from Martin Dupras' FAQ:
|
|
Csound is a software synthesis package in the tradition of so-called
|
|
music-N languages, among which the best-known is Music V. It consists of an
|
|
orchestra- and score-driven executable, written in C for portability. Since
|
|
Csound is a computational language, it is highly flexible and efficient;
|
|
complexity is gained only at the expense of computation time. Basically Csound
|
|
reads some files and creates the result as a file on disk or, on faster
|
|
machines, through a DAC in real time.
|
|
Csound needs at least two files to read from: the score, which is a
|
|
kind of event list for scheduling events, and an orchestra which defines how
|
|
Csound will synthesize those events. An orchestra is composed of instruments,
|
|
which are basically processes triggered by the notes (events) in the score.
