers and phone computers) software packages..

This is a drum machine piano roll front end that is independent. Some minor changes would have to be made for this to work in linux or the mac. The file name to be executed is included in an external file called exfile.inc This seems to work well in concept. I was trying to use a different button and would be glad to hear from someone who know how to get that to work the graphics are not what I would like in this version. I included sound test in this but didn't fork it to use external data it is just there as an example program.

probability sequencing language

probability sequencing language Help file

The commands are simple at the start of every line you would have a frequency started by a letter

f110

or you can define it with drift i.e.

f110+1

this will make the frequeny drift on every iteration. In the roll you can have a percent chance or an x to define a 100% chance a period would be ignored.

f110+1 x . 30
f300 . . 50

you can include an entire csound line starting with an @ symbol. this would be saved in a file with a mac extension for macro (this feature is inspired by macro music language as implemented for 8 bit game machines).

the duration of the note or the time between notes can be defined with
dur=.25 step=.2

please keep in mind that you cannot have spaces in the defined value, this is done to make it really easy to code it in python.

probility language for Music Macro Language

2009-10-25T08:50:00.000-07:00

I was asking about text based tracker formats and someone on kvr told me about Music Macro Language. I suppose I saw in in stuff like gwbasic, free basic exc, but when I saw it in all those old game machines like the nes and thier desire to have something that is not midi based, I realised that it was for me. what I have now is just a rough sketch. It works a little different that the one I did on csound.

A note has to fire so it has to equal 100% the first like has all the headings. in this case r is rest (in nes it may be different in other platforms.

a c b r

the lines under that will have the percentages

a c b r
10 20 10 60

in this case rest is a note and if it fires you do not get a sound.

the first number is the frequency it needs to start with one letter f is good. periods are skipped, numbers are a percentage chance that the note will be used. I am planning on two commands

You can redifine these as long as there is no space between the = and the number. now that I can use linux on my windows machine I will be able to test it in both os's. This is a pre-release preview for any reader I might have.

2009-10-01T05:39:00.000-07:00

csound ifn parser 1.04

changes, improved ifn number list
depreaceted csound command list
deprecated csound command locater.

csound ifn parser is a set of command line tools and lists that are ment to be reusable in csound editors including but not limited to code editors, tracker style editors, code generators.. hopefully this encorages inovation in csound editors hopefully including having python (or another programming language) embeded in the code editors with control of the input and output windows. A midi list may be available in the next version to help convert from doing real time

ifn parser 1.04

ifn locater

2009-09-26T17:52:00.001-07:00

I came up with a new use for the list of ifn numbers for csound orc or csd files... It will locate all opcodes that have ifn numbers, give the line number and print the position of the opcodes. I will include it with the next ifn parser. looks like I may have to wait a couple of days for the new csound 11, seems the beta of the installer is down.

ifn parser update

2009-09-25T13:02:00.000-07:00

seems like it was picking up part of a word so it looks for the word and a space now.will now be able to update the ifn number even if it is a variable defined earlier.included freeware editor that can sort lines (requires java 1.6 or 6 I am not sure how they work).I would like to know of any files that would break the program. uses python 2.5 you may need to takeout some print commands for python 3.0+

steve yi wrote an very good article that is worth mentioning on this subject about style.the changes over time (in csound) have made it easy to do by hand but harder to program if you wanteverything without redoing tons of orc codes.

This album was left for me behind the burger king (in corpus christi)... I am finding it intresting it appears to have been released in nov of 2001 and there is no telling when the songs were written. It is a fantastic rapping album that is set to electronic music. I don't have the album cover but they might be using some stuff from jeskola buzz. It sounds like ruff speccy is used on one of the tracks. keyboard and maybe tracker music is used for this album. It sounds like the 911 attack may be the source of some of the content.. In and of itself it doesn't mean anything, you also have an artist by the name of Milton Powell who is on the only way to beat us is to cheat us track.
Another mainstay of huston (robert mahomed of the nation of islam) would say that you see things much differntly when you are walking around than when you are driving around in a car.. I haven't had a chance to listen to and examine powell's material to see if it match's up with other material I have with powell in the name.. So far it is just after 911 that has electronic music in it... The track in question was not in working shape when I recieved it... We don't play that here, You always loose when you cheat us... :) I may consider ordering some tracks to complete the album, as it tells a story I can relate to...
As far as the band goes one member of the band had done themselves in somewhere around 1999 if my information is correct and the label has a crime stopper number for a member of the label that was murdured.. (not that unusual for rap most likely)

