orca

Copperbox revision 2973.

Work to get orchestra definitions to print properly when compiled. Note compilation is a misnomer for Orca as there are no optimization passes - the original syntax tree is simply pretty printed as Csound.

Ochre had genuine optimization passes to remove redundant variables and declarations but the utility of these transformations didn't match the complexity cost of their implementation.

Copperbox revision 2972.

I've now moved enough code from Ochre to define an example FM instrument.

Copperbox revision 2971.

I've added the signal cast operations from Ochre. Although casting is somewhat untypical (ahem) in Haskell, the casting operators were one of the better features of the monadic language in Ochre. Without them the code was simply too verbose.

Copperbox revision 2970.

More work porting code from Ochre. Plus I've added cabal files so I can build the Haddock docs - Haddock is the best way I've found for project browsing in Haskell.

orca

Copperbox revision 2969.

I've ported more code into Orca from Ochre. The outstanding code to be moved is mostly the monadic code building operations, which might need some tidying up.

Copperbox revision 2968.

I've added a couple of libraries of opcodes from Ochre, happily these can be imported with just a few direct changes and an instance of "replace all".

Copperbox revision 2967.

I've forked Ochre as a new project Orca.

Orca removes the A Normal Form compiler to directly build instrument language definitions in the monadic embedding.
