To: music-research@prg
Message-ID: <1935@murdu.oz>
Music4C is a sound synthesis/signal processing program written in C for
the Macintosh (It is based on the Music4BF model).
It provides an environment in which you write C programs to generate and
massage sound files. It includes:
- full source code written in THINK C version 4
- a library of oscillators, filters, envelope shapers, delays, reverb etc.
- reads and writes floating point sound files, Digidesign's Sound
Designer (I&II) and AIFF file formats
- contains installation instructions, manual and examples.
- runs on Mac II, IIci, IIfx (and probably other II machines) and
SE30 (requires FPU).
Music4C.sit.hqx.Z is available via anonymous ftp from munnari.oz.au in
/mac or /multigate and by ACSnet fetchfile from /multigate.

Does anyone know of a computer-music system which supplies a
hierarchical dynamics tool? In particular, I wonder whether anyone has
tried adapting the stress hierarchies proposed by linguists for speech
rhythm. Any references and pointers will be welcome. Thanks,
Vance

X3V1.8M MUSIC IN INFORMATION PROCESSING STANDARDS (MIPS) COMMITTEE
operating under the rules and procedures of the
American National Standards Institute
X3V1.8M Secretariat:
c/o Larry Austin, President
The Computer Music Association
P. O. Box 1634

MEETING NOTICE and DRAFT AGENDA - FOURTEENTH MEETING
MEETING NOTICE:

Tuesday, November 13, 1990, 9:30 AM - 5:30 PM.
Wednesday, November 14, 1990, 9:30 AM - 5:30 PM

Friday, November 16, 1990, 9:30 AM - 1:00 PM.
Meeting Host:
International Business Machines Corporation
Meeting Location:
IBM Almaden Research Center
650 Harry Road
San Jose, California 95120
(408) 927 2577
WRITTEN CONTRIBUTIONS
The usual mailing of papers contributed since the last
mailing, together with the most recent revision of
X3V1.8M/SD-7, the Journal of Development for the HyTime
Hypermedia/Time-based Document Representation Language
(seventh draft dated September 5, 1990), will be mailed
to participants of record shortly. This new version of
SD-7 reflects the work done at the thirteenth meeting
(and at the adjournment thereof) on hyperlinks, docu-
ment locations, etc. Any additional contributed papers
should be sent in camera-ready form, as usual, to
Vice-chairman Steven R. Newcomb, Center for Music
Research, School of Music, Florida State University,
Tallahassee, FL 32306-2098 USA. Because of popular and
industrial demand, and in keeping with the consensus of
the participants, consideration of some papers having
solely to do with music issues is being deferred until
HyTime has been stabilized as a draft proposed stan-
dard; that should happen pretty soon now. However,
contributions regarding the development of the Standard
Music Description Language are always welcome, they
continue to be solicited, and they will receive due
consideration.
LODGING
The committee has met several times now at the Almaden
Research Center. A popular place to stay is the Camp-
bell Inn, 675 E. Campbell Avenue, Campbell, CA. The
accomodations are unremarkable but quite comfortable.
There is a special IBM rate of $80/night, which
includes a fairly sumptuous breakfast. Reservations
should be made as early as possible. The direct phone
number is (408) 374 4300; the toll free reservation
number is (800) 582 4300.
TRAVEL
It is possible to travel directly to San Jose by air,
and it is generally less expensive to go to San Fran-
cisco and drive to San Jose, particularly if you are
renting a car anyway. There is really no way to get to
the Almaden Research Center except by automobile. If
there are empty seats in the car(s) of other partici-
pants who are staying at the Campbell Inn, you may be
able to get a limo to the Campbell Inn from the San
Jose airport, and ride daily to ARC in someone else's
car.
NOTE: It's best to arrive early in order to have time
for the obligatory security check before entering the
Almaden Research Center.
NOTES TO NEW PARTICIPANTS/OBSERVERS:
1. Prospective members and observers are welcome at
any time to participate in the current technical
work of the committee. (You can be most effective
in conveying your viewpoint if you can present it
in the context of the current work -- in other
words, please be familiar with X3V1.8M/SD-6, SD-7
and SD-8. If you don't have these, they can be
obtained for a nominal charge from the X3V1.8M
Secretariat.) New participants are also urged to
obtain and read ISO 8879 (Standard Generalized
Markup Language). ISO 8879 is obtainable from the
Graphic Communications Association, 1730 North
Lynn Street, Suite 604, Arlington, Virginia
22209-2085, for $67.50 (156 pp.). You should also
obtain International Standard ISO 8879:1986/Amend-
ment 1 from the same organization.
2. As usual, a portion of the second day's meeting
(Wednesday) has been set aside for persons who
wish to address the committee on topics of their
own choosing, relating to the subject matter or
methodology of the committee's work. Mr. Dave
Gunning of the U. S. Air Force's Human Resources
Laboratory at Wright-Patterson AFB will be
presenting the Content Data Model his organization
has developed.
3. New participants are asked (but not required) to
inform Charles Goldfarb (c/o Sue Orlando, IBM
Almaden Research Center, 408/927-2578) or Steve
Newcomb (Florida State University Center for Music
Research, Tallahassee, FL 32306-2098, 904/644-
5786) if they plan to attend. If you are not
expected, you may be delayed at one or more of the
security checkpoints before entering the Center.
DRAFT AGENDA:
Monday
Administrative matters, including: opening, appro-
val of agenda, introduction of new participants,

ISO/IEC JTC1/SC2/WG12 (MHEG) Coded Representation
