piano.lisp troubles

[Larry Troxler]

I'm tried to use the physically-modelled piano instrument included with
the CLM distribution, but I couldn't
get it to work correctly.

I am trying to run it from CM, and in case it matters, the CLM version I'm
using is not the recently announced one, but the one that had been on the
site before it.

The problem is that what ever parameters I use, and how ever many notes I
play,  I seem to always get a single note which seems to always use the
same parameters regardless of what I specify. I'm running on Linux.

Also, it seems like the print method isn't quite working right.

Here's a short log:


Number of ps to create: (<cr>=*) 3

Also, a more general CM/CLM question: Whatever instruments I load while in
CM, I always have to do a "make-instance" before I can create instances in
threads. Otherwise, I get a message about the class not being finalized
(or something like that). Is this normal?
