Readers outside the UK will be receiving this from the new US redistributor,
Peter Marvit <marvit@hplpm.hpl.hp.com>. The Archive isn't available yet
but will be shortly - watch this space.
I am sure our readers join me in wishing Peter a very warm welcome and thank
him for volunteering; and in wishing his predecessor, Brad Rubenstein, all
the best in his new life in France.
For those wishing to stay in touch with Brad, his address is now

I would like to add to the list of schools offering degrees and/or
extensive training in computer music the School of Music at the
University of Washington. We have an undergraduate major in
Music Technology and have an extensive series of courses in
Computer Music at the graduate level (a 3 course series in
software synthesis, a 3 course series in more advanced DSP, pychoacoustics,
and more!). For more information see the latest issue of the CMA
newsletter ARRAY.

There is a paper titled "Fiber Optic Link for Digital Audio
Interface" by Shigeyuki Sakura, et al., from the Solid State Device
Engineering First Dept., Toshiba Corporation, Kawasaki, Japan. It is
in the August 1988 IEEE Transactions on Consumer Electronics, Vol 34, No. 3,
p. 667-670. This paper might provide answers to some of your questions.

The FORMULA system was described in a Transactions on Computer Systems
"recent" issue (within the last year). The music issues were very
interesting. It was, however, one of the most original Operating Systems
papers I've read in recent memory. It unifies a lot of things
under a common conceptual umbrella. IMHO, genuinely stunning work.

I'm extremely interested in chatting with anybody who has some experience
using Kirk Austin's public domain MIDI libraries for Think Pascal.
Please drop me a line (via email) if you've used these libraries!

Subject: Music Notation
Hi Brad,
I am trying to find a primitive music notation package that runs under
X. Actually I was hoping to find some X widgets that could be integrated into
an X program to display standard notation. I have a project where it sure would
be nice to get a view in notation. I thought you might have seen something.
I have looked at A-R Editions notation under NeWS. It is great typographically
but not good for stuff where the musical content is in flux.
Are you going to the ICMC in Scotland? If so, I hope to see you there and chat.
Many thanks for the help
Robert

I'm working on a survey of computer music systems. I'm especially
interested in a) those that have been parallelized or are good
candidates for parallelization; b) those having real-time capabilities;
and c) those that are interesting in some way from an operating system
point of view (e.g. FORMULA, which incorporates some interesting
concepts in process scheduling).
Any references would be greatly appreciated; I'll summarize and post
the results.
Thanks in advance,
David Rosenbaum

I'm very much interested in your results. I've attempted to find a
single system that would handle the Csound library, including phase-
vocodor, fm, and sample editing (or resynthesis, etc.) such that I
could manipulate everything for live performance. Since it seems
that your request might dig such possibilities out of the woodwork,
or that you may find someone who has something cooking in that direction,
I am anxious to hear of the results you receive.
NeXT has many of the possibilities, with a DSP built in, and an after-
market digitizer that gets to the 16-bit input. But, its tools to
handle other aspects of such a system as I want are not yet available.
A lot of other systems on the market are becoming available to
digitally record several tracks, and manipulate that data for
purposes of sync with SMPTE, etc. Several of these are designed
around the IBM/PC 286 or 386 architecture. They've been advertised
in Computer Music Journal also.
I believe Atari ST's use the ADAP I and II systems from Hybrid Arts
for much the same purposes. I have heard only rumors that someone
may do other software for that system.
Then there's the DigiDesign system for the Mac II. I know about it
only what I read in magazines. It was't demonstrated at MacWorld
in San Francisco, meaning they thought it unlikely that a potential
customer would attend that show. I don't know where I could see a
demonstration aside from arriving at their door in Menlo Park and
demanding a personal view.
Let me know if you find anything exciting.

Can anyone out there detail any experience they may have had with Coda's
MusicProse? I am just looking for a Macintosh based sheet music editor.
The one that comes with Finale would be ideal, but that package is $558.
I would not use any of the MIDI functions at all, so this is out of the
question. Does MusicProse bear any family resemblance to Finale?
Pointers to published reviews are also solicited. If I get much response,
I will summarize to the net. Thanks!

I have seen a paper on a very impressive (blows MuTex out of the water) music
typesetting programming called "music", which is apparently a troff
preprocessor. The article was by Eric Foxley, with a listed E-mail address
of <ef@cs.nott.ac.uk>, but no one here has been able to reach him at this
address.
Does anyone know where I can reach Eric, or know how I can go about getting a
copy of "music"? Email responses appreciated; I'll post when I find a path
to "music".
