Hi,

I'm a newbie when it comes to csound and advanced synthesis and when I looked at csound and saol/sasl years ago I ignored them because they were way over my head.  I'm now giving it another look and after successfully installing on windows last week and reading the canonical manual a few times, I'm starting to get it and I'm getting excited!

Alot of my current wavetable instruments are in the dls/giga file format, though, and I'm not seeing any immediate way of loading them into csound, so that's my biggest question at the moment.  Is it possible?  Do I need to write my own opcodes?

I would also like to know if there's something along the lines of a C callback or polling mechanism for instruments so that if I integrate csound into the sequencer I've coded I'll be able to get the info needed to display meters of different output parameters in real-time.  A simple example would be a vu meter of an instrument's or bus's final output.

Regards,
- Andy F.

You can also load a VST sampler plugin into Csound although I've never
done this myself. Other can advise you better. I believe Mike Goggins does
this quite a lot.

Thanks for the pointers.  I just got Blender compiled (finally) and I'm hoping to implement a new sequencer based on open source code.  I'm sure I'll have more questions for you down the road.

Thanks again,
Andy F.
