I have heard of various music applications that use csound in their waveform
generation while not actually giving the user the standard csound interface.
I am a student of music and I would like to develop a plug in for
steinberg's Cubase VST. This can be done reasonably simply using C++
programming. What I would like to know is whether I could incorporate a
csound program into the design using soundin etc. to input the sound from
vst and give myself more effects capabilities. I would have thought that as
C++ is an object orientated language it might be possible. Ideally I would
like to create a set of plug ins similar to GRM tools on the pro tools TDM
system. On another note, it would have to work in real time and not immensly
processor intensive. Also, if I developed them and sold them, what would the
licensing situation be, as csound is freeware, does that mean that you can
use it as part of another program without having to pay money to MIT.
Thank you. Any of your help will be gratefully received
