Dear all, sorry, I was out for concerts in Salzburg (as a matter of fact I'm still on the return train).

The problem is that they had an attack and had to shut down the machine and change to a more secure version and now the symbolic links in the ftp directory do not work any longer. I'll try to get this solved as fast as I can (yesterday I talked to the DIST director - DIST in Genova runs the server). The CVS repository however runs on a completely different server in Rome and (though it happens to be down sometimes :() it actually is much more workable. Also, I'm currently not posting new distributions but working on the CVS alone because I want to find the time to make the --enable-float-as=DOUBLE work on my distribution (I'm interested in it). It is really badly broken (I wonder who else is trying to use it..) and so no luck until now. But I am keeping the versions up to date, except for 3.57 (which is about to run on my machine right now) because working with CVS on a 9600 cell phone from Salzburg is not exactely what you call *free* software :))). But 3.57.0.0a is likely to be in the CVS repository by tonight. BTW, I don't mind at all any help in maintaining the unofficial distribution so that it can be snappier in appearing right after the official one is out, correcting bugs (believe me I have quite a list) etc.. I will accept any offer that has the same goals that I have (or better): I don't want to dictate things but I want to avoid having to part once again and do my distribution just because I can't find a decent one around :) [snip] Yesterday, Dave Phillips mi scrisse cio` che segue: > I have placed a Linux Csound 3.56.0.0a package on the MusTec server at > BGSU here in the USA.

Well, I might be wrong (can't check now) but I would not be surprised of pops since your orc opens and closes signal too abruptly. Try putting a low pass filter (port, for example, or some form of line) after your ampmidi and see if the crackling goes away. ciao a tutti, Nicola P.S. I don't write to the csound list any longer (I've been thrown out from the list too many times by now); writing questions concerning the unofficial csound distribution to the csound-unix-dev list will more likely get responses from highly esteemed contributors (and less noise on the sidebands :)
