After a really long break, I've finally gotten around to putting up a new post at the Csound Blog. Here's an excerpt:

"Most people would never think of a touch-tone phone as being an additive synthesizer. Though it may be primitive, a phone does generate tones using two sine wave oscillators, which in my humble opinion, qualifies it as such.

However, I'm not here to debate the semantics of whether or not a phone is a synthesizer. Instead, I'm here to demonstrate how easy it is to emulate the sounds of the touch-tone phone."

Since friday, I've been experimenting with integrating Slipmat with Processing. Here's a proof-of-concept video showing Slipmat + Processing in action. Yes, I'm aware it looks like a screen saver. :) I'm also planning on including a Processing example with the next Slipmat release.

The jEdit Syntax Highlighter Mode for Csound 5.08 is now available. You can pick it up here:

Today's blog is on SineBox: a "music box" like instrument that plays itself. Once a user starts SineBox with a single i-event in the score, SineBox creates instances of itself, generating multiple sine tones over time. This may not be the most musical piece of Csound technology ever conceived of. It can, however, be molded to fit a wide range of uses, musical and otherwise.

I have to say, having the ability to blog at cSounds.com is both exciting and weird. And even better, it gives me a place where I can do additional shameless self promotion. :) So without further ado...

It also just occurred to me that everyone can now have their own Csound blog here at cSounds.com. Which is way cool!
