I just stumbled upon this in my latest browsing of the interweb and I am pleased to see that it's already installed in my default UbuntuStudio installation. However I can't seem to find any accompanying documentation, even after some pointed google searching. Can anyone give either an example patch, or some context for this object? I'm fairly well versed in csound language and would like to join these two languages together. Thanks.

bump.

Yeah once, on a machine that doesn't belong to me. I'm not normally one to complain about things, especially not a great idea like [csoundapi~], but in my opinion it''s a trial. It took 3 days to find all the dependencies and imho it's one of the most difficult and annoying things I've ever tried to compile and get working.

I decided to leave it and spare myself going through that again until someone writes some readable documentation or puts compatible working versions of the necessary components in one place.

Any progress?

It's in the Ubuntu Hardy repositories as pd-csound.deb; no compiling needed.

I create it and this message comes out on the PD window: csoundapi~ 1.01
A PD csound class using the Csound 5.08.2 API

But there's no associated help file & I'm wondering what the one inlet and three outlets give/take. I assume some previously created CSound code file names, maybe a message with CSound code, as input, sound & midi as output maybe?

I just installed Csound and noticed these helpfiles for csoundapi~ in the examples folder. I'm still pretty new to Csound so I don't entirely get it, but I hope it helps.

Cheers for the pointers guys. I'll get around to trying it again sometime.

Thanks Maelstorm, I couldn't find that anywhere in my CSound install when I looked. That explains a lot. It's exactly what I was looking for.
