Update audio/csound to 5.06 csound has been "liberated" and is now GPL, see http://csounds.com/VercoeGift.html The corresponding csound entry in LEGAL should be removed, note that csound-manual isn't updated to 5.06 and is still subject to a restrictive license. With thanks to Erik Trulsson and Mel at -questions for patch-Top-csound.c PR: ports/116255 Submitted by: Martin Tournoij <carpetsmoker@xs4all.nl>

Csound is a programming language designed and optimized for sound rendering and
|
|
signal processing. The language consists of over 450 opcodes - the operational
|
|
codes that the sound designer uses to build "instruments" or patches.
|
|
|
|
Although there are an increasing number of graphical "front-ends" for the
|
|
language, you typically design and modify your patches using a word processor.
|
|
Usually, you create two text files - a .orc (orchestra) file containing the
|
|
"instruments," and a .sco (score) file containing the "notes."
|
|
|
|
In Csound, the complexity of your patches is limited by your knowledge,
|
|
interest, and need, but never by the language itself. For instance, a 22,050
|
|
oscillator additive synthesizer with 1024 stage envelope generators on each is
|
|
merely a copy-and-paste operation. The same goes for a 1 million voice
|
|
granular texture!
|
|
|
|
Have you ever dreamed of sounds such as these? Well in Csound you can. And in
|
|
Csound these dreams can come true!
