Subject: [CM] installing SND on OS X
Message-ID: <EEDECDEA-64A2-11D7-A08B-0030656D5980@solipsist.org>

I'm trying to install SND on OS X. I believe I have all the 
dependencies, but configure gives me this;

checking for GTK+ - version >= 2.0.0... no
configure: WARNING: trouble with gtk -- will try to make Snd without 
any GUI

I'm not sure why, I installed gtk;

/sw/include/gtk-2.0/gtk/gtk.h
/sw/include/gtk-2.0/gtk/gtkaccelgroup.h
/sw/include/gtk-2.0/gtk/gtkaccellabel.h
/sw/include/gtk-2.0/gtk/gtkaccelmap.h
< etc. >

Perhaps I'm missing something in my path? manual change to the makefile?

Suggestions appreciated, thanks.

suggestion 1.) don't use gtk, use Motif www.motifzone.com
use Apples X11 
grab the libXm.a file from the server
put it in /usr/X11R6/lib
use the basic makefile _not the makefile.motif.osx

change the make file to 
reflect /usr/X11R6/lib/libXm.a

configure with --disable-nls --without-gsl

make sure you have esd or something for sound in your PATH
it should be in /usr/X11R6/bin

you may be able to Fink it

that shoudl do you.

cheers~

then
(func 2)

The sequencing syntax in Scheme is:

(begin
  (func 1)
  (func 2)
  ...)

In LISP the same is:

(progn
  (func 1)
  (func 2)
  ...)

Both will evaluate to whatever the last s-expression in
the body evaluates to.

In scheme its called 'begin' and in cltl its called 'progn' -- you can 
use either in cm-2.4.0.
However, if by "sequence" you mean you want to pass a series of 
processes to the events function then that sort of sequence is really a 
datatype, ie a list:

(events (list (func 1) (func 2)) "foo.clm" 99)

Is the path to pkg-config on your PATH list? (I think printenv
can tell you in OSX, though it had a name like dread in
the NeXT).  There may be a way to set the path for configure.
I'm glad to hear that gtk 2 is finally ported to OSX!

Yes, if you read my last message carefully again you will see that the 
term "sequence" has several meanings. By your example it is apparent 
that you want to pass a LIST of things to the 'events' function  for it 
to process. so you need to use the LIST function, not PROGN or BEGIN:

(events (list (ttone1 36 row1 60 .2 .5)
               (ttone1 36 row4 48 .2 .5))
         "ttone1.sco"
         :header "#include 'master_score.sco'"
         :options "-d -b1344"
         :orchestra "/csound/system/master_score.orc"
         :output "dac")

Hello,
I've been using  Snd on Linux for some time now, and I like it a lot.  
I had heard that it was possible to build it on Mac OS X, so I decided 
to give it a try.  I'm running OS X Jaguar, with the latest version of 
X and the X headers from Apple.  I also grabbed the Motif developer 
packages from Motifzone.  ./configure runs, but make farts and dies.  
I'm new to building on OS X in general - should I be using 
ProjectBuilder?  (I had been doing everything from the command line.)   
Is there a pre-built Snd for OS X available?
Thanks,
dgm

How's your make die? My attempts currently fail at the same point. I 
posted my relevant files for Bill, and he says my guile setup is 
inconsistent. Since I installed guile w/ Fink and haven't touched it 
otherwise, I'm thinking there might be a problem w/ Fink's guile. I'm 
completely and totally ignorant of guile though, so it might be my bad 
somehow. I was going to try compiling it w/ Ruby instead of guile next. 
In any case, here are my make errors;

Hi all,

Any help will be appreciated.  Thanks in advance,

Subject: [CM] Ruby additions in Snd from Michael Scholz
Message-ID: <200304091156.EAA20102@cmn14.stanford.edu>

Michael Scholz has added several more rb files to Snd:
dlocsig.rb (from Fernando's dlocsig in CLM), ws.rb,
nb.rb, noise.rb (and .scm), index.rb, maxf.rb (and .scm),
and additions to examp.rb.  A bazillion thanks!

