environment for Csound (particulary the CSSTRNGS
variable which is new in the latest versions).
The HPKComposer documentation for version

enhanced with user defined curve
- waveshaping module enhanced in HPKSynthe
- scanned synthesis module in Modular software
synthe
- major new VRML97 generation capabilities
- 8 Transform nodes, controlling up to 16 objects
- ElevationGrid node support, mathematical
curves are used for generated the
surface
- support of mathematical curves in Interpolators
- Directional light support
- mathematicaly generated IndexfaceSet
- mathematicaly generated IndexLineSet
HPKComposer version 2.1 ( April
2000)The 2.1 zip file is still online as HPKComposer 2.2 is not
able to read 2.1 files . Instructions for
installing it as the same as those of
2.2 version. What's new?

that can be connected together. These modules
are a large subset of the most high level
Csound opcodes.
- new composition tool Mutli serial segments.
- randomizer, add random variation at the final
stage<
- new capabilities for VRML97 generation.
- text node
- Mutli geometry. Generate collection of elements

HPKComposer version 2.0 ( 26 September 1999)As files produced by version 2.0
cannot be read by version 2.1, here is the
2.0 zip file. InstructionBefore downloading the zip file, check
you have the following software:
Java
Development Kit version 1.1.6 or later, or Java
Runtime Environment version 1.1.6 or later, and
the Java Foundation Classes, Swing components
version 1.1 beta 3. This is the minimum
required level.
or
the Java Development Kit version 1.2, that
includes the Swing components and lets the
installation of HPKComposer easier. I recommend
it If available on your platform.
Csound
compiler at 3.50 minimum level (see Tools).
All the Java
software can be found at the Javasoft site. You will also
need an external sound player, your preferred one! If you
want to build 3D worlds, you also need a browser with a
VRML97 plug-in (see Tools). After downloading the distribution file,
unpack it in a directory of your choice,
and follow the installation instructions
by browsing the file installation.html
