Mac installation / Re: MIDI input issues
« on: September 02, 2024, 06:23:05 PM »
Hi iamcyanblue,
I get the same.
Its Soundloom on the Mac that is the problem.
TCL & TK being prety much deprecated on later Mac o/s versions
There is a new Mac GUI in the pipeline but we cannot, at this time, give a release date.
I am sorry, but until that happy day you'll have to put up with SL as it is, not pretty. (at all)

Hi Harmonion,
Welcome to the CDP world.
If you look at the CDP homepage you will see 'Learn' in one of the dropdown menus
https://composersdesktop.com/index.html
You might try the Workshops:
https://composersdesktop.com/workshops.html#LM
or this page, which has lots of links :
https://www.composersdesktop.com/docs/html/tutorials.htm
We'd love to hear how you get on.
Have fun!
Simon

I think Archer has used TV quite a bit, I'll ask.

Mac installation / Re: Batch files?
« on: January 03, 2024, 06:32:34 PM »
>I am into work flow, I have to enjoy the process.
I'm absolutely with you there & I agree it takes a certain type of mentality &/or mind set to be at the command line expolring.
Not for every day or to meet a deadline
I did my time before the virtual CMD mast in the ole century when there was no other option to access these fabulous tools. But find myself using it sparingly these days.
If you have a PC take a look at Grainmill if you haven't already. It's a bit old now, but still fun for a granular hit.
Not real time, but these days pretty quick.
>Maybe a separate program could be made that is more of a see what happens app, where it combines processes in a random way under the hood. For fun.
That'd be great.
Unfortunately we (CDP) are drastically short of programming manpower & latest tech on every platform.
And we all have other things to do, so things move quite slowly...mostly.
Anyway,
Happy CDP'ing in 24 !

>Has anyone actually used Tabula Vigilans ? Where’s the music if they did?
There are a few pieces, I'm not the one to quote them here, but maybe you are missing the point.
Because nobody has noticed this unusual & l agree, a somewhat esoteric & difficult thing, is no reason to cast it aside when you are short.
Maybe that's the time to dig in !
Anyway,
You will be pleased to learn that your post has somewhat hastened a number of long-time work/discussions/tutorials on this very subject
Stick around, good things are coming for batch files soon!

Hi,
I'm not sure why you might want V7 as all the old stuff is still there in V8 I believe.
However, do you want the original install for V7 or the V711 update?

PC Installation / Re: CDP update question
« on: August 10, 2023, 05:07:36 PM »
Hi,
Version 8 will install in a new directory, in your case (probably) "C:\cdpr8 "
Meanwhile, I suggest continuing with your current setup.
Soundshaper downloads & update info here -

« on: May 10, 2023, 08:41:41 AM »
Hi Otis,
I'm pretty sure that they are PC only, sadly as Grainmill is fun.
I have an old version if Win7 running on VMware that ~can~ run it, but to go there & fiddle around sucks some of the joy out.
I know I shouldn't really be saying this in the CDP forum, but other granular apps are available, especially given your very tight time constraints.
Meanwhile, there are many granular functions within the CDP system. MODIFY SAUSAGE & MODIFY BRASSAGE might suit you.
Have a look through this :

General Board / Re: Problems with multichannel shred
« on: May 09, 2023, 05:44:33 PM »
Hi Otis,
Try running your new output file through SFPROPS & see what it reports.
Does the file play in any other appication?
I'm assuming your soundcard/device can handle & is configured for muti-channel outputs & you've tested all that.
+
Are you sure that you must use the CDP system for this?
You are in a very complicated area that will suck time hugely just to run through permutations of a single event.
There are quite a number of other sound diffusion apps around these days that you might use given your tight time schedule.

Hi Otis,
Is that a mono file ?
It should be for Mode 1
If you want Mode 2 you probably should look into setting the appropriate multi-channel header for you useage.
Have a look here
http://www.ensemble-software.net/CDPDocs/html/cmcrefmn.htm#CHANNELX
SFPROPS will report details on files & then there are several utilities to setup headers etc.
