ANNOUNCEMENT:

csoundapi~ 1.0 for Pure Data

This is a new PD class using the csound API & library, similar to Matt Ingall's csound~ class for MAX/MSP.

- multiplatform: linux, OS X and windows - compatible with versions 4.23 and 5 of the csound library providing: - multichannel IO - full score performances - score event triggering (i,f, and e statements) - control IO with the invalue and outvalue opcodes - score resetting, rewinding and offsetting

- soon-to-be-implemented features: i) MIDI IO ii) multiple instances: at the moment multiple csoundapi~ objects with libcsound 5 can be created cleanly, but they do not generate audio simultaneously. It is hoped that this will be fixed in the near future. (multiple instances, resetting and score re-opening are not possible with 4.23)

csoundapi~ is an alternative to the existing PD csound~, providing more IO options, and implemented through the API. It also finally offers csound-PD integration on Windows.

Where to get it?

1. www.nuim.ie/academic/music/musictec/csound/ Windows binary (csound.lib 4.23), examples and multiplatform source code

2 cvs.sourceforge.net csoundapi~ is now part of the csound 5 frontends package and it can be built on Linux and OSX using scons

Windows csoundapi~ with libcsound 5 is in the pipeline.
