... The good thing about the Csound syntax is that it is simple, and consistent. This consistency means that once one has overcome the steep learning curve,
new functions can be learned with ease (provided that the synthesis technique
is understood).
As a musician, and not a programmer, I find Csound very refreshing ... a
powerful synthesis engine, and composition tool, without the tarty front-end,
or commercial 'synth' approach, which come with aesthetic qualities which can
lead to standardised musical outcomes, and enable people to 'twiddle' without
really knowing what they are doing (I'm NOT saying this is an invalid way
of working)
I would just like to thank the likes of Barry Vercoe and John ff for working
so hard to make CSound possible.
Csound really is, a blank canvas, with inks, brushes, oils, found objects..
