Thanks for your note, David - yeah, long time, no hear.

Siren will be in “release” form in a couple of weeks; the current version is certainly beta.
It’d be great to have it on the Squeak projects site, and there are plenty of screen shots and short descriptions on http://fastlabinc.com/Siren <http://fastlabinc.com/Siren/> and https://github.com/stpope/Siren9C

I’ve been in touch with Juan about the FFI calls on Cuis…

Cheers and HappyNewYear!

At the bottom left is another music notation example based on a Siren event generator (a 4-voice stochastic cloud that focusses on a smaller interval while getting quieter).  The window in the upper-right is a display list view example/benchmark showing a huge display list: 20,000 @ 4000 pixels (note the size of the scroll bars) with 13,200 display items (random strings in different fonts, rectangles, lines, poly-lines and glyphs); it scrolls pretty snappily...
