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

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
