The type of live-coding possible here is one of setting up
a comprehensive orchestra and then controlling it with
live-coded events.

Another possibility is to run two or more instances of
Csound alongside and live-code instruments,  compile
and run in these different instances (stopping them if
you want to set a new instrument running). You'd need
Jack on Linux to do this. On Windows, this cannot be
done with ASIO (it is single-client).

This is because it is possible to unload instruments, but not
possible to load them yet on a running instance.

However, if you have a good orchestra, there is no need
to be creating instruments on the fly, as you can start them,
interconnect, modify, etc all with RT events.
