StochGran is an interface to "sgran", a Cmix stochastic granular
synthesis instrument for music composition.
It was developed under NeXTstep Release 2.1, and has been used
in the computer music class at Columbia University.
To run StochGran, "sgran" and cmix commands "sfcreate",
"rescale" and "play" must be installed or linked into the directory
you will designate in the interface as the cmix directory. Cmix is available
from princeton.edu. If you don't want to install Cmix you can use the rescale
included here, and link "sndplay" to "play". Check the man page for sgran
if needed to find out how to set parameters.
When you have set the parameters on the main StochGran window, write out
functions and then write score with the menu items. Then run the job.
When you see in the output window it has finished
(it says how many grains were written), you can rescale the float sound file.
After it says "done", the sound file can be played.