It was nostalgic to read those Sambox-era comments from
noise.ins -- I had forgotten them.  Took me back to the
old lab and the smell of tarweed.

Hi, I am Ali Serkan Sevilgen. I am a senior student at Music Technology 
Department of Yildiz Technical University in Istanbul, Turkey. I am 
working on my senior project which aims to explore the compositional 
possibilities in computer music. I hope this project will be a good 
starting point in Turkey to attract academical interest to computer 
music.

I see that Common Music is the most widely used composition tool having 
Csound score file generation ability. However for a novice like me it 
is tricky to use it, even to install it (at least for me). I am very 
new to Lisp and Emacs (I've started learning Lisp after realizing CM is 
written in Lisp) and also have some experience in programming. I need 
something like "Common Music for Dummies" since i couldn't even install 
the software neither on Linux nor Windows. I searched the internet, 
found something but it didn't work.

I don't want to bother the list with my beginner questions however, I 
really need help. Will anyone who has time (and patience:) may contact 
me, please? All help will be very appreciated.

Best Regards

Ali Serkan Sevilgen

Hello Ali, you might find this link useful:
	http://pinhead.music.uiuc.edu/~hkt/nm/
just click on the glowing lambda...
the first 7 chapters are introductory lisp; the remaining chapters are 
computer composition. the last chapter (24) talks a bit about csound (i 
have some edits to add to this chapter today).  there are a number of 
kind and knowledgable people on this list that use csound, im sure one 
or more of them can help you with csound related issues as problems 
arise. you might want to check out clm for sound synthesis as well.
good luck!

well thats a bit distressing. Normally I make "binary releases" so 
people can just start up. but thats not going to happen for a few weeks.

1. get the following file:
	ftp://ccrma-ftp.stanford.edu/pub/Lisp/cm/sources/cm-2.4.0.tar.gz
2. install it on your computer, preferbaly using Linux rather than 
Windows, but whatever...
3. There is a cm-2.4.0/readme.text in the top level directory explains 
what to do
basically, you boot your lisp, then load the cm-2.4.0/src/cm.lisp file:

     hkt at pinhead:~% clisp
     [1]>  (load "/Lisp/cm-2.4.0/src/cm.lisp")
     [.....]
     ; Sources were compiled. To save Common Music,
     ; quit and restart Lisp, then reload cm.lisp.

the loading will compile cm from its sources. then quit lisp and do it 
again to save the image:

     [1]> (exit)
     Bye.
     hkt at pinhead:~/ clisp
     [1]>  (load "/Lisp/cm-2.4.0/src/cm.lisp")
     [...]

     ; Saving startup script: "/Lisp/bin/cm-2.4.0/clisp/cm"
     ; Saving Xemacs startup script: "/Lisp/bin/cm-2.4.0/clisp/xcm"
     T
     [2]>


thats it. you can use the 'cm' script to start cm in any shell
use the 'xcm' script to start cm under Xemacs -- assuming you have 
xemacs installed (type 'which xemacs' in your shell to find out -- the 
xcm script does not work with regular emacs.)

Message-ID: <Pine.A41.4.44.0304161827540.59202-100000@homer04.u.washington.edu>

For the first time since the summer I've downloaded a fresh copy of CLM to
my Mac. In compiling, the following error occurred -- for some reason it
didn't write out the clmLib even though it went through the motions of
compiling it. This occurs consistently on each attempt to load all.lisp:

;Loading #P"Macintosh HD:Applications (Mac OS 9):clm-2:maclib.pfsl"...
"compiling Macintosh HD:Applications (Mac OS 9):clm-2:clmLib..."
"Copying clmLib to Macintosh HD:System Folder:Extensions:..."
> Error: File not found: #P"Macintosh HD:Applications (Mac OS
9):clm-2:clmLib"
> While executing: CCL::%PATH-TO-IOPB

----------

I worked around it by copying my old clmLib into the clm-2 folder.

