[CM] Newbie learning. . . . CM / CLM-3 / SND / Scheme???

Hello Bill,

Oops, not intending to be so selective in my quoting. . . the below quote just jumped out at me.

So would you suggest the Snd route as the modern way forward? Just a quick glance at the Snd pages, the option of using Ruby looks somewhat more approachable for the lisp clueless.

I suppose if I have a go with the docs I can work out how to use Snd as a batchable Music V engine?

So you're suggesting this path rather than the clm-3?


Thanks,
Jo

Geez, it's the week for selective quoting -- the very next sentence explains
that the run macro exists now in Snd, and the difference in compute time
is more like a factor of 4 -- even that strikes me as high -- I'll have to
re-run some of my timing tests to see how close it is.  I'll rewrite that
paragraph.  I think Snd is easier to use than the CL versions of clm.
I don't have an extended tutorial for clm -- one is badly needed.
There are lots of example instruments and note lists, and sndscm.html
has individual discussions of each of the clm instruments in Snd (clm-ins
for example).
