CLM-2(ID:6818/clm002)

• Manual at Standford Common Lisp Music (CLM, for lack of a catchier name) is a music synthesis and signal processing package in the Music V family. The new version, named CLM-2, represents a large-scale revision of the version that existed from 1990 to 1999. This document describes CLM-2. See translate.cl for information on moving from the previous version to this one. CLM exists in four forms: a Common Lisp implementation with optional C foreign functions, a C version, and Scheme and Ruby versions built on the C version through the Guile, or Ruby libraries. There are a variety of unavoidable differences between these versions, but in general, the differences are obvious and consistent (Lisp "-" becomes C "_", "?" becomes "_p", "->" becomes "2", etc). The Common Lisp and Scheme versions try to be completely compatible, and this document concentrates on former. (To compare the three versions, see v.ins, the fm-violin in examp.scm, and the same code in sndlib.html).
  
  
  CLM has several sections: the "generators", instruments (definstrument and *.ins), examples of note lists (with-sound, *.clm), a "make" facility for sound files (with-mix), various functions that are useful in sound file work (sound-let, mix), and a connection to the Snd sound editor. CLM runs on the Macintosh (MacOS or LinuxPPC), SGI, Sun, Alpha, Windoze, and any machine running Linux. It is available free, via anonymous ftp (pub/Lisp/clm-2.tar.gz at ccrma-ftp.stanford.edu; the Snd editor is snd-7.tar.gz).