pygame music grid beta .1

2009-06-29T04:04:00.000-07:00

I don't think I am ready to declare a release yet but I will post it here. This is a base for piano rolls, sequencers drum machines exc in the python library pygame. This is tested in python 2.5. It isn't as far as the pycap version but the graphics are working alot better.. it is based on an ants demo from some python book I will need to look up so I can credit better. The rest of the code is stuff I have released before.. The intention is that it will read a file for the default values including an external python file that will recieve data from the grid.. The grid doesn't have to know anything and will be reused

drum tab editor for csound

2009-06-15T04:05:00.000-07:00

I made some simple changes to ride tab editor... I haven't realy made the changes yet but I have a command line file that changes the tabs to a csound format.. It realy needs an intrument bank and I haven't did the open and close notation yet. I tested it and it looks like the editor should work from python 2.3 to 2.5 but it does give deprecion warnings for wxpython. you can also grab the compiled version at sourceforge.. the new script is drum_tab_to_csound.py

2009-06-11T23:55:00.000-07:00

I recently discovered the python like nimrod programming language. It looks like it is alot further along than shedskin as far as being able to use it in parsers exc. It compiles to linux, mac and windows. I am also going to change the license on it to a dual gpl, proprietary language as long as the documentation is distributed along with it and credit is given for the parser. I will be giving nimrod an exception since they did alot of the work it is o.k. with me for them to include it in the docs. This is an untested version that is said to compile..

2009-06-05T03:36:00.000-07:00

getting paid for your music online is back.. realy it is any download up to 200 meg but there are special tools for audio giving you a choice between playing the file and downloading the file. it is perfect for whaver including podcats, video, software whatever... I think the best way to set it up would be a web page with google ads with links to the music/down loads whatever...

2009-05-31T08:58:00.001-07:00

I am playing around with balabolka(text to speech) and it uses microsoft ana on my vista machine.. Att claims it has better voices than microsoft so it may be worth a try I find microsoft ana a little bit to robotic. The python project dexml came out it claims it is a dead simple xml I was thinking about playing around with some simple parsing of csd files with it, I started searching for more text to speech I came up with my last name dexter and my city corpus (probily out of context) , I will feel much better a couple of day from now if I am not found in a field :). I haven't decided if it is worth uploading podcasts or not since the advertising part of the deal is no more. I have been playing around with iron python and jython to see if there was anything I wanted to steal, to get a toggle on .net you start with a check box and then set the apearence to button or something like that and if there is a way to get something other than grey than .net it is, plus they have amusing podcasts like .net rocks.

pygame libraries usefull for piano rolls, drum machines exc

2009-05-23T18:15:00.000-07:00

I am starting to look through the pygame libraries for python to see what would be useful for drum machines or piano rolls, (times lines exc....). two libraries stand out one is albow. They have a widget called gridview that is a good start on almost any project. This is the one I am currently playing around with. ocempgui is another one. It has a toggle widget that is a rectangle. The problem with the latter one is that it isn't obvious how to change the color of it..

pycap drum machine or piano roll 1.0

2009-04-13T07:34:00.000-07:00

Fixed the save file, added text that loads from a text file called text.dat also added a helpfile.html. You can use it as a drum machine or a piano roll or whatever you like, just drop this file in with the full distro from the beta.

to do...
get a real button class for the save button (everything is roll your own)
get a link to the help file
nasty bug with the all the text changes color when the save button is pressed.

I was looking for a template or a preprocessor (for the gui classes) but I don't know If I will distribute a distro or not.. seems like a lot of work and pre-processing is probily easier to program from scratch rather than from m4, ml1 exc.

Drum machine

pycap drum machine or piano roll beta...

