<H2>Item 1</H2>

<P>
In subclause 5.7.3.3.5.2 (Determination of instrument output width
and bus width), replace the second sentence of the first paragraph
with:

<P>
<I>the width of each bus is either provided by a <B>send</B> statement
(subclause 5.8.5.5) or is determined by the sum of the output widths
(subclause 5.8.6.6.8) of the instruments routed to that bus in a
single <B>route</B> statement (subclause 5.8.5.4).</I>

<H2>Item 2</H2>

<P>
In subclause 5.7.3.3.5.2 (Determination of instrument output width
and bus width), remove the beginning of the third sentence:

<P>
<I>Only for the purpose of calculating bus widths</I>

<H2>Item 3</H2>

<P>
In subclause 5.7.3.3.5.2 (Determination of instrument output width
and bus width), add the following note at the end of the first
paragraph, before EXAMPLE 1:

<P>
<I>NOTE: if the output width of an instrument depends on
<B>outchannels</B>, and the bus width of the bus where that instrument
is routed is not specified by means of other <B>send</B> and
<B>route</B> statements, the orchestra may be indeterministic. 
Programmers should pay special attention in checking the 
deterministic behavior of the orchestra or make use of determined
bus widths (subclause 5.8.5.5).</I>

<H2>Item 4</H2>

<P>
In subclause 5.7.3.3.5.2 (Determination of instrument output width
and bus width), in EXAMPLE 1 replace the second route with:

<P>
<I>route(bus2, i2, i1);</I>

<H2>Item 5</H2>

<P>
In subclause 5.7.3.3.5.2 (Determination of instrument output width
and bus width) remove instr i3 from the pseudo-code. Replace the
paragraph following the pseudo-code with:

<P>
<I>In this orchestra, the global sequencing rules (subclause 5.8.5.6)
specify that instrument <B>i1</B> precedes instrument <B>i2</B>, and
instrument <B>i1</B> and <B>i2</B> precede instrument
<B>i4</B>. Instrument <B>i1</B> has two channels, so bus <B>bus1</B>
has two channels. Instrument <B>i2</B> has two channels, since it gets
input from <B>bus1</B>. The bus <B>bus2</B> has four channels, two
each from <B>i2</B> and <B>i1</B>. The instrument <B>i4</B> has four
channels, since it gets input from <B>bus2</B>.</I>

<H2>Item 6</H2>

<P>
In subclause 5.8.5.3.2 (Signal variables), replace the second part
of the paragraph following &lt;array length&gt specification with:

<P>
<I>
If the latter, the array length shall be the same as the number of
input channels or output channels of the orchestra, respectively. It
is illegal to use the token <B>inchannels</B> if the number of input
channels to the orchestra is 0.</I>

<H2>Item 7</H2>

<P>
In subclause 5.8.5.5 (Send statement), change the definition
of <I>&lt;send statement&gt;</I> to be:

<P>
<I>send(&lt;ident&gt;;&lt;exprlist&gt;;&lt;namelist&gt)</I>

<H2>Item 8</H2>

<P>
In subclause 5.8.5.5 (Send statement), in the paragraph beginning with
"Any bus may be routed to more than one effect instrument" replace the
first sentence with:

<P>
<I>
Any bus, except for the special bus <B>output_bus</B>, may be sent to
more than one effect instrument and/or instantiations; in this case,
when the simple identifier is not used, it is illegal to refer to a
bus with more than one length.</I>

<H2>Item 9</H2>

<P>
In subclause 5.8.6.5.1 (Syntactic form), replace the line following
the &lt;tablemap declaration&gt with:

<P>
<I>
&lt;array length&gt and &lt;namelist&gt as defined in subclause
5.8.5.3.2, except that in the instrument scope the tokens
<B>inchannels</B> and <B>outchannels</B> refer to the input channels
and output channels of the instrument, respectively.</I>

<H2>Item 10</H2>

<P>
In subclause 5.8.6.8.5 (outchan), replace standard name description
with:

<P>
<I>
The standard name <B>outchan</B>, in each scope, shall contain the number
of channels ofoutput provided by the instrument instantiation with
which that scope is associated, in the sense described in subclause
5.8.6.8.4.</I>


