Release notes for Modalys 3.3.1.0 (beta1)
Documentation
Habemus Modalysis documenta !
That was a promise made at 2012 Forum and here it is! We are proud to release this new, up-to-date documentation for Modalys!
The doc written by Morrison and Waxman around 1996 was obviously getting more and more obsolete. Nonetheless, we have kept as much spirit and content of this great legacy work, and Richard Dudas has worked really hard to make sense of all this, adding and rewriting sections entirely, and always making sure that everything would work as stated.
For now the help files focus on the ModaLisp interface. But this is just a starting point: release after release, the documentation will expand with tutorials, examples, and not only in the Lisp environement but also for Max (MLYS and modalys~) and Open Music.
We can I find the documentation?
If you work with ModaLisp, open any file and a Help menu will show up with 2 options:
<li><span style="font-size: 12.000000pt;font-family: 'Cambria';font-weight: bold">Open Modalys Documentation </span></li>
<li><span style="font-size: 12.000000pt;font-family: 'Cambria'">Go to Modalys Discussion Group (on forumnet.ircam.fr) </span>
If you have an internet connection, you will be automatically directed to the most recent version of the documentation hosted at Ircam’s server.
If you don’t, the local files (i.e. on your Hard Drive) will be used instead.
If you want to access the local doc files, just double-click on the help.html file found in /Applications/Modalys folder.