2009-04-10T03:49:00.000-07:00

There are some serious issues.. The goal is a graphic program for other programs where the graphics and the sound are seperate such as csound. I came across pycap (popcap with python bindings) when I was looking through game engines and noticed that it will work places that an sdl based library can not. I don't know that scite is recomended for editing spacing can cause the python.dll to crash without letting you know what happened. idle is probily a much better idea.. This version isn't saving correctly but it is very close

free basic piano roll grid..

2009-03-28T09:09:00.000-07:00

I think I want this to change into a pre-processor (or a mini interpreted language) for free basic that does grids (arrays of boxes) and then saves them out to disk (for use by another program) or is piped into another program or script.. The intended purpose would be drum machines and piano rolls

free basic grid proof of concept

I am just working towards getting it to compile befour I get fancy..

wxpython piano roll

2009-03-13T16:06:00.000-07:00

piano roll

This is most of a piano roll written in python and wxpython.. basicly it is a grid of rectangles with mouse support.. I haven't finished it because I am going to try the same program in javascript to see it has better results. For higher end systems you can also try pygame for netbooks or older computers this is probily a very nice head start. It is origianly intended for csound.

This software is released in the hope it may be fixed.
If you intend to distribute it a fixed version must be released

pythoneon

2009-02-18T09:39:00.000-08:00

I have downloaded this python program called pythoneon (or library I should state)

http://pypi.python.org/simple/pythoneon/

the doc's said he didn't know if it works in windows. It looks like it does with the exception of a program called live (that may not be that important anyway and I may delete it for a us version). I started to translate the documentation from french. It doesn't look like there is any documentation except for the document lines that are spread throughout the program and I am not aware of any examples. I would have to translate quite a bit of the program to determine how to write the music editor or how to include/extend the project. seems like there are alot of odd charecters that don't show up in my charecter set for some reason. I currently have a 5 page translation of some miss files that are of limited use... It may be some time befour I finish the translation so check this blog for details....

paino roll.... I have a simple piano roll for csound and wxpython started.. My recent searches are turning up alot of them coded in lisp for whatever reason.. I haven't been that motivated to finish it.. I am thinking about some unusual features like user set times between each note.. One of the advantages of not using bpm.. I also have stolin the idea of clicking on the piano key to set other atributes.. aljira said it was using thought baloons but I think pop up boxes may look more traditional...

The newest version of colin1911 (colin 1911 or copowel911) is now online

copowel1911

I fixed a bug in the file loading and added two more formats (exsisting files not new files)
I added more help files and a new (untested compiler for free basic)
fixed a bug in the first compiler (syntax error these are not tested)

debugging or sounds idea's exc are welcome.

copowel1911

I made a small change to the free basic compiler but some editing still has to happen. I added a new file format called qb1. The idea is to use the qbasic or quick basic format of

freq dur filename

filename is added so that I can add code for loops where file name is the name of the code and then there will have to be a command of some sort to indicate where the sound code goes.. This is going to be for the sound command for qbasic, qbasic and qb64 as well as being compatable with free basic. I don't think there was alot of music written with the sound command but it certanily is possible to use it and I have seen mention that it could be tried.

2008-12-01T04:05:00.000-08:00

New version of copowel1911 alright it is colin1911 but somewhere along the line I changed the name and didn't mean to. I added the ability to create new files. I also have a work around for the free basic file type and now there is most of a compiler fbcompile. turns the fb1 files into basic files... leave a coma on the end for now..

colin1911 sound editor now supports free basic

2008-11-28T05:22:00.000-08:00

This is the latest version of the colin1911 sound editor.. It now supports free basic but currently It is still glitched and is missing the compiler parts not to mention You should be able to create new files... This requires python and wxpython. a concept that is most likely heresy to free basic users (tested with python 2.5)... the file that I have working is test.fb1, I seem to be stuck on 12 columns when I need 14

colin1911

the name comes from a turn of the century construction company that used to stamp thier names in the sidewalk.

I have been surfing alot of the basic boards looking for ways to generate slider banks where they are all the same size and custom sliders that show up on the screen in different sizes.. i.e. load a track and have it show up as the size of the song.. Heres a couple of threads showing how to create sound in free basic and I may be converting at least one of these into a code generator shortly.. one uses windows api and the other uses direct sound

"You have what I like to call the three i's the inovators, the imitators and the idiots" warren buffet.

