About a year ago I was told by someone at the University of Washington (I have since lost the message) that a package of music software, written in C, was available for free to anyone with a UNIX license. As I remember, the package was called "C Music". Well, I am about to install UNIX on a Data General machine so I guess I now qualify to receive the software. Does anyone know about this software package and how I can get a copy? I think I remember that it originates at a major California university - UCLA, Berkely, or something like that. thanks in advance, Rick Fairfield Boeing Aerospace Co. 206-773-1004 ...ssc-vax!zadco

hi- cmusic is an integrated software synthesis environment written largely by F. Richard Moore, Gareth Loy, and Mark Dolson at UCSD, LaJolla. The last I heard, it was available for $100 or so from CARL (the Computer Audio Research Lab), and what you get is source for a VAX 780 running Berkeley 4.2BSD, plus a fair amount of documentation. I don't have the CARL USnail address on hand, but you could find out more by contacting Dick Moore over uucp at ...!ucbvax!sdcarl!frm . We have the package up and running on a Pyramid 90x at Northwestern Computer Music...we don't use the mainstream package much, mostly the utilities and some of the conventions...there are some really nice software signal processing programs, most notably "pvoc", a phase vocoder. Cmusic interfaces to Csound, a UNIX sound file system, which has some real problems... it works ok, as long as not very many people make use of it. But it will do fine to start with. -cg hail eris all hail discordia
