There is also an AI elephant in this imaginary room and somewhat philosophically challenging.

Is it acceptable for AI bots to run round scraping other artist work without payment ?

I am sorry if my reply seems that way to you. I was offering information about the whereabouts of the Tutorials etc.
Also, I have no particular knowledge of AI & plenty of learning of my own to do.
The best advvice I can offer on soaking up manuals is to 'snack not banquet' when taking in information. Do a bit,do something else, do bit & so on.

As previously mentioned by one or more of the very small CDP team we ~are~ working on new GUI tools.

Hello,
You can find the Tutorials here :
https://composersdesktop.com/workshops.html#LM

They haven't been updated for a while, you might find the 'Learning Manual'
of more interest

-further down the same page

In the 'System state' drop down (Top right) look at 'System settings 1', the twelfth setting down is 'Sample rates' with a right arrow  that gives a further drop down of possible rates, probably best to select 'All rates'

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

Hello,
You may have already found this -

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

>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!

Simon

You could take a look at Tabula Vigilans

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?

Simon

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 -

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 :
