It provides a minimal csound interface using the csound API and thus should provide better performance and latency than the legacy csound~ object. It does not attempt to port all the features of the legacy csound object, but does provide a newer and higher performance facility for converting krate DSP to Max messages.

Iain,

Thank you so much for all your work on this port.  I use it and share it with my students at Berklee.

I hope that your version of csound6~ will be added to the downloads page at Csound.com along with the legacy version that is currently there by Davis Pyon and Matt Ingalls (which still runs ALL of the Csound for Live instruments and effects under Rosetta) 

If it might not be too much trouble for you, I am wondering (and hoping) that you could also build/port/share the Davis Pyon/Matt Ingalls 'legacy' version of csound~  (The version currently found at https://csound.com/download.html)  to run native on the M1 (Apple Silicon) Macs.  If you did, that would keep alive a lot of pretty great instruments, code, models that I would be happy to open source and post links for the collection at Csound.com too.

Iain, I think that I might have sent you a link to the entire collection.  I will do so now so that you can test or use or see why this complete set might be of interest and use to you and many others.  I hope it is an easy job for you.  And, again. thank you for your work on csound6~
