A new version of Common Music is available via anonymous ftp from
ccrma-ftp.stanford.edu:/pub/Lisp/cm/cm.*
ftp.zkm.de:/pub/cm/cm.*
This release contains several new machine ports and some major new
functionality:
New machine ports:
o Mac: PPC-native MCL 3.9. Includes a new shared library MIDI interface
by Tobias Kunze.
o SGI: Allegro Common Lisp 4. 3.
o Intel: ACL 3.0 for Windows. (No direct MIDI connection but the glue
code (C and Lisp)
is there for someone with a C compiler and enough interest.)
Major new features:
o Non-consing scheduler and two clock modes to support real-time algorithmic
composition. A new tutorial chapter explains this basic new functionality:

o 32 logical channels MIDI I/O (Mac, NeXT, SGI)
o IO processing now handled asynchronously wherever possible
o See doc/changes.text for a complete listing of new features and changes.
