good news and bad news john!
from the bad one:
> it will be curious to see if
> you can get all of the examples working, I'm a bit
> worried that the ones that use big WAV files (like
> the perc and scr1 examples) will use up all of the
> RAM on the machine and crash it ...
did
sfront -orc scr1.saol -sco scr1.sasl -ain samp_1.aif
and it spit out "sa.c"
so built an app. from that..
simply duouble-clickin it YES brought a .... crash
my iMac's RAM is 160MB
so gave 50MB to "sa" app and an another run
resulted into a .wav which goes about 45MB
played it with "QuickTime player" and it made no sound
opened it with "Sound Sculptor II"(=sound file editor)
and only the horizontal line (=no event occuring) could be found
to make sure
peeked in the "samp_1.aif" with the same app
and there was a piano sample
when giving 50MB to "sa" app
it requested somewhere about 350MB ...
i myself am not plannin to use sample-sound-file to do the SAOL
(wanna be strictly saol+sasl-oriented)
but if the result of the output file become bigger
the more this type of crash may occur?
and the good news:
> Great -- I didn't realize it was going to be so hard
> to get MPW working ...
but when giving the full path for the
sfront (tool-)command was easy
since it was just
drag'n'droppin the sfront file into to MPW-shell window
this was something people told me
that the "Terminal" of the OSX would accept
mmm..so it was a bit pre-OSX experience
maybe i can find a way to do the
"saol+sasl" > "sa.c" > "sa"-app > soundfile
process in a somewhat macro oriented way
thanx
