hmm...  I usually use the frontend...
Anyways, I think that the real-time ability f CSound doesn't go much
far back... I might be wrong, never tried it before.  I have been
successful with the version 4.484b.  Ver. 4.485 seems to be hanging
when you try to use audio input.

I used Korg1212 last night and all I did was to set "sound"control
panel to Korg as an input&output. This way CSound uses whatever sound
manager routes it to.  Guess that's how it works.  But it works :)

the score could be as simple as:

;ins start duration
i1    0      60

which will keep perf active for a minute.


otherwise you can assign p-fields and use a 'regular' score.
