Update 11-19 to SDL version
by Jonathan Osuch 19 Nov '17

19 Nov '17

Folks, Image browser now draws boxes, but crashes after one use when <ESC> is used to exit browsing. Fixed Windows version to correctly read and generate GIFs. GIFs created with it prior to this version (11/19) need to be tossed. If you want to keep the image, use the 11/12 version to create a PAR using <b> and then regenerate the image with the 11/19 version. GIFs created with Linux version are not affected. Windows version (32-bit) is: https://fractint.net/ftp/experimental/SDL2-fractint-20.05alpha-2017-11- 19.zip Pre-compiled 64-bit Linux version is: http://www.fractint.net/ftp/experimental/SDL2-Xfractint-20.05alpha-2017 -11-19.tar.gz or look in the directory: https://fractint.net/ftp/experimental/ Jonathan

Phase Shifting
by Albrecht Niekamp 18 Nov '17

18 Nov '17

Used phase shifting in order to get a pseudo room effect in the previous posts. Now imitating the additional phase shifting as used by my marantz full logic SQ decoder. This means the phases of the requested rear speakers are doubled in order to get a reversed phasing of the sinwave. For me it works, which means all instruments with doubled phasing sound from the rear -left/right switched crosswise. The acoustical middle actually is positioned in the middle of the room and all four sides Front/rear/left/right have a middle position between the respective speakers. I use 4 identical 3way active speakers Most digital decoders use this effect too. Please tell me about your system, what does it sound like ? This effectt is available from midi and means that the listener is placed between the speakers. The file for testing is TaikoTrance 061117CQ.mid ; https://1drv.ms/f/s!AmWYApv7ZBFG5UoPDZkDk7NLcqXr ; Albrecht

Thank you, Alex for your nice words. The folder now also contains the WAV version. Use it to burn a high quality Audio CD. Albrecht

I believe that changing to passes=1 will fix this. I have seen it before (initially with Xfractint years ago) and have a couple of example PARs that reproduce it. It has to do with the solid guessing routines and I would guess it is caused by the change from 16-bit integers to 32-bit (or 64-bit in this case) integers. Eventually, I'll look into it. The solid guessing routines seem like magic to me. Jonathan

Folks, Increased filename length to 64 characters. Removed upper/lower case restrictions on filenames and extensions. Restoring images should now work. Resizing images by grabbing the edge/corner of the window is still problematic. Windows version (32-bit) is: https://fractint.net/ftp/experimental/SDL2-fractint-20.05alpha-2017-11- 12.zip Pre-compiled 64-bit Linux version is: http://www.fractint.net/ftp/experimental/SDL2-Xfractint-20.05alpha-2017 -11-12.tar.gz or look in the directory: https://fractint.net/ftp/experimental/ Jonathan

Albrecht has an all-new fractal music composition, TaikoTrance.
by Harold Lane 11 Nov '17

Albrecht has an all-new fractal music composition, TaikoTrance. Links are below. Albrecht says: "I tried to create the sound (or what I think it is) of a Japanese TaikoShow. The scale is Hirajoshi, the instruments Taiko only, playing in groups from 1 to 3, and the rhythm - never heard before - judge [for] yourself..... The image and the IFS (Sierpinski) the same again. The image & its IFS used for TaikoTrance: 2017-11-05_SIERPIN.jpg http://tinyurl.com/SIERPIN-jpg or: www.emarketingiseasy.com/Albrecht/Music/2017-11-05_SIERPIN.jpg SIERPIN.IFS { 0.500 0.000 0.000 0.500 0.000 1.960 0.336 -0.250 0.430 -0.430 -0.250 1.820 -0.680 0.332 -0.250 -0.430 0.430 -0.250 -1.420 -0.880 0.332 } The fractal MIDI music file, TaikoTrance: 2017-11-07-TaikoTranceV2.MID http://tinyurl.com/TaikoTrance-V2-MID or: www.emarketingiseasy.com/Albrecht/Music/2017-11-07-TaikoTranceV2.MID Hal says: Taiko is Japanese for drum... "The Hirajoshi scale is a spacious Pentatonic (five-note) scale that evokes images of Japan." Here's a link to a screencap of TaikoShow drumming: http://tinyurl.com/Screencap-of-Taiko-Drums or: www.emarketingiseasy.com/Albrecht/Music/2017-11-07-Screencap-of-Taiko-Drums. jpg The screencap was taken from this TaikoShow video: http://tinyurl.com/TaikoShow-video or: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oeLgSZssMJM&feature=youtu.be Albrecht's piece has an energetic start, and the shifting rhythms provide occasional syncopation and anticipation of the beat which I find very pleasurable. As the piece progresses it appears more "laid back." The tones of the drums are very pleasing to me -- compared to the simple thumping of a bass drum. - Hal Lane ######################## # hallane(a)earthlink.net ######################## --- This email has been checked for viruses by Avast antivirus software. https://www.avast.com/antivirus

early fractint?
by Bill Jemison 10 Nov '17

Does anyone know where can I access earlier versions of fractint? I am particularly interested in pre-ver20.0, including incremental releases. Thanks! Bill Jemison Audio Fractals <https://sites.google.com/site/audiofractals/home>

Lee Skinner par file
by Edward Montague 09 Nov '17

09 Nov '17

I've downloaded the file LHS_MF01.PAR . After renaming it to LHS_MF01.par and using @ then F6 , within xfractint , I'm able to load the file and generate the image ; as seen at his website. I see the parameters , however the formula isn't obvious , there's reference made to fractint.frm , however I don't find the formula there.
