hiya everybody!

I would like to know if anyone on this list is using his computer with
CSound as an external synth expander?

And if yes on what kind of computer?

Thanx in advance!

What do you mean by "external synth expander" ?

That's pretty broad territory.


As in "I have a MIDI Synth / keyboard / (sound card), but need to expand its
sound..." ?


Not trying to be mean or anything, just want to get feedback quick to you
about where you want Csound to fit in your repertoire....

Csound can do many, uh, synthings....

Depends on what you want, in specific terms......  ;-)


Real-time needs vs. "I have a whole bunch of time to fit this bit against
that bit." makes a lot of difference also......

really.

Which OS you running?  ...  also



rich out


ps, Csound rocks, when you have enough time to make 'it go'....

I'm not sure what you mean by an "external synth expander". I'll assume
that you mean using Csound as a real-time MIDI driven instrument.

If that's the case, I'm getting Csound running on a Pentium 100 Linux box.
I'm trying to get it to work together with KeyKit, so that KeyKit handles
the MIDI input and drives Csound through Line events. So far, the
basically works. The reason I choose KeyKit is that it should be more
robust for doing real-time algo stuff (smart instruments), than trying to
accomplish the same thing using Csound (lots of bugs there most likely,
and the code for the Csound event processing is reeally nasty).
Also, KeyKit can function as a sequencer, so that your performances can
be recreated or whatever.