I have never been that fond of dll files and I was looking for way to create popup sliders for non-real time csound files. Its a very simple format that can be used to create slider banks for any wxpython, python setup. I don't know if it can be use inside of csound but you can generate your data and then run it with csound or any other program for that matter.

I may be willing to trade if there is a desire to include this with another program i.e. some usefull code for my project

This is the home page for the synthisys toolkit and calico editor called colin1911. The requirements are python and wxpython. If you want to modify your copy you may want boa constructor. There is no content without you so If you find the editor and the concept useful give us a a couple of samples on the board. The current version is for windows but some samll changes would make it work for the mac. Hopefuly this is as useful as some of the vst or dxi editors out there. I also have a simular one called dex tracker available for csound

dseq language

2008-09-02T17:15:00.000-07:00

I am looking at dseq A Drum Machine by Jacob Joaquin ( for csound ). I haven't gone through all the docs yet and I am not sure about the rights exc. I have been wanting to try a graphical interface since I have seen it, I don't want anyone to think I have anything against it. I see that it has a nice collection of instruments with it it is just a matter of code generating it to a way that you are not used to thinking. I am exploring graphics and music language as seperate constructs, ones that can be adapted to other programs and languages easily. I will put that on my list of possible projects unless there is some kind of request/reason for/against it.

csound drum machine

It is silly how easy this is it is clarinet though and not drums. my working title is fruity toots. It is programed in python and wxpython and it generates code for the score file. I also updated the parser to include ifn numbers and a few that are numbered to get around some of the variable argument issues. defining the ifn number as a constant like ifn = 1 is common in the manual.

2 subs parse and net csound

2008-08-29T00:10:00.000-07:00

In theory you can use csound on every platform with internet acess with netcsound. You can use a web based spreadsheet for editing and run python apps (including gen of excel spreadsheets) at http://www.utilitymill.com

should you realy parse a instrument file evertime you run it with every csound command using several parsing rules?? My thoughts are that maybe I need to generate a parse file that lists the command and the parse rule and the line number.. If you don't do that you go through the entire list everytime and go into lines you don't need... I am going to leave the program the way it is for now..

Command line csound parsing

2008-08-27T18:28:00.000-07:00

Command line csound parsing

This will parse a csound file and add a number to the so called ifn (the function number) in the orc. file.. Not all commands will follow the rule that is used in this "parser".. for extra credit find a parser that follows the rules of another group of commands...

The file is cross platform and should run on any platform that csound runs on including cell phones (if that is usefull).. distributed by permission only, The csd file is from csound and goes by thier licince (I don't get backing from a university)

mingus for python and parsing csound

2008-08-24T08:25:00.000-07:00

2008/08/24 mingus 0.1.7.5 has been released. The release pushes some bug fixes in the core and adds a lot of new features (tutorials should be expected soon). Work on the mingus.draw sub-package has also begun, resulting in some simple images already.

It parses!!!!!! I parsed csound found the command and was able to change if ifn (I think that is integer function number and if it isn't that is what I am going to call it anyway)... I seem to be saving out several copies of my line though. I found some things in python that seem realy odd. nested for line in infile (replace infile with name of second file)... once you go through the file that is it.. your finished it doesn't reset. That seems to be the bigest chalenge in parsing csound files. Fighting with python to make it fit the flowchart.. The example on the python board wasn't to close but I made major changes and it has error checking stuff that made sence. joining doesn't seem to work all that well for them and it is a concept I haven't been using.. I am not a joiner I am a man of words i.e. for word in line:

I am excited to see mingus for python is supporting graphics.. I am not sure what I can do with it, I have been wanting a piano roll but I am expecting that it is going to be staff notation... some concepts like bpm are being ignored right now to take a different path.. One taken by some notable packages like stk toolkit.

another try at parsing

2008-08-17T09:51:00.000-07:00

after a day of debugging my code generator seems like alot of work in python and it seems like it would be alot easier to generate in awk. What does that mean.. It's the aproach yes I could do it the way I am doing it but it would be easier to use a grid and create and parse it with another grid and not generate any code (I think)... THe comment language is almost the only thing that works the same as those befour me.. I only looked at windows and projects that worked on my machine well.

