If this is a verbatim copy from your CSD, then try to comment out the
first line. An i-rate variable, can only be assigned once at init time.
So, the init statement should assign to it, being the first to attack
giupsampler.

If that doesn't work, you might better share your whole CSD.

Best wishes,

Jeanette

You have:

:: error: syntax error, unexpected T_IDENT  (token "vstinit") from
file /0RubenCsound/NewDevelopment3728322412.csd (1)

but that is saying Csound doesn't understand vstinit, which implies
you don't have the VST opcodes on your computer.

If this is MacOS, these opcodes are not packaged in the 6.10 installer.

Thank you,
If the source text is available somewhere, would it work including the VST opcodes in text format? I see a few examples doing that (below).

opcode	ambi2D_encode_1a, aaa, ak

Not quite sure what you mean? The source code needs to be compiled and there were problems, that is why they were not included.

Ok, they need to be compiled. I would have a learning curve compiling new csound versions.
