Archive-name: music/synth/fugue/1991-05-30 Archive-directory: g.cs.cmu.edu:/usr/rbd/cmt/canon/ [128.2.254.132] Original-posting-by: maverick@palm.Berkeley.EDU (Vance Maverick) Original-subject: Canon and Fugue followup Reposted-by: emv@msen.com (Edward Vielmetti, MSEN) I've gotten so many responses to my posting, asking for what I find, that I'm posting the results to the net. For those who don't know from the literature, Fugue is a computer sound-synthesis system based on the public-domain interpreter Xlisp. Its main contribution is the SOUND data type, which behaves like an array of floats, with many extras. Canon is a scoring system written in Xlisp, to run in Fugue. Both Canon and Fugue are available by anonymous ftp from CMU. Connect to g.cs.cmu.edu; Canon is in /usr/rbd/cmt/canon/*.lsp, and Fugue is in /usr/rbd/cmt/fugue/fugue.tar.Z. Roger Dannenberg, the CMU professor who has supervised this work, asks me to point out that these are "prototypes" and not "releases in the sense that [he thinks] they're ready for geting practical work done." New versions, with documentation, are on the way.
