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.
