Dear Anthony, I looked at the code of this orchestra file which you documented with so much care! Tomorrow I will try it for good and reorganize the location of Csound "resources" as suggested in my previous message. Yes, the "fade-out" time can be used very easily to modify the "s" or "e" statement. I'll do it also tomorrow. I believe it is better to modify "e" because in the Improvize mode (creating a score of 10 items) we string together all items and should not break the tempo. I'll try -gr.Mozart with a plucked-string instrument which should sound way better than crude sinewaves… Bernard Anthony Kozar wrote on 11/11/2020 17:18: > Hello everyone, > > I'm attaching an early version of a new default orchestra.
