[Bluemusic-users] Prototype

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

Hi All,

I've posted a prototype of the zak instruments system I've been
working on at:

http://www.kunstmusik.com/blueCommon.zip


Just a start really, but beginning to flesh out.  I think
it's going to take some time with paper and pencil for me to work out
all the routing possibilities and some research of some mixing
consoles and other composition environments to see what the consensus
solution is.  Tricky part I think is csound's processing of
instruments by instrument number, so may have to auto generate a
number of instruments to recapture values for further mixing after
sending out from the individual lines.

Anyways, the attached file has a couple copies of Michael Bechard's FM
instrument, sending out to different sets of zak channels.  It's also
got a template instrument sine wave generator.  Of those, they are
hooked up to the zak mixer, then channels 1 & 2 go through an echo and
reverb.  The zak values are all collected in the end and mixed
together.

There's issues here witih how to go about a global reverb and other
effects processing.

Any critique and suggestions would be greatly appreciated as I would
like to formalize a sort of "type 1" system of instrument designs that
could easily work together like this, such that it could be easier to
trade and just snap in instruments into projects quicker.

Thanks!
