Hi LAD-folk,
New sfront (0.72) release time, most interesting
item from a LAD perspective is updated -cin ascii
driver that uses the termios.h API to turn the
ASCII keyboard into a 2-octave pentatonic scale,
for testing real-time functionality without an
attached MIDI keyboard. See change log below ...

Pick up sfront 0.72 7/10/01 at:
http://www.cs.berkeley.edu/~lazzaro/sa/index.html
Change log message:
[1] The -cin ascii control
driver has been rewritten:
it maps the ASCII keyboard
as a two-octave pentatonic
scale, with fixed note length.
Special keys control MIDI
presets and channel volume.
Tested under Linux, should
work on any OS that supports
the termios API.
[2] Sfront now fully tested
under Mac OS X version 10.0.3
(no real-time audio/control
support yet, just file
rendering). Work on Mac OS 9.1
under MPW has yet to resolve
problems related to sample file
and MIDI file reading, and so OS
X is the most viable option for
sfront Mac OS users. Thanks to
Manfred Brockhaus.
[3] Numerous bug fixes: variable
length core opcodes work in
oparrays, the && and || operators
work for vectors, unused exports
signal variables work correctly,
several audio-bus errors fixed, SASL
labelled control statements access
multiple instrs correctly, large
constant integer values correctly
supported. Thanks to Robert Sherry
and Axel Nackaerts.
