The third beta release of OpenSoundWorld (OSW) version 1.1 is now available for download in the downloads/files section of this site. This new version contains new features and many bug fixes:
1) Enhanced OpenSound Control support including fixes to the variable get/set system, and an auto-sensing mechanism for discovery of multiple OSW servers on a network and control via Andrew Schmeder's command-line interface client osw-cli, available from http://www.a2hd.com/research/.
2) New documentation for OpenSound Control, including basic features, remote-interface commands and revised help and tutorial patches.
3) New transforms, including:
LinesEditor - breakpoint function editor
Slammer - non-real-time clock source for off-line processing
ResPing - excitation of individual filters in a resonance model
LoadPatch - Dynamically load/unload patches in response to events
Drunk - ever popular drunk-walk sequence
4) Improvements to Expr, including support for list generation and manipulation
5) Bug fixes and usability fixes
a) The hated Windows DirectSound click is gone!
b) Improvements to quality of Phasor
c) Improved appearance of several graphical transforms
d) New dock appearance
e) New startup pane for first-time users
Note that this release covers Windows and Linux binaries as well as source code. New Mac and SGI versions should be released shortly.
