[Bluemusic-users] [announce] blue 0.98.0

[Steven Yi <ste...@gm...>]

Hi All,

I've put up a new release of blue; I normally cite the csounds.com
page but csounds.com is down at the moment, so it is available from
here:

http://sourceforge.net/projects/bluemusic

This version has a new loop rendering mode that will keep on
rerendering a CSD file from blue and calling csound with it if loop is
enabled (a render stop time has been added as well, set by using right
mouse button instead of left in time bar).

Big thanks to Michael Bechard, Francisco Vila, and Chuckk Hubbard for
their replies on the blue list regarding this feature, as well as
members on the csound list for their help on finding a way to stop
rendering!

>Notes for 0.98.0<
[released 2005.05.16]

blue

    [new] - Loop Render and Render Stop Time - using right mouse button ins=
tead
            of left in setting the time on a root polyobject will set a yel=
low
            line for when to stop rendering (green line is render start tim=
e);
            setting to loop mode before rendering will re-render the projec=
t
            immediately after a render stops.  This allows one to render in=
 a
            loop and while listening, make a small change, and hear the cha=
nge
            in the next loop (file is always recompiled to CSD between rend=
ers)

    [new] - Rewind button - sets renderStartTime to 0.0 and clears renderEn=
dTime

    [update] - when generating CSD to file (ctrl-g), use same renderStartTi=
me
            and renderEndTime as is currently set in the project

internal

    [new] - Only call generateNotes, generateFTables, generateInstruments, =
and
            generateGlobals for SoundObjects which could possibly contribut=
e
            notes to the final CSD (if soundObject's startTime < renderEndT=
ime
            && soundObject's endTime > renderStartTime); speeds up renders =
of
            project when using renderStartTime and renderEndTime by not
            calling those methods unnecessarily
