[Csnd] opcode repository?

Subject[Csnd] opcode repository?
I have reason to be wondering if something like a sound opcode repository/library/archive existed.
Google didn't help.

I had in mind a place to go to with a full search query to recover examples of instruments that contain say a combination of opcodes -  and to which we all could contribute.

Does anyone know of such a beast? if not, would there be any interest in it being available online?

I have posted my thoughts on this topic on my blog. I will be elaborating on this idea, and providing examples, in the coming days.

Thanks for your thoughts, Mike, and for the reference to the Amsterdam library.
Your goal seems more like the definition of a standard than what I have in mind, which is a more low-level functional approach that would enable enquiries  motivated by functional or contextual operator usage within an instrument.

The Amsterdam and other collections, including some made available by readers of this list, excellent illustrations, but there doesn't seem to be any effective way to search whether any of any of them use a particular opcode. I'm thinking of the more obscure ones, but once a parser is written, there's no need to limit it to them.

How many examples, do you recon, there are of instruments 'out there' that meet your 'spec.' ?

There has been a long-running UDO Repository online but it's currently
down.  I haven't heard anything from Christopher on getting the old
database data; I think I might just populate it with the last dump I
have but it may miss some UDO's that were added after that.  I'll look
at that tonight.

As for modular instruments/effects, Blue has had this for many years
where instruments and effects are completely encapsulated with GUI's
and easily portable between projects (ctrl-c, switch projects,
ctrl-v). The instruments and effects encapsulate any UDO's they depend
on, and Blue itself ensures UDO name clashes do not occur by
auto-renaming UDO's if necessary with generated names.  They are also
protected from versioning by being encapsulated, such that changing an
instrument/effect won't affect its usage in previous projects as they
are all individual copies.
