	Hi, I’m happy to announce apeCsound, a new apeSoft plugin and app that runs Csound 7code live inside your DAW. Write or load a `.csd` file in the built-in editor, press Apply, and the engine recompiles while the track keeps playing. No restarts, no external tools. What you get An audio effect with MIDI input: process the track audio, or play Csound instruments from MIDI. 144 DAW parameters (Float, Int, Toggle, Menu) mapped to Csound channels, fully automatable. A code editor made for Csound: syntax highlighting, autocompletion, opcode help for the whole Reference Manual, and errors marked on the line. Graphs of function tables and signals, and a console with Csound’s messages. Built-in examples from the Cabbage and CsoundQt collections; their sliders, knobs and menus become parameters when the file is loaded. OSC support and multichannel tracks (up to 16 channels). Designed for teaching, experimenting, sound design and electronic music. Download iPad (AUv3 + app): App Store macOS (AU, VST3, Standalone): apeCsound.pkg Windows (VST3, Standalone): apeCsound-win.zip Linux (VST3, Standalone): apeCsound-linux.zip Source code: GitHub More info: www.apesoft.it/apecsound Happy Csounding!
