Re: [music-dsp] Modular Synthesis Language Moselle... Alpha Release Today.
I am interested to look at this, primarily as another possible resource for schools teaching sound and music computing (especially when fully multi-platform), but disappointed that I have to subscribe to something simply in order to download it, when it is not even clear what I would become a member of. I may just be suffering from subscription fatigue, but this seems unnecessary, and in my case entirely off-puttting. Can't it just be made available as a simple download for those interested in early testing? I would not want to recommend it to teachers if they all had to subscribe to something first; they probably have even more subscription fatigue than I do. They would for example need to be able to install it on a school network without requiring each student to subscribe to what is presumably an un-moderated forum not expressly designed for youngsters.

Re: [music-dsp] Modular Synthesis Language Moselle... Alpha Release Today.
URL? And, question du jour: would it port to the Raspberry Pi? Richard Dobson Hi Richard, Classic mistake: omitting the URL. http://moselle.invisionzone.com/index.php?/files/file/2-moselle-alpha-release/ The language engine and module library are 100% portable. The portion that outputs to sound card is Windows-specific but I'm actually a Unix guy so should have no trouble porting to Unix. Since you're asking about Raspberry I think you're talking embedded performance only application as opposed to the development environment, but more generally the development environment could easily be recreated on Unix except perhaps the editor's automated syntax highlighting. Also, a Unix version would probably be better-served by an Emacs major mode, than a relatively low-power text widget. -- dupswapdrop -- the music-dsp mailing list and website: subscription info, FAQ, source code archive, list archive, book reviews, dsp links http://music.columbia.edu/cmc/music-dsp http://music.columbia.edu/mailman/listinfo/music-dsp

Hi Richard, Thx again for your interest. Moselle isn't free software. The cost isn't monetary but rather that a feedback on the forum on the forum is requested. I tried setting up the QA forum so it didn't require an account, and had 2000+ spams within 3 days. So, I spent a day's development time cleaning the forum instead. The membership is just in the QA forum, and additionally defaults you to receiving emails about future releases unless you un-check a box. If you don't want to be a member, by all means sign up, download, and delete your account afterwards. If you want to warn away people that software you haven't seen is probably nonetheless not worth 30 seconds of their time to make a forum account and give a feedback, I can't stop you. But why not take a look at the software first? If you find its indeed not worth the 30 seconds, you can put a comment to that effect right on the forum, and warn away not only teachers you know personally, but anyone else looking at the software. It may be that crappy. I don't know. I don't have any feedback yet! Yes, I could see a school teaching modular synthesis with Moselle. I have to recuse myself from discussing whether it'd be better for that purpose than Csound or Max/MSP or what have you, but I hope that some opinions on the matter are shared on the forum soon. -- dupswapdrop -- the music-dsp mailing list and website: subscription info, FAQ, source code archive, list archive, book reviews, dsp links http://music.columbia.edu/cmc/music-dsp http://music.columbia.edu/mailman/listinfo/music-dsp
