Right, but how?
Let's just imagine some people have been trying to find csound useful
for the last, say 2 years, and all but failed. It's clear that several 
people use it with score generating tools, and that has clear potential.

In brief, I'd like to know how people who actually feel productive
when using Csound, use Csound. Esp for doing more than a few seconds
of sound using just one or two ugens.


To me the lack of response is completely crippling. I need to hear 
what's happening when a variable is tweaked (that's my .2 second 
attention span...) - a good Buchla or Serge synth remains my candidate 
for #1 post-war music instrument.


Ps. I was very sorry to hear that the xyin is nonfunctional under DOS
- like a good PC slave i was hoping that my next hardware upgrade
would solve all my problems...

regards everyone
