Hi all,

Announcing a new major release of risset, a package manager for csound external plugins!

This release includes experimental support for csound7. Many of the plugins now have two different builds and risset will do its best to detect the environment and install the correct plugins at the correct path.  There are also CI tests for all major platforms ensuring that the plugins are working.

Plugins installed via risset are integrated into csoundqt. The opcodes are highlighted correctly, show in the autocomplete menu and their corresponding help files are displayed as if they were built-in opcodes.

Best regards,

Eduardo Moguillansky

Hi Eduardo,

sorry for a very noobie question - but i tried to find infos about this, but i still have questions.

In context of csound, what are plugins there? Just more opcodes to use in csound? And how do i use them there?

All the best,
Philipp

Yes, that is correct. There is a build and test framework in place now as github actions, both for the plugins as for risset itself, so it is possible to add arm64 support. Intel macos is being tested and working. For mac I use the distributed csound package for testing so there is no testing for csound 7 yet.

Would love to see this work with arm64 and will be happy to test and
provide feedback when there's something available.

Much of the functionality of csound is implemented as plugins. For 
example all the audio backends are actually plugins, and many opcodes 
are also plugins. For example, in linux these are the builtin plugins 
distributed with csound 6:

$ ll -1 /usr/local/lib/csound/plugins64-6.0

libampmidid.so
libarrayops.so
libbformdec2.so
libcontrol.so
libdeprecated.so
libdoppler.so
libdssi4cs.so
libfractalnoise.so
libftsamplebank.so
libipmidi.so
libjoystick.so
liblfsr.so
libmixer.so
libosc.so
libpadsynth.so
libpmidi.so
libpvsops.so
librtalsa.so
librtjack.so
librtpa.so
librtpulse.so
libscansyn.so
libsignalflowgraph.so
libstdutil.so
libtrigenvsegs.so
liburandom.so

External plugins are exactly the same as these. They are loaded by 
csound at startup and they provide a list of opcodes which work just 
like any other regular opcode. Many opcodes which were previously in the 
csound main distribution were moved as external plugins (the python 
opcodes, for example, or the hdf5 opcodes). The current list of plugins is:

$ risset --update list

* else /1.15.0         | Miscellaneous plugins [installed: 1.15.0]
                        |    Path: 
/home/em/.local/lib/csound/6.0/plugins64/libelse.so
- pathtools /1.15.0    | Cross-platform path handling and string opcodes
* klib /1.15.0         | A hashtable for csound [installed: 1.15.0]
                        |    Path: 
/home/em/.local/lib/csound/6.0/plugins64/libklib.so
* beosc /1.15.0        | Band-enhanced oscillators implementing the 
sine+noise synthesis model [installed: 1.15.0]
                        |    Path: 
/home/em/.local/lib/csound/6.0/plugins64/libbeosc.so
- jsfx /1.15.0         | jsfx support for csound
* poly /1.15.0         | Multiple (parallel or sequential) instances of 
an opcode [installed: 1.15.0]
                        |    Path: 
/home/em/.local/lib/csound/6.0/plugins64/libpoly.so
- sndmeta /1.15.0      | opcodes using libsndfile
- risset /1.15.0       | Opcodes to access risset package metadata
- vst3 /0.3.0          | Host vst3 plugins in csound
- chua /0.1.0          | Implementation of a Chua oscillator
- hdf5 /0.1.0          | Read/Write signals and arrays to/from an hdf5 file
- python /0.1.0        | Opcodes to interact with an embedded python 
interpreter

All external opcodes are documented here: 
https://csound-plugins.github.io/risset-docs/index.html

Look at https://github.com/csound-plugins/risset for more information 
about installation and usage