However, I was then finding that my instruments were not loading
correctly. Specifically:

? (load "Macintosh
HD:Battey:Studio:Research:PICACS:picacs:clm:sndwarp:sndwarp")
> Error: Cannot initialize #<STANDARD-CLASS SNDWARP> because INS doesn't
exist
> While executing: CCL::INITIALIZE-CLASS

-----------

So, I decide to try recompiling the .ins file and get the following
new warnings

;Compiler warnings for "Macintosh
HD:Battey:Studio:Research:PICACS:picacs:clm:sndwarp:sndwarp.ins" :
;   Unused lexical variable SCORETIME, in (WRITE-EVENT (SNDWARP CLM-FILE
T)).
;   Unused lexical variable SCORETIME, in (WRITE-EVENT (SNDWARP SCO-FILE

---------

And trying to load now returns:

; Compiling "Macintosh

I occurred to me that there might be changes requiring a new clmLib, so
that brings me back to trying to get around the original clmLib
compile problem...

One minor insight: The warning about "Unused lexical variable SCORETIME"
in the instrument compile actually seems to have something to do with my
changing to CM 2.4 -- related to some of the functions in clm.lisp in that
package rather than in CLM itself.

All other CLM aspects work as they should when I compile CM 2.4 with my
older (and hand-revised with changes that should now be in the new)
version of CLM.

Make the following changes to allow clmLib to compile:

cmus.h
Line 137 Change to
   void set_lisp_callbacks (void (*lp)(char *),void 
(*ep)(void),void(*sp)(void));

clmmpw.pch
Add After Line 3
#include <stdio.h>

Apparently with the previous version, everything was compiled without 
function prototypes (scary!) but now they are turned on so an error 
happened since it didn't know about FILE * (which is taken care of by 
including stdio.h).

clmLib will now compile, but it won't work yet. There are some names 
which changed mus_sound_data_loaction is now clm_sound_data_location, 
etc. Changes need to be made in mac.lisp I think? I don't have time 
to look into it right now but perhaps Bill could fix it more easily.


Best regards,

Michael

the unused variable warning is a cm issue -- apparently that lexical 
varibale is not referenced while compiling output methods but i think 
it should be. ill have to track this down -- can you please send me the 
.ins file?

Thanks!  I merged those changes into my version.  We used
to turn prototypes off by hand somehow -- I don't remember why.

> There are some names
> which changed mus_sound_data_loaction is now clm_sound_data_location,

This wasn't a name change, but a dumb patch -- to handle large files
in those systems that have them, some parts of sndlib changed int to
off_t; the clm_* functions
convert (truncate...) the off_t back to int if that value is being passed
back to Lisp and the Lisp in question doesn't support 64-bit
ints through its FFI.  This is not an issue in the old Mac OS/MCL,
so the existing code should be ok.

I'll check out the other stuff.  It's probably been a year since
I tried to run anything on the old Mac OS.

It's possible to compile clmlib by hand in MPW's excuse for a shell --
mac.help has instructions -- this will at least display the compiler's
error message.

well _that_ was sure fun.

but ive managed to get the last chapter in place for anyone that would 
care to read it and send me comments:

http://pinhead.music.uiuc.edu/~hkt/nm/23/spectral.html

i will be sending a draft to Swets this week but since there is a 
review process I will still have time to fix things up. A sincere thank 
you to all the people that have taken time to read it and send me typos 
and comments, it has helped me so much!

im going to release a new tar file of cm that works with the last 
chapter by wednesday, i just have to add a make-load-form for tunings 
and modes and some new documentation. then cm-2.4.0 will be done execpt 
for testing.

