Hi!
I'd like to add some more questions here.
It's clear that DirectCsound provide a good possibilities for interactive
music.
My idea is to use a realtime Wave In (playing on saxophone) and to get some
more or less predictable (of course, surprises possible for performer but
not for programmer or composer :-)  ) sounding result (say "melody" played
by one of simple  Csound
instruments). I'm not so sophisticated in opcodes so I need some hints
about analysis
of realtime Wave In signal, something simple (I even not think about pitch
recognizing).
It may be response to duration or amplitude of note.

Regards,
