Many thanks and best regards

Hi!
  What exactly do you mean by "Real" instruments?
  There are certain instruments, which sound natural, there are instruments,
which can be played in realtime and there are opcodes to emulate natural
instruments, as basic building-blocks. There is a violine, flute, clarinet,
several percussive sounds and more.
  Does this help in any way? Otherwise specify in more detail, what you are
looking for.
  Kindest regards
           Julien

I'm wondering if there's in depth explanations or it's merely a 
collection of code?

Ok, thanks for the rewiev, might give it a buy then.

I have the "csound book" and "virtual csound". But while I think "the 
csound book" is great I was a bit disappointed with "virtual csound". 
Maybe I got them in the wrong order (first "the csound book") since it 
seems to me like "virtual csound" is more aimed at beginners (although 
"the csound book" was also great for me when I was new).

A propos of which, I would remind users that a Windows build of the 
whole SNDAN suite (including PVAN of course) is available off the Bath 
dream server:


http://dream.cs.bath.ac.uk/software/sndan/sndan.html
and
ftp://ftp.cs.bath.ac.uk/pub/dream/SNDAN32/

NB it uses ghostscript for the graphic displays, so you need GSTools.