  Given the attached CM code, what would I need to do to have the CMN

init-with-sound and finish-with-sound in ws.scm (for CM)
moved dismiss-all-dialogs to snd6.scm
change-property -> change-window-property (old form in snd6.scm)
samples function now returns a vct to be consistent with everything else
OSX audio can handle non-built-in devices (emagic 2|6 was used in testing)
check-for-unsaved-edits arg defaults to #t now
added several more header readers

in CLM, from Fernando:
  grani.ins: added option for sending grains to all channels

Subject: [CM] Changing the playtime of a file with snd
Message-ID: <200304261239.HAA25262@despammed.com>

Hi,

I'd like to know if its possible to change the playtime 
of a file of a file while keeping the pitch.
(eg. a 1 kHz sine in the in file should be a 1 kHz sine in the out file)

I've tried it with sox:

sox in.wav out.wav stretch 0.95

but the out.wav sounds realy bad.


Thanks,
Peter

Subject: [CM] sound-maxamp?
Message-ID: <a05200e00bad1126531b2@[66.114.68.65]>

Perhaps someone can explain how sound-maxamp should be used in clm-2. 
In clm-1 it was a function of 1 argument. I'm not sure what the 
second argument should be. The documentation isn't too helpful. It 
says:
	get max amp vals and times of file name in vals

So I guess vals is an array? I tried this
(defun sound-max-maxamp (filename)
   (let ((amps (make-integer-array 2)))
     (sound-maxamp filename amps)
     amps))

? (sound-max-maxamp "signals:foo.aiff")
#(43065 5872025)
?

Not very helpful... Maybe this is a MacOS only issue? I suppose I 
could look at the C sources :(


Best regards,

Michael

There are three built-in ways; the most robust is the "expand" control
in the control panel (it uses granular synthesis); the oldest is the
phase vocoder ("that old trick never works"); the best is rubber-sound
in rubber.scm, but it's slow and only works on "well-behaved" sounds.

(defvar maxes (make-integer-array (* 2 chans)))
(sound-maxamp filename maxes)

the maxamp is the second of the 2 vals, the sample number the first.
The C code is mus_sound_maxamp in sound.c, used by the with-sound
statistics printer in print-statistics in io.lisp. This is a
wrapper around the real code to try to acoomodate the mismatch
between Lisp and C in types.  The maxamp is a 24-bit int,
so you need to call fix-to-real to turn it into a float in Lisp.
Your code example was correct:

> ? (sound-max-maxamp "signals:foo.aiff")
> #(43065 5872025)

This is saying the maxamp occurred at sample 43065 and had the
value (clm::fix-to-real 5872025) which is 0.7.  I'll expand
the documentation (this wasn't well-documented because it is
obviously broken).

Subject: [CM] the XCM start file
Message-ID: <20030430205230.A9C6E337CC@www.fastmail.fm>

Hello!

I?m a Music student here in Colombia-SouthAmerica interested in synthesis
and composition that came to the metalevel site almost by casuality. I am
very impressed with the very good information found in the book, and the
level of interest to make it clear to the musical-oriented student like
me. Thank you (to Rick Taube) for making it freely available.

Though, I have a question about the book/cm, the xcm script file that
suposedly must be created at compile time, didn?t appear in my machine
(redhat8), that?s why i?m asking if anybody can send it to me. or help me
creating one from scratch.

Second (well, yes i said ONE question before), the syntax
highlighting/indentation/whatever features presented in the examples are
the representation of the real examples? they work in XEmacs?

Thanks in advance for anybody that can answer my questions!

you should find both a cm and an xcm script in whatever directory you saved
the binaries to.
but this doesnt happen when you compile the files, it happens when you load
cm.lisp a second time -- that will save the lisp image and generated the
scripts. You should see a message in the Lisp window to that effect when it
happend.

yes, syntax highlighting can look like the html pages (and even better) in
Xemacs.
You can turn highlighting on under the Options menu in Xemacs.
I will be writing an appendix that disusses xemacs and xcm but
not for a week or two, i have to get the manuscript off to the publishers
asap.