<H2>Item 11</H2>

<P>
In subclause 5.8.7.4.1 (Syntactic form), replace the last sentence of
the first paragraph to:

<P>
<I>
If the array width is the special token <B>outchannels</B>, then the
array width shall be the same as the number of output channels to the
associated instrument instantiation (in the sense described in
subclause 5.8.6.8.4).</I>

</TD>

<TD WIDTH="50%" VALIGN=top BGCOLOR="#FFCCCC">

<H2>Item 12</H2>

<P>
In subclause 5.8.7.5.1, (Syntactic form) after the &lt;opcode var
declaration&gt lines, replace the first two lines as follows:

<P>
<I>
&lt;namelist&gt and &lt;instr variable declaration&gt as defined in
subclause 5.8.5.3.2 and subclause 5.8.6.5.1. In the opcode scope, the
tokens <B>inchannels</B> and <B>outchannels</B> refer to the input channels and
output channels of the associated instrument,respectively (in the
sense described in subclause 5.8.6.8.4).</I>

<H2>Item 13</H2>

<P>
In subclause 5.8.6.6.2 (Assignment), add at the end of the third
paragraph (If the lvalue denotes an entire array...):

<P>
<I>
In the case that lvalue depends on the ordering of computation of the
right-hand-side expression (e.g. if an entire array is multiplied with
one of its elements), lvalue is undefined.</I>

<H2>Item 14</H2>

<P>In subclause 5.8.6.6.11 (Extend), in the third paragraph replace 
the following text:

<P><I>or the rate of the guarding expression containing the statement, 
or the rate of the opcode containing the statement, whichever is
fastest.</I>

<P>
with the text

<P><I>or the control rate if the rate of the guarding expression containing
the statement, or the rate of the opcode containing the statement, is faster
than the rate of the expression parameter.</I>

<P>
(MP4-SA Book Author Note: The purpose of this text is to make a-rate 
<B>extend</B> statements illegal.)

<H2>Item 15</H2>

<P>
In subclause 5.8.6.6.11 (Extend), before the NOTE add:

<P>
<I>
The <B>extend</B> statement shall not be executed in an instrument instance
that is created asthe result of a <B>send</B> statement referencing the
special bus <B>output_bus</B>.</I>

<H2>Item 16</H2>

<P>
In subclause 5.8.7.5.1 (Syntactic form), at the end of the second
paragraph add the following paragraph:

<P><I>A variable shall not have a rate faster than the rate of the
opcode. Standard names faster than the rate of the opcode are not
defined in the opcode. The imports tag shall not be used for local
k-rate signals when there is no global variable of the same name.
</I>


<H2>Item 17</H2>

<P> In subclause 5.8.7.7.3 (Shared variables and statements slower
than the rate of the opcode),at the end of the third paragraph add:

<P><I>
Statements that contain expressions of type <B>specialop</B> (subclause
5.9.2) are executed both at the k-rate and a-rate, and those
expressions return values as specified in subclause 5.8.6.7.6 and
5.9.2.
</I>

<H2>Item 18</H2>

<P>In subclause 5.9.2 (Specialop type), add at the end of the third
paragraph:

<P>
<I>Calls to <B>specialop</B> type opcodes are not allowed in
<B>iopcodes</B>, <B>kopcodes</B> and <B>opcodes</B>. If a call to a
<B>specialop</B> type opcode is present in an <B>aopcode</B>, the
specialop opcode is executed both at k-rate and a-rate according to
rules specified in subclause 5.8.7.7.3.</I>

<H2>Item 19</H2>

<P>In subclause 5.9.11.1 (rms), replace the sentence:

<P><I>It is a run-time error if length is provided and is negative.</I>

<P>
with

<P><I>It is a run-time error if length is provided and is not strictly
positive.</I>

<H2>Item 20</H2>

<P>
In subclause 5.9.12.3 (downsamp), in the fourth paragraph replace:

<P><I>0&lt;i&lt;SR*KR</I>

<P>
with

<P><I>0&lt;i&lt;SR/KR</I>

<H2>Item 21</H2>

<P>In subclause 5.C.3 (Syntactic grammar for SAOL in yacc), in senddef
replace
