Ok, I downloaded all the stuff I need to get started with Csound....inluded
the manual, lots of examples.....but...hey....still it's hard to get
started....
The syntax is really the most difficult I ever encountered considering
script
compiler programs...

Does anyone has tutorials or can explain me for a REAL beginner how to get
started with Csound ??  Ok, I do know how sound works : i know what
frequency
is, reverb, flange, harmonics, amplitude, filter etc....but not in the way
Csound
deals with it.....I especially need to know the SYSTEM Csound handles, not
a list of opcodes and features, but rather the syntax rules, the format of
the scripts...
so I can remind me that an oscil its third parameter has a different
meaning then
a grain opcode....That kind of things.....

special interests : - Textures and granular synthesis
                  	   - Timbral morphings 
                           - "almost" voices - sounds somewhere between a
voice and a
                                                       noise or
instrument...

				 
thanks.
