I have uploaded a new file release for CsoundVST at
http://www.sourceforge.net/projects/csound. CsoundVST.zip contains sources,
build systems for Microsoft Visual Studio .NET 1.0 and Dev-C++ 4.9.8.3, and
prebuilt Windows binaries.

The new feature of this release is a Windows build of Loris as a plugin
Csound opcode (and, also, a Python extension module), and the addition of
some required Microsoft runtime libraries to the archive.

This file release also contains Peter Hanappe's FluidSynth soundfont
synthesizer in the form of a Csound plugin opcode, fluid, for Windows.

CsoundVST adds the following capabilities to Csound 4.23:

(1) Python scripting for algorithmic composition.

(2) Standalone graphical user interface (FLTK).

(3) Runs as a VST instrument plugin.

(4) Builds the Csound API as a static library.

Up to date sources for CsoundVST are available in Csound CVS.

Many thanks to John Fitch for hosting CsoundVST at SourceForge. Also, thanks
to John Ramsdell and Steven Yi for recent fixes to Csound sources, and
discussions.

More information is available online at http://www.pipeline.com/~gogins.

Future plans include basing CsoundVST on Csound 5, adding a plugin opcodes
Perry Cook's Synthesis Tool Kit, and adding to the library of example
scripts for
algorithmic composition.
