i had a talk last week at the ICST (institute for computer music and 
sound technology) zurich, switzerland.  i tried to show some features of 
csound today, starting from a simple click, and arriving after say 
twenty minutes at something which starts to become interesting.

i have commented the code, so i hope that everyone can read and execute it.

the first instruments are plain csound; the last ones are for csoundqt.

the particpants enjoyed the functional syntax.  so i used it, although i 
must say that personally i cannot see why

	aSig = poscil:a(.2,400)

is preferable to

	aSig poscil .2, 400

i like the latter more, as it has less parentheses, and is in the same 
logic as

	x = 2

but as i said, the participants were more happy when reading functional 
style, and my job was to make them as happy as possible =)

perhaps it is useful for someone.  comments and corrections welcome.

Thanks for sharing! I wasn't aware of the functional opcode syntax. How long has that been a thing?

Thanks a lot for sharing!

Very nice and followable examples and really good and human-friendly start to 
get to do something!
