Thanks!</p> <p>After a few obstacles needed to be solved, this is also the first<br /> version supporting windows (tested on Windows XP).</p> <p>Enjoy!</p> <h1>From the <span class="caps">README</span></h1> <p>I recommend downloading the pre-compiled version for <span class="caps">OSX</span>:<br /> <a href="http://sprotte.org/downloads/ksquant2-osx-0-1-10-tgz.html">http://sprotte.org/downloads/ksquant2-osx-0-1-10-tgz.html</a></p> <p>or for windows:<br /> <a href="http://sprotte.org/downloads/ksquant2-win-0-1-10-zip.html">http://sprotte.org/downloads/ksquant2-win-0-1-10-zip.html</a></p> <p>Then it can be installed as a normal <span class="caps">PWGL</span> user-library in<br /> $<span class="caps">HOME</span>/<span class="caps">PWGL</span>-User/User-library or the corresponding place on<br /> windows. Please make sure that after downloading and extracting the<br /> archive the folder is named &#8220;ksquant2&#8221;.</p> <p>Bugs can be browsed and reported here:<br /> <a href="https://bugs.launchpad.net/ksquant2">https://bugs.launchpad.net/ksquant2</a></p> <ul> <li>changes in 0.1.10 relative to 0.1.9: <ul> <li>bugfix: for voices containing only a rest</li> <li>new feature: support for windows</li> </ul></li> </ul> <ul> <li>changes in 0.1.9 relative to 0.1.8: <ul> <li>bugfix: the correct way to indicate a rest is e.g. (6.875 :<span class="caps">REST</span> T)<br /> the keyword is :<span class="caps">REST</span>, not :<span class="caps">RESTP</span></li> <li>bugfix: It was not possible to start with a rest, i.e. (0.0 :<span class="caps">REST</span> T)<br /> did not work correctly</li> </ul></li> </ul> 2010-08-15T00:00:00+02:00 http://sprotte.org/2010/08/15/introducing-ksquant2 <p>KSQuant2 has been released. Its goal is to provide a more stable quantization kernel, which has been completely rewritten in <a href="http://www.haskell.org/">Haskell</a>. Despite this, it still comes as a standard <a href="http://siba.fi/PWGL"><span class="caps">PWGL</span></a> user library &#8212; just be sure to download a <a href="http://github.com/kisp/ksquant2#readme">pre-compiled version for your platform</a>.</p> <p>The good news is that its input format, the <cite>simple</cite> format has not changed. A very similar box <cite>simple2score</cite> is provided that you can use as a drop-in replacement for the old. Here it is in its completely expanded form, showing all the default input values:</p> <p><img src="/images/2010-08-15/simple2score.png" title="[IMAGE simple2score box]" alt="[IMAGE simple2score box]" /></p> <p>The bad news is that finally the <cite>time-signatures</cite> and <cite>metronomes</cite> inputs do what they should &#8212; treating the input as specified in seconds and not in beats and so the behavior of the box is not quite the same, but hopefully for the best&#8230;</p> <p>The meaning of the following <cite>simple</cite> format is now a repeated attack every half a second:</p> <p></notextile></p> <p>Which can be shaped with time signatures <code>(4 4) (4 4) (4 4) (3 4) ...</code> and metronomes <code>(4 60) (4 120) (4 60) ...</code> (repeating as long as needed, while sticking to the last).</p> <p><img src="/images/2010-08-15/simple2score-2.png" title="[IMAGE simple2score box variation]" alt="[IMAGE simple2score box variation]" /></p> <p>Into the following score notation:</p> <p><img src="/images/2010-08-15/score.png" title="[IMAGE score notation]" alt="[IMAGE score notation]" /></p> <p>What you hear is what you get! Have fun.</p>