I am looking at the enthought python package. I had avoided using it because it was 2.4 and I moved to 2.5.. I am under the impression that there is no problem using muliple versions (I wasn't then).. The plugin system looks interesting in that they have editors already built.. There is some broken stuff also but it is stuff that probily isn't of use to me anyway.. (enthought may want to know about it though).. There is some instructions in the graphics maya I believe that should have come with an example batch file. I am in the looking phase.. It looks like there are output windows for code (compilers like csound) and thats a big feature that I have been looking for.. The right to distribute code though is a big question mark.. I have been very fortunate that my computer didn't get wet... I had more real rain drops than water splash screens...

changing table numbers csound command line program

2008-08-01T08:35:00.000-07:00

In order to combine .sco and .orc files that contain tables the table numbers will have to change and the tables after the first instrument will have to be moved.
The following is a beta in the python programming language to change the table numbers in the .orc file.. some examples in the manual use a constant instead of assigning a number.. that shouldn't be a problem.. Other files may be though.

import sys

opcode = sys.argv[0]

tablenumber = sys.argv[1]

newtablenumber = str(sys.argv[2])

inputfile = open(sys.argv[3], 'r')

outputfile = open(sys.argv[4], 'w')

for line in inputfile:

  if opcode in line:

    if opcode == 'oscil':

        count = 0

        for word in line:

            count = count + 1

            if count == 5

                word == newtablenumber

    outputfile.write(line)

The first one is for calico from art assault. Until I work up a device for the header this will have to do. Just copy and paste and save as calico.sco (for now anyway a future version will have this included). I am not sure what is (c) is for this or his plans so it probily is best music only.

This one is for skini files that are used with The Synthesis ToolKit in C++ (STK). There is a demo file with the instruments already compiled. You can also convert humdrum files to skini.

juce audio library

2008-07-21T05:39:00.000-07:00

This is a creapy library... One of the often quoted things is that programmers write free sofware because they want to be loved... You load up the library and start to compile it... You see vfw (one letter off from dfw, love and dfw are both dallas area airports)... and you see warning warning and then it crashes.... You are compiling juce in the compile all solutions option on microsoft visual c++ express 2008.... You go over to codeblocks and try to compile it with mingw and try to compile it to an .a file (instead of .lib file like microsoft) and it doesn't tell you there is an error until after 1/2 hour and then it gives an error at some forced inline function... It is creapy like an airport... You get the look and feel functions exc... exc... .cpp maybe a letter off from cop.. I am just stating how creapy it looks and they suggest they want someone to pay for it.. (or you can use it free under gpl).. I would suggest a different british company and source from another source for the host plugins..

Where your tax money goes

mono samples are very useful if you know how to use them.. The question is why is the U.S. government paying for a system that competes with american buisness on one hand and not using it to kill people with less watts (military uses on the other hand).. The free part may be inevitable, and less watts should be something that is demanded of out t.v. sets and computers..

The danger is that just like dimonds where the arms of people in devoloping countries are cut off to control the diamond trade, One ear of the children in devoping countries is cut off and thier music computers resold on ebay.

compiling stk on windows

2008-07-05T18:12:00.000-07:00

To compile stk (synthisys tool kit) on windows you first need to download visual c++ from microsoft. You also need to get dsound.lib from a source. What I did was take it from masm ( microsoft assembler available as a free download ) I then copied it to the visual c++ program. Everything then compiled.. I am not sure why microsoft is so big on the word solution all of a sudden it has to do with all those backward natzi's and thier backward swatzika (India) that they are hiring maybe

http://delysid.org/freedots.html I was looking into the new python projects and came upon this one.. For some reason they are using pygame.. requires alot of memory on your graphics card so it doesn't work right on alot of laptops. I was having trouble with this quote because I have gtk on my my windows system..

The editing GUI does not work on Windows in an accessible way since GTK is not accessible on Windows yet. gui.py probably needs a rewrite in wxPython to be more cross-platform compatible.
