[Bluemusic-users] [announce] blue 0.94.0 beta3

[stevenyi <ste...@cs...>]

Hi all,

I've put up a new release in the blue 0.94.0 beta series at:

http://www.csounds.com/stevenyi/blue

This beta release has a few fixes but most of the efforts have been on
implementation of the CeciliaModule.  This is the first version of blue
where the CeciliaModule is enabled by default.  I have converted the
CeciliaModules for use with blue which were easily able to be done. 
Some were not possible as they were programmed to depend on their
instrument number (p1) which blue is dynamically reassigning.  I have
included the Cecilia Modules in the lib directory of the blue
installation.  When using the CeciliaModule, using "load module" will
start in the lib directory to make it easier to navigate to the
CeciliaModule's that have been prepared for blue. 

The following modules were one's I had issues with:

Analysis
		-SpectralFilter
			ftable doesn't seem to be used, where does ftable 18 in orc come
from?
			
		-UltraVocoder
			depends on p1
			
	Synthesis
		-StochasticGrains
		-StochasticGrains2
			depends on p1
			ftable doesn't seem to be used, where does ftable 27 in orc come
from?
			
	Time
		-Stretcher 
		-Stretcher2
			depends on p1
			
		-Quad Delays
			depends on function tables created from CGraph coming in a certain
order
	
		-Warper2 
			-CPopup
				index value maps to ftable

I will probably redo these slowly as time goes on so if there's any one
of these you have a desire for please let me know and I'll try to get to
them first.  The other modules that come with Cecilia that aren't listed
here should work (except Cybil modules); I've tested a number of them
and they seem to function as they would in Cecilia.

There's a few things left, the two biggest being x-axis and y-axis
labels on the graph as well as showing what the value is when dragging
points, the other being Cybil.  (No one has spent time to answer my
Cybil question on the csound list, sigh...).  There's also a tremendous
slow down when bringing up the editor for certain Cecilia modules which
seems to be a bug with Java's JSlider implementation which I hope I can
find a work around for.

For those who have been wanting to give this a try, please do and give
me any feedback.  

Thanks!
steven

    [new] - first time CeciliaModule enabled; mostly functional, use
modules
            from lib/ceciliaModule (should start there when doing load
module),
            still pieces left to implement!

    [fix] - polyObject needed to respect muting and soloing for
generateTables,
            generateInstruments, and generateGlobals
	
    [fix] - if currentSoundObject is being edited, don't refocus in 
	        SoundObjectEditPanel; increased speed when moving/resizing 
	        soundObjects on timeline that take a long time to bring up
	        editor for
	
    [fix] - Arrangement would always append a number when adding an
instrument
            with name as id; should only do if id is already in
arrangement
