I am exploring Steven's midi studio article, where the 'connect' opcodes 
are used.
In my csound server I no have this csd, but the instruments are dummy, like:

/* The per-note signal block of the Saw instrument */
instr 11         ( I use instr numbers not names, this was "Saw")
aout init 0
outleta "out", aout
endin

In the header the connection is as follows:

connect "11", "out", "SawBody", "in"

After the initial compile of the csd it seems I can replace the dummy 
instrument later using the
CompileOrc function (Python API).

This looks very promising!
