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!
